Mark your calendars for April 9th…that’s our moving day! I promise :)
Until recently, our house mainly felt like a big project that was never going to be finished. It was a place to paint and renovate, but it didn’t seem like we would ever actually live there. Well, the day is soon approaching!
We put up the new shelving in our pantry on Saturday, and I’m really excited about it. The old shelving was sticky and rigged up with tape and wooden pieces. When we took it down, we patched up at least 60 holes before we painted. Guess how many holes it took to put up the new shelving? 11! The new shelves are also 20 inches deep (8 inches deeper than the old ones), so I have much more room for my pantry stockpile! And, the shelves can be adjusted to different heights if I decide that I want to change things around!

We also have the shelving in our master bedroom closet almost completely finished. Lowe’s is out of the shelves that we need for one wall, but we’ve got the system in place, and that’s the tedious part. Once we buy the shelves, all we have to do is pop them in where we want them.
The next step in the process is packing…our favorite! We’ve done a lot of packing since we got married. We moved into Presidential where we lived for the spring 2008 semester. Then, we packed up some stuff to move to Baugay’s for the summer. Then, we moved back to Presidential for the fall 2008 and spring 2009 semesters. Then, we packed up everything and moved it into storage for the summer. We moved back to Baugay’s for the summer, and then we unpacked everything from storage into our apartment at Rivermont for the fall 2009 and spring 2010 semesters. Then, in May 2010 after Travis graduated, we moved all of our stuff back to Baugay’s where we’ve been ever since! Now it’s time to move again! We’ve gotten pretty good at packing, labeling, and organizing in the past 3+ years! The good news is that even though we’re saying that we’re moving April 9th, if we don’t get everything moved on that day, it won’t be the end of the world. I don’t think Baugay will be auctioning off our stuff before we have time to come back for it…haha :)
Well, I’m going to make this a short post because I’ve got a lot to do today! Hope you’re having a good week so far :)

>I can totally empathize! We're beginning the house-renovating that you are about to complete. *sigh* Already it seems like it will never end! We are actually already living here, but we haven't moved our stuff over yet. We know if we do that A) it'll be harder to work around it and B) it'll be easier to just leave things the way they are.
Can also empathize on moving a lot… sigh.
Have a "fun" moving day!!
>Glad to know we're not the only ones having this much fun! :)
