Prepping for the Move

We have been busy prepping for our move. The house looks like a bomb went off (though when doesn't it) but I am moving things here or there trying to set aside what we need to keep with us for the month we will be here without our stuff. I came up with the bright idea of putting what we didn't want packed into the master bedroom closet (and overflow into the bathroom if need be). But this means I need to move the stuff out that we want packed. So where do you put that stuff. Well, I decided on the guestroom closet so that means I need to clean out the guestroom closet. The guest room closet is mostly storage of misc. things so all that stuff has bee going into the storage room or down to the front room. The space I created in the storage room was by taking out our suitcases and moving those into the master bedroom closet. Ahh what a circle of things moving here and there! :-)

Blunoz has been busying with the paperwork side of things. Scheduling the move, giving Forest City (housing management company) our notice, signing up for Aloha furniture, getting information on shipping the cars and dealing with the mortgage stuff for the new house. Hopefully I can get him to help with the closet rotation and the garage this weekend so we aren't all stressed the weekend before the movers come (they come on August 6).

Major things left to do:
  • Sort out what we are keeping
  • Make at least one more trip to Goodwill
  • Empty out the garage fridge
  • Clean the garage
  • Clean the grill
  • Empty out the potted plants

I think I would rather go to the pool!

I agree....hit the pool...the stuff will still be waiting when you get back! For me, moving is the worst part of it all! (the actual act of it that is!)

Good luck and keep pluggin' along! At least you'll be stateside soon!

Pool? Ha! You've got a great game there moving things between the closets, it's like one of those 'put the numbers in order' or 'unscramble be picture' games. You know, where there is one fewer block than spaces and you have to slide them around?

Hehe, I totally feel your pain. The unaccompanied baggage folks just left and some rooms in our house look very barren, and other rooms look like they were hit by a cyclone.
