First Box Packed

I packed my first boxes last evening! I was having a hard time doing it alone so I invited my good friend Chelsey over to help motivate me and give me moral support. She was happy to do so, and it was really fun to pack that first box. After that box was done I had this sigh of relief, and was excited to do another. So, we packed up my books, 4 boxes in all! Not bad for the first night. I think baby steeps are good for me right now, just a little at a time.

It felt very pivotal to pack those first boxes. Somehow, it was like this big transitional moment in which I have actually begun the process of moving. It feels different then just making plans and getting rid of stuff. It's like it's really begun now. and it also felt very different from my moves in the past (I have moved 8 times in the past 9 years). In years past I would just toss things in boxes and move with ease and without much stuff. Now, I'm being more delicate with my crap and I have way more of it to move, even though I have tried to down size.

Yes, I'm glad those first few boxes are done. That's a start.

This weekend we party! One with friends and one with family :) It will be a blast.
