Moving Day

Today is moving day, and I am going to miss this ol' house. 

So many changes and memories made here that it feels as though we have lived here much longer than just two years.


Memories we'll take

• Roasting marshmallows over our fire pit on the back patio almost every night in the summer
•  Nicholas turning the big 3-0
• Rachel and I learning to make cake-pops, past midnight, in a delirious state
• Susan teaching me to sew at the kitchen table- my first project: Hadley's crib bedding
• Nick and I learning about our pregnancy, baby, and birth in the comfort of our living room where our Bradley teacher, Twylla, was so kind to meet us {for 12 straight weeks}
• Feeling our baby's first kick, sitting on the couch in the living room in the middle of a sunny day
• Bringing home our Hadley for the first time, Mom there to greet us with Nick's favorite dinner, and the following days of being pampered and waited on by two fabulous  sister-in-laws
• Hadley's first smile- holding her while sitting at the kitchen table
• All of her baby landmarks- crawling, solid foods, walking, running, etc. in this home
• Our first Christmas as parents {every holiday for that matter}

Our second night home

We are excited for what lies ahead, but this home with always hold a special place in our hearts. Its full of warm, loving memories.


Reminiscing,
Kaylee

Moving

We're moving! Again. But this time for good!


After years of leasing we are finally purchasing our first {together} home. :)))
{More about that later}


We. Are. Moving.


NEXT WEEK!


And I have just started packing.


It's slow going over here since the Baby and I have caught colds.
So our current materials lists consists of:

• Moving Boxes
• Purging Boxes - for items to Goodwill
• Packing tape & Large Sharpie
• Pen, Paper, & Brightly colored labels 
• HUGE box of Kleenex
• Ricola Cough Drops {Honey Herb of course}
• And an abundant supply of hot tea

I am striving for some solid organization in the packing process... but my head is feeling a bit fuzzy. 

Thank goodness for Emilie Barnes! {Survival For Busy Women} Using her system, every box has a number with a corresponding index card {I'm just using a notebook} listing its contents . I now know where every item is located without having to dig through boxes- I just flip through my handy-dandy list. 

Each box is also color-coded with bright stickers to easily and at-glance indicate which room it belongs to. Example: Blue- Office; Yellow- Kitchen; Orange- Family Room, etc. 

Simple Brilliance. 

Do you have any moving/packing tips to share? I am all ears! Allow me glean from your pearls of moving wisdom! 

Happy Wednesday,

Kaylee
