Over the last several weeks I have been rescuing boxes from work that were otherwise destined for the trash compactor. It's starting to look like we're building a fort in the dining room. (Which would not be the first time this year I've built a box fort.) 
Pretty cool, right.
Greg and I are not exactly known for being minimalists, but we're looking forward to using this opportunity to clear out some of the junk that has been moving from dorm rooms to our parents' houses to apartments to other apartments. The tough part is decided where to begin. As of today we have 32 days until we close and 39 days (September 18th, which is incidentally my 27th birthday) until we can start moving things. So I want to do things methodically. I hope that happens. (I still remember helping Greg move out of his sophomore year dorm room scramblingto get everything out as they are literally locking the building doors.) In the meantime I am making lists of what we can pack now that we won't miss and can pack now (bo
oks, decorations, craft supplies) and what we can't live without and will wait until the last minute to pack (kitchen supplies, the rabbits.)
Speaking of our four four-legged children, I am so excited that they are going to have their own room soon! Thor and Valkyrie have lived in our kitchen since we moved here and during shedding seasons that's a little unappetizing to say the least. It will also be nice not to have trails of timothy hay through the apartment from carrying it to the little kids in the dining room.
Pretty cool, right. That's what you get for going out of town in my office.

Odin and Frigga, the little kids
That is pretty much where we are now. Getting ready to do the paking and fanticizing about the possibilities. I've been pouring over all our our favorite catalogs (CB2, Crate and Barrell, Ikea) and magazines. We've even made some visits to Lowes and HomeDepot to look at paint. But I'd better not get ahead of myself, the apartment won't pack itself.
