Moving has been an adventure and I'm really excited for all the fun new things we've been doing and will be doing in the near future. But I'll be honest, it has also been pretty tiring and emotionally difficult and I'm glad we've only moved once since Ryan and I have been married.
This is the moving truck with all our stuff in it. That door is open to one of the crates, and we had four. We had 180 boxes. I don't know how we fit 180 boxes worth of stuff in our apartment.
It was like Christmas getting to open the boxes and find out what was inside.
What could this one be? It's so big. Maybe a cheese grater? A food processor I didn't know I had?
Oh, it's just a cup. Maybe the next one will be better?
Nope, just another cup. Man this is taking forever.
Look at that huge pile of packing material. I think at this point I had only unpacked like 4 cups.
This one is my favorite. A before and after. No joke, this is the same thing just wrapped up.
Now I think I know why there were 180 boxes when we had probably 50 boxes worth of stuff.
Phew, one box down, only 179 left to go. The packing material barely fits back in the box it came in.
We decided to flatten the packing material so it takes up less space. This is the pile we have in our family room right now with 98% of the boxes unpacked. That's a lot of paper.
Lucas thinks it makes a good bed.

I saved a lot of the flatter pieces of packing paper and we use it for drawing paper.
HAHA! I love how huge that cup was before it was unwrapped. They REALLY did not want anything to break.
Haha, and the funny thing is, the packing material probably cost more than the cups they were wrapping, if you're like us! :)
Oh the joy of unpacking boxes. I always laugh about how much paper the packers use when they are packing things. That is a really huge pile Lucas is laying on!
God job on figuring out that the paper takes up a lot less space when it is smoothed out flat. We did the same thing and then I saved over half of paper and boxes flattened out for when we pack up when we move again in a few months.
