It's Official!

We are moving! We have given our notice to our current apartment manager that we will be out by September 6th. A bunch of Alden's family is planning on coming to visit and help us move. Jack is bringing his truck and so hopefully will only have to rent a small trailer for the heavy stuff we don't want to lift into the truck. I have started getting boxes from work and getting them packed with the things we don't need on a daily basis. Decorations and my books are some of the first things to get packed. I am trying to get it done early so I don't have to rush the last couple of days, since I have to work and can't take days off because Ted is off. I am also trying to be super organized and trying to put everything in boxes dusted and clean. I know if things get left to the last minute it will just get thrown into any available box as is. There are a bunch of things that I want to throw away or donate and Alden wants to hold onto it. Any suggestions on how to get a pack rat to get rid of things they don't need? I have resorted to throwing away small things when he is not looking and either hiding them at the bottom of the trash can or taking out the trash myself. Sneaky, I know. I am so excited to move into a larger place. Too bad that means packing and unpacking.

Until next time...
