No matter what I do, no matter what I say, no matter how much I beg- this house won't pack itself.
Why does it need to be packed you ask?
WE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE!!!! When we first moved to the Houston area (a year ago), we rented because we didn't really know each neighborhood or really even where the grocery store was. But, now that we're officially kind of Houstonians (Houstonians with Okie Charm), we decided it was time to stop wasting our money on rent and go ahead and buy down here.
So, as I sit here wasting time, we close on our new home in less than 7 days. I haven't packed a thing. Nothing, nada, zilch. In fact, I've become so desperate that I have tricked Jake into thinking that cleaning out drawers in the coffee table is a game. We call it the 'trash it or keep it' game. Please don't tell my child that his new favorite game is just a ploy to get this house ready to get packed up.
And, by the way, if you happen to be in the Houston area, I'll feed you if you pack for me. Sound good?

Oh congratulations and good luck! You have your extra pair of hands to help, right? :)
Oh Heather I would totally go over and help you pack if we lived in the same city. I actually enjoy packing, I've moved so many times that I think I'm a pro! So excited to hear your great news congrats to all of you!
Wow! What great news! I am so happy for you. Since I am in Kentucky, I don't think packing is an option, but I can mail you some motrin for your sore backs? Good luck!!!
