Time to pack...

Since school is over, now I have time to focus on the next major project: packing my house and moving to Del Rio.  I am packing everything up this weekend, and then moving it all to Del Rio later in June.  In the meantime, I will be living in Houston so my mom and I can finish up the wedding planning!  Right now, my house is full of boxes that are being carefully and neatly stacked in the closets and garage so that I can continue showing my house:


There are boxes everywhere!! And yes, there is furniture in the closet.  I can't wait to be in our new house in Del Rio!  I am living out of suitcases and travel bags for the next two months, and my house is full of boxes!  And, I'm grateful for the fact that I will be moving every three years.  I have accumulated so much junk just living here the past few years; I have made a trip to Goodwill almost every day with more bags of donations!  I have also sold at least 100 books!

My garage is a disaster at the moment, but when my relator showed it today, she said it was okay because "you can still see all the space."  Haha...

And here is my charming ball of joy and fur who was "helping" us all weekend.  Actually, he was pretty amused by all the packing material, and I was constantly pulling him out of bags.  He always gets really nervous when I start packing my suitcase, because it usually means he is alone for the weekend, but he is not sure what to think about my packing of all these boxes!  He's a little confused, which is possibly why he looks so angry in the picture...

 
My dad has been in town helping me to pack this weekend: he packed the entire kitchen and would build boxes for me on command!  We went out to the Oasis for lunch one afternoon for one last hurrah in Austin.  It was a beautiful day, and all the umbrellas kept us nice and cool on the patio.  Notice how incredibly low the lake is...not good for all the boaters this summer!

So, this week, I am working the volleyball camp at school in the mornings and continuing to pack my stuff in the afternoon.  I have a meeting with my relator and other last minute things to do in Austin, and then I am heading to Houston on Thursday!  And, great news!  My dress has arrived in the store, and I have my first fitting on Thursday of this week!  Whoo hoo!  I know it's going to be too big, because I have lost some weight since I tried it on in January, so hopefully the alterations won't take too long.  I can't wait!!

I won't post the countdown of the number of days until the wedding, because it really freaks my mom out, but it's close!! :-)
