Preparing for the Move


This weekend has seen it's fair share of boxes, pulled muscles and packing tape. It took two solid days of work for us to really feel like we put in a dent. How did this happen? When did we accumulate so much stuff? I thought I was successfully anti-stuff! But we easily filled a sixteen foot storage pod with our family's necessities. AND WE STUFFED...like Kim Kardashian in leggings! Another pod was quickly ordered and arrived within hours. Jerry certainly put in more man-hours. He must have drawn the short straw, because while I was with Ella and her Aunt Karin in Lincoln Square eating brunch outdoors, Jerry was keeping company with the movers. I hate to overgeneralize, but are all movers required to have a criminal record and dental issues before hired? Seriously, I kept checking in with Jerry throughout the day to make sure he wasn't held captive by Cliff and Jay aka Dahmer and John Wayne. I digress. We now sleep on a mattress in our living room and count-down the days till our move. Bitter-sweet certainly defines our current feelings. Gonna miss this old place tons. We will never be able to capture in pictures everything that we want to remember. New adventures await.
