283

I think the hardest part of moving might be the moment when the last box is packed.  It brings finality to the life that we’ve lived.  The home that we’ve made isn’t there, it’s all in boxes.  It doesn’t matter that what apprehensions and fears there might be, it’s final, all the stuff is boxed awaiting the truck.

Every moment after that last box is adventure.

and work, lots and lots of work.  283 boxes of things to unpack.

The best part of a move is when the last box is unpacked.  The champagne and sparkling cider bottles are opened.  It’s such a feeling of relief and elation.  Then the movers come to take the boxes away.  Officially, we can stop unpacking and start creating our new home.
