There is one constant in packing - the more you pack, the more you have left to pack! I think stuff seems to multiply itself. Weird how that works!
Still, progress is being made. Most of my scrapbook stuff is boxed or secured in its current container. The couch has been relegated to a sad spot on the patio, awaited a trip to the dump, because even though it still looks okay, the springs are completely shot. There is no hope, and Jeff doesn't want to move it. The kitchen is almost done, except for those few dishes that I simply must leave available. Even Braeden's room is mostly packed, although none of the boxes are sealed because we keep finding things to go in them...
What a chore this is, and yet I can't help thinking how blessed I am to have a houseful of things that I don't really need. I have been graciously allowed a lot of things that let me express my creativity, and for that I am so thankful. Sure, it's a pain to deal with dusty old boxes (and the sneezing that inevitably results), but each time I seal a box, I have to smile and say a quick prayer of thanks for my many, many, many material blessings.

uggh... It does seem that way with boxes and things... we are doing our yardsale this weekend and have been going through boxes too... and you are right, boxes and things are worse than rabbits... they just multiply before your eyes! Unreal!
You are so right though, it does wake one up to the blessings we have been so richly given, knowing what other people do not have... I will never forget getting our money together to buy Willies girls clothes and brushes, etc... Makes you realize how blessed you are!
