I'm working on packing up our lives. We have a LOT of stuff. And I am so emotionally attached to a lot of it. Cutsie teacher things that I can maybe someday use with my kids that I would be very happy to schlep around with us wherever we go. But I know that is not a good idea. I know that E has a similar problem, because a lot of his boxes hiding in the storage room contain years of art projects and art supplies. Most of which I have never seen. I'm working hard to get rid of things because I really don't want to get rid of most of my food storage. We're going to be starving student types. We can eat food, not old teacher supplies and art projects. It is hard to think of going from 2280 square feet of living space to 900. (We're trying to find a place that is big enough, yet cheap enough. I do not plan on going that small, but I'll not say "never".)
So, I feel like an episode of Clean Sweep or Clean House. I'll do my best to work through this. I'm sure those that help us move will appreciate it.

I know the feeling. Not to the extent you have it, but I am having trouble fitting us into our little basement apartment and I want to store only a limited amount in our parents' basements. It's hard to let go, but your adventures with be well worth it! :) Love ya! (Thanks for being there for the wedding! It was fun to see you.
Good luck with all the packing. I wish I could help out. Keep up the good spirit!
A new family adventure - sounds exciting! The packing and parting with things not so much! Where are you moving to?
