Clearly, I needed to have a lesson on living simply. In going through the boxes and trying to condense them so we could at least carve a path to the bed I found 2 boxes of dog toys and treats, an XBOX with 8 games, and about 10,000 plastic hangers. How did these things make it to our room, and who thought we needed them to survive? I boxed all non-essentials and packed away our winter clothes. Aaron's got another load to take to storage and after that, we'll be sitting pretty. I'm glad that we are moved, but I'm still working on the "getting settled" part.

You're too funny! That's like those questions they ask kids, "If you were going on a long trip, what would you pack?" A box of plastic hangers probably didn't make it on any kid's list. :) Since it's Pioneer Day weekend, aren't you glad you didn't have to fit all of your possessions into a covered wagon or a handcart and leave what you couldn't fit behind?
