Things are Feeling Real

The hubby and I are about to enter an intense window of “Crunch Time”. While we have until the end of January to fully move, we’ve both decided that we’d like our official moving date to be the day after Christmas. This way I’ll have a week off of work to settle into our home, and make it “ours”. This leaves around 12 days to get all of our packing done. Cleaning of our current apartment will definitely be put on hold until we’ve moved (since we’ll have that extra month to clean it). Luckily, since we’ll have the keys 2 weeks before our official move, we’ve already planned on moving smaller items to the apartment. It’s just a matter of figuring out which things we’ll move, packing those things, and when we’ll move them.  Of course, there’s also the matter of figuring out what we’ll be selling before our move. I’ve already begun going through our apartment looking for things to sell. I’ve become slightly addicted, actually. Unfortunately, no one has bought anything from me yet except my Wii. BOO! Listing things and having zero bites is extremely frustrating.

So onto the things that I need to get done: I need to start packing or at least “semi” packing things into boxes and bags so that we can move them with our cars and know where they belong before our furniture needs to be brought in. This mostly consists of our clothes, kitchen stuff, personal belongings and electronics. I’m hoping to only have our furniture on the moving truck. We also may sell or store our current bedroom set and get something simpler. It may be unnecessarily too large for our new bedroom since it’s a renovated attic that has angled walls. Which is totally fine with me since we won’t be spending too much time in the bedroom – we’re living room people.

One thing I’m extremely excited for? To finally have a “baby” room to put all of the hand-me-down baby things in… No, we’re not pregnant, but we have enough stuff in case we do get pregnant! This means our den area can be my craft room J This is very exciting for me. Hopefully I’m able to get my HD video cam and I can make a big tour with how we’re decorating/organizing everything.

Ok. That’s enough of an update for now. I really need to get to packing!
