Exciting (Stressful) News – We’re Moving!
Exciting: I have been wanting to move for some time now. Although the size of our new apartment is roughly the same, it is much nicer. Nicer closets, nicer kitchen, nicer neighborhood. Nicer. The location will also cut a lot of time off my commute as it is on the east side of town. I love to decorate. This gives me an opportunity to evaluate all of my previous furniture and home decor choices and decide what stays and what goes. I can think of a few projects that just might wind their way here to the blog.
Stressful: Could we have picked a worse time to move? Probably not! We won’t move until the end of May. At that point I will still be in school. We have at least 3 college graduations to attend, and we are both in a wedding. Will we be able to find the time to pack and haul things to the new place? We also have to face the fact that we have a lot of stuff. More stuff than two people should have! Hoarding tendencies? I don’t think so. But each of us has our own hobbies, which come with their own set of supplies.
HELP! I am looking for some moving and packing tips. What can I do to make this go more smoothly and be less stressful for everyone involved?

I slowly moved throughout an entire week. I packed up things I wasn’t going to use right away, took it to my new place, then unpacked it right away. I did a few car loads each night and by the end of the week, all I had left were my large items that took more than one person to move. Happy moving! 🙂

Unpacking right away is a great idea…that way I can reuse the boxes/totes!

Exactly! And that way, you know exactly where you put stuff instead of having several boxes to sort through after you move in.

We are moving to the East side of town..84th street to be exact. The new place is VERY nice! And no – the entertainment center is not moving with us…in fact, it stayed with the girls I lived with before we were married. Tony is off the hook…I’m not really sure how we moved that into a 2nd floor apartment by ourselves. I can guarantee it’s not coming down that easy!
