This week has really flown by. It's Friday night already... We had our last pizza and movie night in this house tonight - we'll have to work a bit harder to keep to our schedule once we're on the move! We've been steadily boxing things up over the past week and most rooms in the house are now in some sort of order (or disorder).
Half of the kid's clothes are already in suitcases - have to get the rest of them this week. Our clothes are mostly sorted into the different shipments.
We have managed to sell all of the big (read: heavy) items that we did not want to put into storage, so that was definitely a small victory for us.
We've been busily recording TV shows for the kids for those times when we really need to keep them occupied. All was going well until the DVR stopped working. One quick visit from our cable company later, and we now have a new cable box (for the last week of our service) and we are now in business once again.
Lots of last minute shopping! Picking up a few more items for the consumables (we probably have way too much at this point) as well as last minute clothing items for Josh and I.
The cats (who will be staying with my parents while we're gone) visited the vet twice this week to get updated on all their shots. They are now healthy and ready for the move. We have also confirmed that they still hate their carriers. Always good to check that one every year or so. You never know when they might change their minds.
We had the furniture appraiser in and are confident now that all of the furniture is ready for storage.
And somewhere in the midst of all of this, Christmas has snuck up on us. Can you believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow night???! Luckily Santa was busy earlier this year, so we haven't had to worry too much about that, but I have to admit, I'm having a hard time "getting in the spirit" with all of this other stuff going on. Best wishes to everyone else for a very Merry Christmas! Please wish us peace in the new year :)
