48hrs and 30boxes later...Lina and I are roughly 2/3 of the way through packing up our place. We only left the house once this weekend and and that was to drop off some personal papers for mass shredding and pick up some boxes. Its ok - the weather was pretty rotten anyway.
We are completely out of the downstairs and are most of the way through the two rooms upstairs. All the delicate packing is done (breakables and valuables), the rest can just be tossed into an hollowed container for transporting.
We are doing the final walk through Monday around 3pm and plan to sign with the title company around 4pm. I believe it is then that we will get the rest of the keys (we have one now for discrete use - showing Ma & Pa Reeth and GrandMa Betty the interior a few weeks back.
Lina, as always, was a champ - wrapping and reminding me to wrap our belongings all weekend long. We were very productive as we finally had the excuse to toss so much junk away. While there is still more to go, we managed to reduce our bulk by a respectable percentage. At one point Lina screamed from the other room - I ran in to see what the problem was...she stood blankly staring at me and exclaimed "You have MORE socks?" We had just gone through a throw out session with what Lina will claim was a 100 pairs of my socks, only to find moments later a FULL draw full with more. I moved quickly to remove them from her sight so she could stop squeezing her cheeks in frustration.
We're excited to be this close to moving in and look forward to sharing our new home with our family and friends for years to come.
Its 9:25pm and Monday is on the move a little early. Gotta go - its our time.
