Packing Time and Good bye to the sectional!

My house in Barrow does not have any kitchen supplies. I have to send or bring everything with me. I am not taking all of my appliances, most are going into storage. I have sent plastic plates, bowls and cups. Today it rained, canceling all plans to sit by the pool like a good teacher during the summer. I decided to pack up the kitchen. I packed all the silverware, steak knives, cutting knives, cheese shredder, apple slicer and lots more. I put everything into a suitcase. 

This pot is for ducks and geese! 

I had to have my organizer tray. I am not paying lots of money for one when I get there. 

Today we said good bye to the GI-NORMOUS sectional couch and chaise lounge. My pal, Lisa took it for her son's room in the basement. The boys were excited to get it into the truck. I'm waiting to hear if its going to fit down the stairs, LOL. 

The boys are convinced that it will fit and took it. Hey, no returns! It's your couch now!

Blank spot where the couch used to be. I have to take my picture down and roll it up. I think that it will go into storage. The lamp is going to be taken apart and shipped to Alaska. Ikea is great for this! 

Not pictured, because I accidently deleted them, is packing up the guns to be mailed. We spoke to the postmaster and we can ship our guns, unloaded to ourselves in Alaska! Too Cool! And it frees up another suitcase. 

Tomorrow is Thursday and we have 8 days till we leave. I have to run to the Dollar Tree or Family Dollar for another shower curtain and rings. I forgot that my house has 2 bathrooms and I've only shipped 1 curtain. The second one can go into suitcases. I will also go through the baking pans and cookware and decide what needs to go to Alaska. 

I still feel sick to my stomach with nerves. I can't believe that I am really moving to Alaska!

** I received an email from my pal Lisa. She informed me that the boys worked very hard all day and eventually got the sectional down the stairs with minimal damage to the walls. They had to remove the handrail and door, but it worked! Never underestimate the hard work of two teen boys.
