Packing, Replanting & Organizing OH MY!

Moving day is this week and I'm getting soooo excited! We signed our lease today and Jon faxed all our info to the new landlord while I spent this afternoon replanting my leafy friends into larger and more move-safe pots. My avocado trees are still small babies so I'm worried about them, but I think my small trees, succulents and tropical plants should be alright. I hope they will be at least!

Although its kind of crazy living in this cramped little city of boxes, it's nice getting everything packed and organized. I just have my kitchen and closet to tackle before Wednesday when the truck will be here so I actually feel like it's real for once. I'm sure it'll feel more than real once we have to drive that huge moving truck all the way across the country :/

Road Trip!



Next Wednesday/Thursday we pack up everything we own in a moving truck, hook the car to the back and make our way, Oregon Trail-like, across the country. It's been several nerve wracking months in the making but we finally have a home to go to and we've scaled down enough to make this move tolerable. We'll need a serious trip to Ikea and the area thrift stores once we make it but this is finally doable. I plan on shooting the entire trip, taking video and keeping a journal so I'll add more to this as we go/once we get there.

I can't describe how excited I am to move to this beautiful city, but I'd be lying if I said I won't miss Atlanta. A fun town with some super-fun people plus it's growing beautifully. Can't wait to visit in the future to see it continue to progress, but I definitely feel Seattle will bring more to my life in the next few years!
