Hi Friends. The time is nigh. We embark on our great adventure one week from tomorrow. So what, you may ask, are we doing to prepare? Well "we" aren't doing anything. Jim is. I will now detail for you the ways in which I have avoided moving and/or packing for the last three moves.
Hingham - Brighton: August 2007
This was the first time I ever moved out of my house (aside from college). My mom hired a moving van. I wasn't even there when they delivered everything. So easy.
Brighton - Beacon Hill: August 2008
We hired movers again. I went to the Cape and relaxed while Lorna and Jessie packed.
Beacon Hill - Hingham/Deep River: July 2009
This one is my favorite. I went to pick up the U-Haul in Cambridge and it took about 3 hours to wait in line. By the time I got back, Lorna, Jessie, and Jim had packed everything and brought most of it down the stairs. Yes, it was a pain to stand at U-Haul for all that time, but in the end, I think I got the better end of the deal.
Now, I sit at work while Jim slaves away at home packing boxes of dishes and cookware. Sure, I'll have to throw all my clothes in some luggage at some point, but by the grace of God I've once again escaped the painful process of packing.
This trip looks like its shapping up to be a combination of 'Natural Born Killers' and 'The Chase'
