Purging and Packing

The countdown is down to 24 more days! It won't be long before we'll have to start packing, but we've tried to do a little purging first. So closets have been cleaned and garbage cans filled. There have been box-laden trips to the consignment shop and ebay sales. I think I've gotten my furniture arrangement down so also been selling the furniture we don't need to take.

Our kitchen table is gone now and has been replaced by egg boxes which will soon be packed to the brim with our belongings! Thank goodness Jackie works at a grocery store...it makes finding free boxes a piece of cake. Jathan will be eating out of his walker until we move and we'll make do with tv trays! Hopefully we can buy the table I've got my eye on to have in the apartment, though.


We also sold our grill, the one we bought with all the gift cards we got for our wedding. So it was a little sad (only a chick would get sentimental over a GRILL!) but there won't be any where to use it and it's not as if we used it all that much here. We were still on our first tank of gas! Plus we know it went to a good home. = )

Earlier this week we loaded up all the junk we couldn't pawn off on our friends = ) and had a yard sale. My dad knows a guy and we got to set up in a really good spot right on the highway. We sold over $200 in four hours on a Tuesday so I think it was a real success! I'm taking another trailer full tomorrow to sell and hope I do even better since it's a Friday and there are usually more people out. If not, then oh well. Sitting out in the blazing Alabama summer sun is doing wonders for my tan.
