Quite literally. We packed more boxes today. The place is looking pretty barren. It won't be long before we're as packed as can be before we move out. That's exciting! The days seem to be passing faster now. Our move out date seems to be just around the corner when really it's almost a month away still. We bought boxes from usedcardboardboxes.com. It's a really nice service, actually. Free shipping on five gigantic boxes of boxes. The used boxes are all in wonderful condition and it saves numerous trips to the mini ustorage store. Plus, when you figure out the cost per box it's only a few cents more than if we got it at the mini storage place and with gas costs we're probably saving money. Although, the tape the send to us just is atrocious. So we'll be going out to get scotch moving tape tomorrow. This stuff just isn't worth the frustration.

Maddy also helped pack tonight. I put up video of her packing her books. I am so impressed with how well she's been handling the changes. It's a lot for a little kid to go through. I continue to process it with her on a regular basis. It seems to help to talk it through a few times and she really seems to get it. Now, we'll see how things go on the big day, but as of right now, she's doing great with it.

I have three movers coming tomorrow for estimates. That should be interesting! I'm secretly hoping that we can have them move everything. Matt wants them to just move the furniture and we do all the boxes and the little stuff. I want them to take it all. We'll see how different the estimates are for just part or all.

Ok, well, it's been a long day and I'm tired. It was a total bust day in both the diet and exercise department (eating out TWICE and not good either) and then just too tired to work out. ARGH. I am reminded how absolutely essential it is that I plan our dinners ahead and make sure there is something on the table at night. Otherwise it's just too easy to order in takeout! So I see a grocery store run in our future for tomorrow and I see numerous crockpot meals on the table over the next month! Anything is better than eating out frequently and better on the pocket book, too.

Have a good night all! I think I'm going to hang out with Matt for a bit and then I'm heading off to bed early!
