stuff

there's nothing like seeing most of what you own in boxes.
how did i ever collect so much stuff?
i really consider myself an anti-hoarder, i clean out stuff all the time.
too much stuff makes me claustrophobic, i have to get rid of it.
but there are still a lot of boxes, it surprises me.
how do we still have all this stuff after i've sent so much of it to good will?
i'm worried about moving to a home that doesn't have a ton of storage.
this home has more storage than anything else.
it's going to be an adjustment.
but also a lovely excuse to get rid of so much crap.
the walls are all naked now, it's very strange.
it's not my house any more.
boxes are stacking up in every room.
and i'm just so ready to start moving them!
i couldn't have done this without rich, he has worked like a mule getting us ready.
we close tomorrow, which means, i'm still worried something could go wrong.
i'm worried about adjusting to a new ward.
i hope there are kids for my kids
i worry too much, i know, but this is a big deal, so "smooth" would be nice.
so far, mostly smooth, so i will keep my fingers crossed.
and i promise, after we unpack and settle in,
i will be a better blogger.
spring has been a crazy whirlwind of goodness
so right off the bat i'll have tons of material for posting.
i can't wait!


smooth....smooth....smooth

I think it is good to move it really helps you get stream lined.

ah, yes. boxes and boxes. i can only magine. you never know how much stuff you have until you have to move. but i guess spring is a good a time as any to move and pack up seeing as how that's when we're supposed to 'spring clean' anyway? i'm with you 'bout the clutter though, no thanks. not in my house. good luck...and you know to call us if you need anything...or if e needs anything, right? sure love ya.

I will cross fingers for smooth:) I think it is all going to be fine. The anticipation is always worse than the actual thing.
