Moving Along...

I feel like the tortoise in the tortoise and the hare story. I know eventually I will win this so called race, but I so want to be going fast right now!

I'm moving. Again. Fourth time in the last year and a half! Fifth in the last two years!

I can honestly say I enjoy moving. I LOVE rearranging things and opening my boxes and unpacking and finding new treasures that were once old that I forgot about!

But this is probably the worst move yet!

I'm heading home to the 'rents house and saving money that way and just being smarter with everything before Trevor and I officially take the plunge and two become one! :D I'm gonna crack down on my spending habit and try to budget everything with cash as much as possible...not even use my check card or checkbook. That way I can literally see and touch how much I can spend.

SO! As for the moving bit, I've been on my own for over a year now and I have enough to live off of and then some! I have a whole kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom and misc area! How am I supposed to move that all into one little bedroom at my parents' house?!?

I'm dropping my beautiful, comfy sectional couch at my brother and sister-in-law's place this weekend in Mankato. Hopefully that will be nice for them! That leaves everything else!

Well last night I got some boxes out and started packing. First, I washed all the dishes left over because my roommate and I lead VERY busy lives and don't get to them right away always. Then I cleaned out the fridge and did some more dishes. Then I packed up a butt load of my stuff from the kitchen! I'm almost done in that room now (which makes me proud).

I loaded up the boxes into the mom-mobile and headed over to Trevor's apartment. I figured since I'll probably be doing some cooking over at his place the next year or so, why not stock him up on all the kitchen necessities? Plus, it's less to move when we do get married!

When I got to his place my head started to ache! Yesterday I wrote about our amazing romantic dinner. Well, I was going to do the dishes before he came home as much as I could, but there was no hot water! So we left them and decided to enjoy each other's company.

That means they were there when I got there to move my kitchen in... FUN!

Well, I rolled up my pant legs into Capri's (it was really warm in his place) and I got my already pruned fingers to work again in the soapy water. 2 hours later I was fully unpacked, organized and cleaned up in that kitchen! I was pretty darn proud of myself!

Then I remembered that I like to randomly buy cards when I'm at wal-mart that make me think of Trevor and my relationship. So I wrote out a card to express how much he means to me!

I taped it on the door frame of the kitchen and locked up and headed out.

Home at last at 11:00pm, I rewarded my hard work and pruney hands with a snickers ice cream cone and crawled into bed.

A little after midnight I got a text from the man of my dreams... "I love you so much honey"

I was glad I could do something for my Wah Wah that would show him a little how much I appreciate all he does and all he is for me!

All the while, I got one part of my moving done...

So after work and "hiding in my shell" today, I'll start back up on the cleaning and packing of my room tonight...maybe.

Trevor's off work tonight! :D
