Progress.

I'm in between quarters at school, so I have the entire week off! (Minus having to go to work 3 days this week... but still!... no school for a week!) And I started thinking about how long it was until we have to move. So I sat down with a calender and scoped things out. After my figuring was done I was feeling pretty good, since we move in 1 month. 1 month is a lot of time and plenty to pack things up and get everything together. But then, instead of saying that we have 1 month, I started saying we have 31 days. 31 DAYS!? I almost fell off the chair when I realized that we are moving in 31 days.

So I tried to calm myself and realized that I was being silly... saying "1 month is the same as 31 days you idiot," was what finally calmed me down. But then I realized that during that 31 days there is so much else going on! So I made a list (really shouldn't have done this... it just freaked me out more.)

31 days (eek!) to get the following done:

• Pack (the entire house, levi's tools, all furniture, EVERYTHING!)
• Train new managers @ the apartments
• Clean out the office (seriously... it was scary!)
  
• Get MOR inspection going @ the apartments
• 3 annual reviews scheduled/completed
  
• Start a new quarter
• Get externship organized and figured out
• Get registered for graduation
• Levi's graduation!
• Get dozens of Wordie Block orders done
  
• Find a storage unit in Kanab for all our said packed crap!
• Train new replacement at work
• Organized packed crap into what is going to Jamie's w/ me and what is going to Kanab w/ Levi.
• Keep up on homework while all this is going on
• Keep my sanity while all this is going on

Needless to say... the list didn't help much. But after a slight panic attack (which I resolved with several cupcakes and a bag of Easter candy) I decided to bite the bullet and get going on this stuff! So with the help of the hubster, we tackled both the office and the guest room in one weekend! (As well as finish up some repairs on a house for a friend... more on that later.) After our weekend-o-cleaning I feel so much better about some of this stuff! We got the office cleaned out, as well as the guest room packed and organized.

If any of you have seen our guest room recently you know what progress this is! We took the spare queen bed (i.e. my bed for the months of May and June) to Jamie's a while back to give us some more room to work. Most of the stuff in that room is wedding stuff. Yes... wedding stuff. Levi and I decided when we first opened all our wedding presents that we weren't going to open and use the kitchen stuff. We both had been on our own for a while and had all the bare necessities... so we stored all the brand new pots/pans/dishes/glasses/small appliances/silverware so that when we moved we could get rid of all our old stuff and just move the new stuff to the new place and be set! (Much easier to move right?)

Well here are the after pictures of that room. (I should have taken before pictures... but they would give my mother a heart attack... seriously. Messy doesn't even begin to describe it. I couldn't even open the door all the way. Think... hoarders... but on a slightly smaller scale) Here are the AFTER pictures though: (which are my favorite anyways!)

It's a small step... but hey... it's progress!
