The PCS Diary: Part One

The Packing Experience:

 

I am not going to lie, I was completely scared when I got the text from Christopher. Talk about a wake up call, we had predicted to be leaving at the end of July but all of a sudden we were leaving in two weeks.

The first thing I did after the panic attack was get online and see what other wives had done. I am amazed at how little I found. That only made me panic more. I can see why. I am having a hard time to write about. I guess I should start at the beginning. I hate packing! Christopher and I came to a collective decision to pack room by room. (that is not what happened).

I do not think that there is a best way to pack your own things, especially when its a last minute move but all I can do is share what I did and hope it can shed a little light on the very boring situation.

Kitchen, closets, Living room, bedrooms, bathroom. That is how we packed. When the truck can to the house we did couch bed then small furniture and boxes.

That is all I have to say about. Good luck to anyone starting to pack.

*** I have Found a good set of check lists that can help make a move go smoother.
