Packing....packing....and more packing.

If my teaching career turns out to be a failure I know that I can fall back onto my Plan B: a professional packer. For the past 4 years I have packed to move up to college and then back home about 8 times. Sometimes I have had 2 cars to load up my cargo and other times I have only had mine. This has given me some experience in the moving/packing industry!

I remember moving home freshman year and helping pack up other cars. I had to help a friend pack up all of her belongings into her one regular sized car. (Remember that Suzanne??) She lived about 5 hours away so there was no chance of her making 2 trips. We spent a while outside trying to organize everything so it would fit. "Here is a spot! What can we shove in there?" We did get everything to fit but we were pretty sure she could only see out the front of the car and it was probably illegal!

Once again I find myself packing but this will be the last time for a while. I have so much stuff....I don't know where to begin sometimes!


Want to know the worst part? This isn't even clothes or items I use daily. This is all stuff that could be stored! And this is about an 1/4th of what I have to bring home. Sorry Dad!


But one good thing that has come out of this experience is that I know I can live in a tight space even with all the junk I have acquired over the years! Good thing I chose a job field that will allow me to live in a cheap, tiny apartment. :)

So if you are ever in need of a packer, or someone to help you cram everything into even the tiniest of spots, just give me a call! Suzanne can be my reference. Have a great day!


Random Fact:
In 1965, the Dow Chemical Company introduced the packing peanuts you see today. They are typically shaped like an S, a peanut or a half dome.
This looks like fun!
