I am so utterly excited about settlement in 5 days, I cannot contain myself! I got up super early this morning so I could do some extra packing before I had to get ready for work. I tried the plastic bag method and have some clothes all packed up. They are still hanging but ready to move. So far I have 3 totes packed full of clothes, with a ton more to pack! (I have WAY too many clothes). I packed 6 measuring cups, because really, who needs 6 anyway? I left the tiny one just in case (that makes 7 total, wow!). This came about when I was trying to put some pots in the cabinet and those darn measuring cups were just in the way. Packed those suckers up and now I have more room. We may need to cook in the next week and a half (haha) so I will still need some pots and pans around, but one measuring cup will do! I am trying to figure out what things are not necessary to have and just get those things all into boxes. We won’t technically be moving in until the weekend of the 16/17th since we still have to install the fence and do a little painting (by a little I mean 3 rooms – dining room, partially finished basement, master bedroom, and I only want to do one wall in the master bedroom). Hopefully we can get the painting done Tuesday after signing all the papers. We both took the day off and I hope to do as much as we can to prepare before moving everything in. So who wants to help me move? 😉
I am hoping the next few days fly by, because my patience is wearing thin and I want to get into this house already. The long nights at work don’t help when everyone leaves at 5 p.m. and I am there practically by myself until 7. That will change once we get another service desk person, the sooner the better! The move will only add about five minutes onto my morning drive, and make it about 5 minutes less for Ray. Not a huge difference, but I am excited that there is a drive thru Dunkin Donuts on my way!
For those of you with experience moving, when did you start packing, and how long did it take you? We seriously started in the beginning of October, one box at a time, a little here and there. Now I am ready to do some major packing and be ready to go!
First project: finish fencing and clear this backyard….

Hi Heather… I received your comment on my blog, but I couldn’t find your e-mail address to respond. Congrats on your new home! If you want to send me a pic of your family room, maybe I can help you figure out a good place for the TV 🙂 Good luck with the move!
What are you planning on doing to the back yard?
Hi Sam!! There is actually a swing set behind all those plants/bushes next to the shed, so we are going to get rid of that, and clear all the plants. We don’t have green thumbs, exactly… The previous owner has tomato plants and other things growing, so we are basically going to take it all out. I will need suggestions if we can maybe donate them somewhere i feel bad throwing out perfectly good vegetable plants! Ray and I don’t even eat tomatoes so it is pointless for us to even have it! Plus we would probably end up killing them all anyway… We also have to finish the fencing, which you can’t really see, but in the front of the house and the side from where the picture is being taken. Fun stuff!!
