boxes, boxes and boxes... Picture heavy

14 years ago

Took me "only" 9 times up and down the three floors via stairs to fill up my car.

Here is the line up, after two boxes were already in the car:

car fully loaded:

and now, all my stuff from my storage unit is in my house... It looks like I have way to much stuff! But can't wait to get it all out in the open. Sure was WAY FASTER than it took my daughter and me to fill that storage unit. :)

the second bedroom is really just a box room :)

I opened a few.. hung my shower curtain, and went out and dug weeds in the flower bed before it got dark.

Oh, lets not forget, I bought a new fridge. The other one is 1/3 of an inch to wide to go in here. Fridge will be delivered on Wednesday.

I need a shower.. blow up the air bed, and go to bed. Work is at 6:00 AM in the morning.

I'm tired just looking at that,i hate the job of moving,and we moved a lot,as dh was a career marine.One time we moved 3 times in 1 year.Thank goodness most of the time moving companies moved us and set it up at the new place,but it was still hard with toddlers underfoot.

Take your time,and enjoy the process,since it will be your homenow.

Purslane. It's a common contaminant in soil. Edible as a vegetable if you're so inclined.

The box is labeled, Montgomery Ward. That was a mail order catalog company competing with Sears and Roebuck. The reference link shows jewelry boxes similar to yours. There are 5 boxes - move your mouse pointer over the strip at the bottom of the illustration to make the others appear Here is a link that might be useful: Mele Krista Girl's Musical Ballerina Jewelry Box with Fashion Paper Overlay

Beautiful sewing box, especially since it is a family treausre. When you look for a recipe and cook, do you sometimes think of your DH's Grandmother and wonder what she might have been sewing or maybe mending? I think it holds many wonderful memories from his Grandmother's time. Sal

Yes, ever since oldest headed off to college, I have been a box saver, and DH is even worse. She would need something mailed, and so if I had a box on hand, I could mail it right away. A special dress for a dance, her baseball glove, her costume for a party, etc. Kept that up through the next 2 in college, graduate school, and law school. I mail them a baked cake for their birthdays when they are in school, and that has to be a very special size, so sometimes I have to BUY that box. I hate spending good money for boxes, so I save them. With the last one finishing school this spring, the habit is no longer necessary, but it is ingrained, especially with DH. I have been known to supply boxes to friends who are moving!!!

You are a great organizer! Everything was packed so neatly. Did you do all the heavy lifting by your self?

I had to smile when I read that you went out to dig weeds in the flower bed. A good way to take a break.

You are going to love your new life.

I only moved stuff from my apartment. The GREAT bulk of boxes came from storage, where my daughter and I put it all, but movers brought it here.

Looking at your new home pictures made me envious of the style, the floors, the built-ins, just all of it! Even without furnishings it looks comfy :)
I hope you enjoy setting up your space and really enjoy that feeling of ALL MINE, ALL MINE!!!

Moni I missed the part where you got a house but I am so happy for you and the moving memory goes away fast when you get settled in your new place.

I thought of you this week as we had a couple of bikers as neighbors in the park where we stayed. They were on a tandem and pitched a tent behind us. They were from North Carolina and had flown down to Florida and were coming up and across the country before heading back home. I was going to ask if by chance they might know you and then I realized that I didn't even know your real name so I just asked if they had any biker buddies from OK or Edmond, OK and they said no so it didn't matter about the name....but I sure did think of you when I saw their set up since I read you blog when you were traveling....

That's a lot of boxes, Moni. Good thing you have all that storage in your new home. I should save those pictures for the next time I get the itch to move. Sure would make me think twice :-)

Have fun unpacking all the stuff you haven't seen since it's been in storage!!

Hi Ruthie

Who knows, they might of heard of me.... as in Moni... I never use my last name in the biking community. Just Moni... LOL, kind of like Cher. :)

I am on 3 different biking forums. Thanks for thinking of me.

How exciting is that!?! You're moving into your new home!

Congratulations! I know you must be happy. There's just nothing like having a home of your own.

We've been in our place for seven months today, and every day I wake up and thank God for getting us into this beautiful (little) house! :)

Now please post more photos of the HOUSE!!!
