I can't believe we are moving.....AGAIN!

I feel like we just got here! We haven't even had time to visit every place we intended...and yet, the time has come to pack, pile, sort, plan and move! Moving to Germany makes things extra intense and requires an immense amount of planning, sorting and purging. For instance, we actually will have 3 separate moves. On Monday the 14th the movers will be coming to take anything that we want to go into storage (which is actually quite a bit of stuff), on the 15th household goods packers will be here as well as unaccompanied baggage. Unaccompanied baggage is any necessities that we will need immediately when we arrive in Germany (because it takes 60 days for our stuff to ship to Germany). The unaccompanied baggage is flown there and in there I will put winter clothes that we will need once we get there, sheets, towels and a few cooking supplies. Finally, on the 16th the household goods movers come to take our household goods away.

Now, if you have been counting thats 3 separate piles not to include the 4th pile, which is items we will need for the journey to Georgia/Texas/Georgia again. I have piles coming out of every corner of the house("No, Andrew don't put that there, that's the Goodwill pile....no, not there either, thats the 'to sale' pile"). As you can see it is requiring a great deal of coordination not to mention the logistics of cleaning and maintenancing my car to take to the port to be shipped...oh, and my final week of grad school! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
