slow progress is still progress

Hello world,

I haven't done much on the moving front but that's because we can't move in until after July 1. BUT, that is this weekend!! Originally, we were supposed to move at this time, but then it got pushed back to the middle of July. But we learned that it is back to the first-ish! WOOT!

I know I packed up early, but I packed slow and efficiently. Robert and I packed everything in boxes in a nice and orderly manner, and all of the boxes are labeled. The only difference we really had during this time moving, is I used towels to pack the dishes. It gave place for my towels and it kept my dishes from breaking (well so far at least.) Robert wanted me to use the Greensheets or something like that. But that just causes trash - and isn't very GREEN! ;-) But other than that its been pretty painless. Except now I have nothing to do until we move!

Right now out of our whole apartment, we are keeping 13 boxes (we have a few more boxes that need to be packed - however, its a whole lot of things we use on a day to day basis.) I would say that we got rid of a bunch of unneeded things! I'm excited about that! Operation "De-Clutter" is working! I can't wait to see it in the new apartment though. I have a feeling I'll be getting rid of more things once we move and I find I have no place for them. In that case, I think it will be OK. I would rather have an uncluttered space from now on, than trying to find a spot for everything. It's almost a cleansing effect. =)

It takes 21 days to make a habit. I will be counting down those days until we get into the habit of doing things right! =) And I'm talking everything. The way we eat. (We have got to be healthier - especially if we want to have kids. I want to be able to keep up with my children and pass on good diet habits so they'll have a healthier life!) The way we house keep. (Which should be soo much easier seeing as how we have less space! To be honest, the only rooms that we really kept clean were the rooms that people were in. Now everyone is going to be in every room! And NO CLUTTER!!!!) The way we spend money. (We have to pay off all of our stupid debt and start saving money for a house!!) And just the way we do anything in life. I just want to be a better person all around. =) Here's to our second chance in life!

Life's too short to have too much stuff,

Sandy
