The Moving List

I'm such a fool and forgot about putting this on the list, and now that's it's getting closer we pretty much have done and crossed off anything that I wanted to put on. Just for remembrance sake, I'm going to write it out anyway.

Without further ado,

# 84- Make & Complete List of Things To Do For PA Move

Book Movers

Big Man did that this past Tuesday and they're set and ready to come and drop the trailer off for us to load on the 19th. I've been saying that it's finally getting real now but I think once they take my stuff and I know I won't see it again till I hit Pennsylvania it will feel WAY more real. 

Declutter House and Closet

You'll remember awhile ago after we got back in the house after the fire that I went organizing crazy on my closet and got rid of a couple bags of clothes and belts, that I gave to Goodwill. After I did that it left pretty much only my must have clothes and some clothes that I'm taking home to my sister. This past week though, after we booked the mover me and Big Man got excited and started going through the house and organizing, trashing and packing the rest of the house. 

Pack

Like I said above, after we booked the movers we got so excited we practically packed the whole house that day. Big Man finally went through the bullshit plastic bin where he stores 'his important papers' and not surprisingly got rid of two garbage bags full papers and junk that he had thrown in there. While he was doing that I got all my makeup, hygiene, linen closet, Halloween/Easter decorations, and regular closet decluttered, organized and packed. Can you believe that I got everything besides my shoes, 4 sweatshirts and my puffy marshmallow jacket packed into this suitcase....(minus the Mia)

I packed like it was my job and was able to fit everything in there and after bouncing on it a couple times I was able to zip it all up. Thank goodness I own mostly tee shirts, otherwise it would have been impossible. In the little green suitcase behind it to the right is where my shoes are packed. The only things left are the things that are going to come with us in the car.

Make A Resume/Start Job Search

This is one of the few things I don't have done and is also another goal on my 101 list. I hope to get the resume done today and send it to my sister so she can help me search.

Organize Important Papers

This was especially important to make sure we had everything that we would need for the future and have it all in one central safe space. Mia got her shots and vaccinations last month so all of her information is in the file along with our car, banking, insurance, and tax information. Before it was scattered about in separate folders but now it is all in one central accordion file. That will go in the car with us for safe keeping. 

Get and Print Directions

Big Man has a GPS but I don't trust those things..."recalculating route, recalculating route..."...so I will take it upon my self to print directions up and a list of pet friendly hotels just for a Plan B. Big Man would like to just switch on and off for the drive up there and just get up there ASAP but we'll see what happens and just in case we want to stop, I will have the information.

I think that this pretty much covers most of it. 

Any tips or suggestions for the move?!?
