Packing Progress

I love to see progress when I am working on a project. It shows me how far I have come from where I started. Today, I looked into the spare room that we are storing boxes in and I love to finally start seeing the bigger picture of it all. I have not taken down the curtains and stuff, but that will come tommorrow and then the house will really look bare. This house already does not feel like HOME.... it is filled with memories, but the things we have collected as a family over time are now in boxes. Below is a picture I took today of the spare room and all that I have packed so far. (I must throw this in that I am doing the majority of the packing all by myself.)

My husband's job just does not allow for alot of time to help so I am trying to do everything I can on my own. I love to see the smile on DJ's face when he walks in and sees everything I have done. I spent many years of my marriage depending on my husband to help me with everything and when he did not or was unable, I felt resentful. It is a blessing that I have changed my mentality that I need my husband to do everything with me for me to do it succesfully.

So, this post may not mean much to most, but it means alot to me... I wish I had more to post, but packing and moving has pretty much consumed my mind these days!

(but in other news, my wonderful husband bought me a new car this week. I will post a picture if I ever get my camera back!)
