Step 1 - Getting ready to pack!!

I never realize how much stuff we have until we move. And when faced with fitting things into a 150 cubic feet container, it seems like we have a LOT of stuff!

We decided we'd have a yard sale, so I took off work on a Friday and we had a 2-day yard sale extravaganza.

Here's the "Before" picture. I had to wait until it was bright enough to take the picture, so we actually started with more stuff than this. One crazy person showed up at 6:10!

Our yard sale was a HUGE success!!! We sold most of our stuff on Friday, so on Saturday, our "After" looked like this:
After!
We got rid of even more stuff after this, thanks in part to some friends coming by to keep us company!

Nicole & Jacob helped us get rid of stuff

 We're also storing some of the things we're not taking with us. So to plan out getting everything into their appropriate areas, we used tape to map off areas of our guest bedroom so we could make sure everything fits.

It's hard to believe that we've gotten rid of so many things since we moved from Lexington and we still have this much stuff!!!

    Love the tape! That reminds me of those shows where they make hoarders (or just people with a lot of stuff) separate their stuff so they can get organized.
