dancerjodiEither I've suddenly become an expert packer, my boxes are surprisingly large for small boxes, or my stuff shrunk. I have only 3 book boxes (1 more to fill with books from the living room) and only 3 boxes of dining room stuff. If this keeps up, our move will be easier than last time.
I think the key is, trying to avoid using those red Staples boxes from work that paper comes in. I'll use them if I need to - but they are kind of small. The last time we moved that's the majority of what we had . . . and we had probably 70 or so boxes (coming from a 2 bedroom apartment). Brian has a lot of stuff (seriously) - I'm sure once he starts packing more seriously the things will be piling up.
It will be weird not having a dining room set. Our kitchen set will move from the craft room back into the dining room where it was when we first moved in. We'll have that at the new house too, until we get a new set on purpose that we like (as opposed ot one that's cheap and functional, like this one was).
In some ways this move is sad, saying goodbye to things that we have great memories about is going to be tough (leaving this house that we made a home literally and figuratively will be difficult). In other ways I think its cathartic - its cleaning out the crap and clutter and simplifying things. And we can't forget the delirious excitement of getting back to the old hood, either. :)
