We're Moving!

February 1st is our official move in date. We're only moving about 2 blocks down the street to a 2 bedroom from our 1 bedroom. The 2nd bedroom will serve as an office and home to a new treadmill. We're also going to try to squeeze in my scrapbooking stuff. If this all fits we will be able to reclaim our living room. Probably the most exciting, delicious detail is that we will have a DISHWASHER!!!!! We had one in our house in Knoxville and I've missed it so. Sometimes when I think about my new one I do a happy, happy dishwasher song and dance. I'm sorry but this dance will NEVER be made public.

I can't wait til the moving part is over. I'm FREAKING out about packing and moving. I've been freaking for weeks even though Jason has kindly asked me to reserve it for the last few days if necessary because freaking out is sooooo helpful in stressful situations. I just see a potential for chaos and I do not know how to not freak out. It's what I do. I don't like it and I don't know how to control it so I predict more freaking in the future.

I think the part that stresses me the most is that I feel like I want to organize everything before we move so that I don't just move my mess to a new location. I'm overwhelmed by it and don't know where to put stuff which is why it's disorganized in the first place!

We have taken 3 carloads to Goodwill! Why did I have all this junk? Some of the stuff I moved up here from Knoxville and haven't touched it since! Every time I find an item I can part with, a delightful shiver goes through me. Why did I think I needed that!? See ya later ya piece of junk! Get OUT of my house! WOOHOO!

Deep down I know we have plenty of volunteer movers and packers and cleaners and it WILL get done, one way or another and I WILL survive it. 16 days and counting.....
