So...this weekend, we managed to:

a) Build a pantry (since we are missing one, are used to one, and have little to no cabinet space in our new kitchen)
b) Build a living room closet (since it was this wide open space and we needed the storage for extra computer equipment, linens, and the like
c) add a few shelves to Keith's closet (because its so large with wasted space, why not)
d) pack up and move about half of our kitchen stuff
e) pack up the rest of the kitchen stuff

Keith and I, all in all, think its an estimated large van load, or 3 truck & car loads. The Jacobsens are going to help us out a bit on Tuesday because we need it!

We are sort of in the midst of the last painful, clumsy things to move like artwork and vases and knick knacks that I am soooo worried I am going to break. Its pretty amazing given the cramped quarters we've always lived in (relatively speaking) how much stuff we have. Its a true testament to how good I am at tucking things away and organizing them to make the most out of the space.

All in all, I really, really hope we can get that china cabinet up. We need the kitchen storage.
