We had to pack. It sucked. Our living room looked like this (and worse) for a month:
We had to wedge this couch down our windy stairs. It's my couch from college and lived in the cat room for the past 4 years (so you can imagine the endless amounts of cat hairs). Josh had to take a door off the hinges and I fell down a bunch of times. The cats are really angry that we stole their couch.
Josh didn't start packing until the night before we were to load our things. In fact, he took a nice, long Sunday nap:
On Monday we loaded up a U-haul in order to transport our things to a relo-cube. Apparently they would have dropped the cube off at our house and then picked it up again... for $800. So we did it ourselves.
The thing is, when we got to the shipping yard and saw the cube, I was absolutely certain there was no way we could fit all of our (my) things. We had to put the couch on its end and by the time we got the couch and the bed in there, it didn't seem like there would be enough room!
Josh claims that it is his superior Tetris skills that made the packing possible, but my consolidation skills were also at play.
This might be our last post for a bit, just until we get settled in Grand Forks (yikes!), but we have a whole action-packing, fun-filled drive planned that includes: temple #48, Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse monument, staying overnight in the city of Deadwood, and Devil's Tower. Plus 5 days in the car with a very cranky cat!

Wow! Nice packing skills people! Have a safe ride. I'll be looking forward to your posts about your new adventures...
We just did that. We used ABF, but had them drop it off at our house this time. We stopped by Devil's tower and Mt. Rushmore on our way to MN. Good luck and have a good trip!
