But in case you were worried we would never start to pack, we have now. Better late than never though right???
Wednesday we did the whole storage room. I will be honest, I thought it would take us forever to clean out the storage room, aka the room Paige tosses random things into. But that whole mess of a room only took from 3:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. How you ask???....a lot of hardwork. And my no bake cookies to lighten the mood.:)
I am now just getting the "you are actually moving" vibes. Also the "you won't know anyone" "you are going to a new school" "you are leaving you home that you have lived in most of your childhood".......
But I still am excited. A new home that is brand new. Five minutes away from Jeff and Jordan...woot woot. :) ( Jordan and Jeff you got your very own shout out.) :)
Yes it has taken me this long to start feeling nervous. Now that all my stuff is packed up and in just 4 days will be packed away.:(
I have learned something however.....packing is bittersweet. Even though I am excited to move I am now for reals leaving Malta behind. Okay I also learned that I need to keep my drawers more organized so it makes packing much easier. Like Hailey.
I had a few smiles and laughs....and aww moments as I packed. Okay, Okay, and a few "Why is this in here?"...or "OHHH this is where it went.." I also found some good things I thought I would share with you.
My mom's old pictures. She was the cutest little first grader ever. And she went on a couple of dates with Greg Harman. Ha
My mom's second grade report card. I will just put it this way......we didn't get our mathematical brains from her. Well maybe Bryce and Marissa. And maybe Natalie. You can decide for yourself if that is a good thing.
My "get well" note from a certain kid.....hahha.....I have been looking for it for the past few months. Every time I read it I laugh.
Two letters I never sent.....( sorry Rylee..)
My school journal from kindergarten. I apparently got my d's mixed up with b's.
One time I wrote, "I like my blanket because it smells goob." Some things never change. ( I am still always expressing how good my blanket smells.)
Notes from sixth grade written by Rylee....and creepy pictures of eyes...( rylee cough cough)
My four journals all of wich I wrote in the first 10 pages and no more. Lets just say journal writing isn't my thing.
Even though packing up really isn't fun at all.....you can tell that I had a few good reminders of the past.......... I just can't wait until we are done!!!!
Random fact about Risa Diva:
She likes to decorate with baskets.
Wich means she has way too many.
Little baskets, big baskets, short, fat, skinny baskets. Yes all the baskets you can imagine.
