Today Mom and Janelle came over to help me pack. We got lots of boxes packed, we're trying to box up everything we won't be needing in the next two weeks. Yup - we're moving in two weeks. This has all happened so fast! It seems like it was only yesterday that Jeff told me he wanted to apply to work at the reference lab. I had no concept of how fast it would all happen - Jeff's application, phone interviews, waiting to hear back from the lab, finding an apartment, getting everything all worked out with our current apartment managers, planning when Jeff would start working and when we would move, and now we're packing boxes.
Anyway, the three of us worked for quite a while, boxing up everything in the closets, pantry, the stuff on the walls; we got a lot done. Then when Jeff got home from work this afternoon, he brought home lots and lots of nice big boxes for us to use. so now the apartment is full of boxes, full and empty. The empty ones, we'll pack up in the next couple weeks. The sooner the better! We plan to fill the U-Haul on the 26th, the day before Thanksgiving. Then we'll spend Thanksgiving with my family, at Mom's parents' house. Then on Friday morning we'll finish loading the last of our things, check out of the apartment, and head off to our new home, and our new life!
And I'm still scared.

I am so glad you are getting packed up and I can't wait to see where you go and how life is there!
You can do this! I am so excited for you!!
And our house is box-filled too...and junk filled...
blah
Woo Hoo! Salt Lake City here you come :) I'm curious which town you guys found your new place in... I'm in Lehi.
That's great they came to help! I am glad the Air Force pays movers to haul our stuff around. Unless we have more kids and have to move to a bigger house. Then we would have to do it on our own. Ouch! How on earth would we get the piano out of here and onto a truck?
I just won't move.... ;-)
