This past weekend was very productive! Well sort of... Saturday was planned to be a big packing day for us since Brandon was off work however, it was productive in other ways. We went to the gym, the grocery store and I'm not too sure what else we did but it wasn't packing! Actually I did get my clothes separated from what I was taking to the trailer and what was going to be packed. I got the clothes packed that I'm not taking to the trailer! Woo hoo! My sweet sister n law had plans to come over and help me pack but she didn't make it over until that evening and her fiance came as well. So we had dinner with them and visited instead of packing! Ha Ha! We had a great time and enjoyed it more than packing anyway. We needed an evening to chill and hang out.
So on Sunday I decided to skip the annual fish fry in Trinity with the Woodsons so that I could get some packing done since Brandon was at the fire dept working. Thankful that I was off work on Monday for Memorial Day, I went to packing! I had a room full of boxes packed and ready to move so on Monday morning after Brandon got off work we loaded up the trailer with the boxes that we had packed and took them to the storage. Since Brandon didn't have to work on Tuesday I took the day off so that we could pack & move more. We spent the whole day packing up most everything in the house that was able to be packed into a box. The kitchen took the longest with all the things that had to be wrapped up. We have a LOT of glass items! Since it took most of the day to pack boxes it was that evening before we got it all moved.
So now we are living on the necessities at our house. We are using the things that we plan to take with us to the trailer. I'm talking, plastic plates and bowls, 2 spoons, 2 forks, etc. Just the minimal. It's quite different! It's also a mess! There are so many miscellaneous items in our "back room", the entrance we use to the house because it's next to the carport, that are waiting to be boxed. These are items that are small pieces of furniture to oddly shaped items I haven't decided how to box yet. It's driving me crazy! :-) But not too bad because it doesn't seem as if I've at home in the evenings long enough let it bother me too bad.
So this coming weekend Brandon will be gone and wont be home until Sunday evening. He left early this morning for the fire dept and will leave this evening for Ft. Worth for training. I will be leaving the house early in the morning to run a 5k race in Sugar Land. Hopefully I will have time Saturday evening and Sunday to work on some more packing.
Next weekend, a week from today, we will most likely be moving the rest of the furniture that we have at the house that we are keeping. I am thinking by then we will be staying in the trailer. We've got to get it moved into place and set up still!
Everything is moving right along!
