The Packing Process has begun......

Have you ever really noticed how much stuff you accumulate after just a few years?? I mean we just bought our house 3 yrs ago, purged then.... Then we moved the house a year ago, and again purged then... Now we are moving to another state, so we are really getting rid of stuff. Though, one would think after that many times, we wouldn't have that much stuff left right? Wrong!!! Today started the process of packing. First room up, Hunter's... mostly cause his is the smallest, and is going to be used as storage for now. I must say I'm very proud of everyone for their enthusiasm of getting rid of some of their stuff. Today we started what will probably be our 2 week long yard sale process. So far so good. Course we haven't hit storage yet, so their is another big task ahead! What we don't sell, and don't want to keep is going to charity. I'm in hopes to get half the house down this weekend. I'll let you know how that feat goes! At least, the rain held off for today.

packing, sorting, getting rid of, yikes... it's a nightmare! Really, if you want or need the kids out of your hair for awhile, just let me know. I'm available most of the time!

I love getting rid of stuff. And I am very greatful that we are in the military. We are always moving and so I am always getting rid of things. And I totally agree with you on it sneaking up on you, all your stuff. We were in Florida before here and I liked it. I think the biggest plus for me was that there wasn't any SNOW. Although, I normally go home at least once in the winter months to see it. Good luck with all your packing and if you want any ideas, I am here.
