Packing at the Patton household is still going slow. I have received my dishpacks and another set of boxes, only to find that they are MUCH cheaper at Costco! Knowing that I did not buy enough initially (I have lofty goals of packing quickly and only purchasing boxes as needed), I did invest in another pack at Costco -- I may actually have enough to complete this move! I was disappointed with my dishpacks... no dividers for my stemware. However, we did find another solution (yes, at Costco, again); we are picking up wine crates from Costco and using those as stemware containers (which will subsequently go into the dishpacks. We are still in need of AT LEAST 3 more wine crates -- keep buying that wine, mum! Thus far, I have packed our crystal flutes, and all of my china (that is not saying much -- I have yet to complete my china set) -- best to start early with things that we do not use often. Next, I am going to get working on books and winter clothing -- I just need some more packing tape first (yes, my packing set from Costco did contain these, that box was heavy, however, and it is still sitting in the back of our car!
In other news, we are enjoying not having classes/work (okay, I am still teaching at Kaplan, but 2.5 hours/week is not taxing)! We have been able to take a couple of trips (which I posted about earlier), enjoy visits from out of town guests (mum's friend Beverly, who was like a second mother to me growing up, was in town for about 10 days), hang out with old friends, attend our awesome small group more regularly, be more diligent about going to the gym and just generally get more quality time together. Tonight, we are going to hang out with Henry (one of Jordan's oldest friends) and his wife, Dana for the 4th. They are a really great couple, and only wish that we could spend more time with them! Why do we have to work? This is the perfect life... except for the looming move!!!
