Packing, packing and some more packing

Boxes, lots of boxes! We packed up most of our house now, which is a great feeling. The garage is completely full with boxes, it looks like we're pro hoarders at the moment, but it will be easier for the movers to quickly pick up the boxes, put them in the truck, and hopefully makes the whole move a bit easier and quicker. There are still a few items to pack: all our clothes and several loose items, but Nolan has tomorrow night to do some of that as well... I'm off to Renfrew for an Ontario Woodlot Council meeting.

Fertile decided to pack her own box...

And so did Murphy...

And Nolan...

And I helped as well...

We are taking Thursday and Friday off for the move, but this week is quite busy for the both of us at work as well. We sure know how to stay busy, but also happy! Oh, and we also signed up to run a half marathon Sunday morning, the Army Run here in Ottawa. Not sure how, and if, that will go.

We had a final look at the new house tonight, to make sure everything is ok, and we both felt a surge of excitement through our bodies! We realize there is quite a bit that needs to be done to make it our own, but that's mostly cosmetic. For example, it needs colour, all the walls are some cream colour, and also haven't been painted in 10 years; it still has the original light fixtures, which are absolutely hideous! Similar to the ones we all replaced in our current house, and once that was done, the difference was amazing. So we know what we can do, and will do, to make it our own. I guess we have our work cut out for us this winter, and the coming year(s)...
