get your move on

we are right smack dab in the middle of a cross country move. our house went from this...









to this...




to this...


in the process we learned that it takes a village to move. thank you to our dear friends who helped with food, kids, packing and cleaning. and thank you to my dear husband who put up with my hyperventilating on the last day when it looked like we weren't going to make it. my scattered packing techniques. my critiques of his packing techniques. and my tendency to collect way too much stuff. 

we gave a lot away before we moved, so i thought i was doing pretty well. but hen the movers came and the foreman said this to bill: "ya got a lot of boxes. ya got a damn lot of boxes. your wife must love the mall." yep. so now my damn lot of boxes and our little circus of two cars, 4 kids, two dogs and more stuff are headed off. off on another one of life's great adventures!

Oh my goodness! I laughed right out loud at the mover's commentary on your stuff! If we had movers, they surely would have said the same thing!! In fact, our friends did! :P
Moving is so hard, but I hope that from here on out, your transition is smooth!
