I can't believe this time has come, but I am already in the midst of moving!
I've spent the last week packing. A little bit in the evenings after work (though I don't get home until 7:30 or 8:00), and then all of yesterday. I have finished packing the kitchen (except a few appliances), the living room (did that one first, was remarkably easy), the closets, the bathroom, and kind of my room. My room is kind of messy... but in terms of things packed, its actually pretty good to go.
My folks will be coming up in a couple hours to help me move. We're going to take some stuff to value village, then spend a bajillion and a half hours moving my stuff into Karisa's place. My lease doesn't start until a week from Monday, so I'll be sleeping on Karisa's floor until then. That and the fact that she's letting me keep all my stuff in her living room means she's pretty awesome!
Hopefully everything can get moved by 9:00 tonight - when my parents want to head back to Edmonds, and Karisa's mom should arrive up here to help her clean. I'll spend the next couple days cleaning, cleaning and cleaning! Luckily Rachael will be coming up here Sunday and Monday too, so we can work together. There is a LOT to clean.
I've been over to Karisa's new place a couple times (in the same building as my future place), and I LOVE it! It is so much better than the pictures suggest. I cannot wait to put up pictures and show it off, but obviously it won't do it justice. I'll just have to show everyone in person!
I have been taking photos throughout this whole process, so maybe once I'm done I'll put up some "packing/cleaning/moving" pictures.
Anyway, now I have to pack the bag of clothes I will live out of for the next week, and put the rest into some random other suitcase. And pack up my computer. I might also put some of my small topless boxes into big boxes... besides that, there isn't tons to do. Crazy!
