Packing Day

The packers are here today to put all our stuff in boxes. There are just three women. I was expecting more somehow. I can't imagine how long it would take me to box everything up.

We pulled everything out of the kitchen that we wanted moved so that we could make it a do not pack zone. Who knew we had so much stuff in our kitchen?



I'm writing this from inside our fort. We set aside all the stuff we are keeping here - either to fly out with us or to give away. Then we blocked it off with the air mattress. I decided that this was a great time to build a fort. I mean - how often in grown-up life do you have a legitimate reason to build a fort? And this is a super pimped out fort. As you can see from the picture- we have a lamp and obviously there have to be cushions to sit on. We also have a fan, a CD player and - of course - wireless.

We'll keep you posted as we say goodbye to Charlottesville. We've already had several farewell parties. This is a very bitter sweet time. Seattle will be great fun, but it is so hard to say goodbye to all our friends. And of course, it is a little sad to be leaving the first house we shared. I'll miss our squirrels too...
