So much room for activities!

The moving process has begun! The movers come in just over a week and I've been prepping and getting the house ready. When moving from overseas back to the states, we have two separate moves (as opposed to three when moving from the states to Japan). Our first one is about 3 weeks before our departure and then second is just a day or two before.

The first shipment is our Household Goods (HHG) which will include all of our furniture, beds and the majority of everything else. The second is our Unaccompanied Baggage (UB) and is limited to 800 pounds and will include essentials we need for the 3 weeks, most of our clothes, etc. The Navy will loan us "stick furniture" for the 3 weeks so that we can stay in our house. Our things should all arrive during the first week of December. Yes, it takes 2 months for our HHG to arrive in Virginia!

My world is now consumed with blue tape (UB things) and non-blue tape (everything else). In order to help organize these things and separate them for the ease of the movers sake, I am clearing out one room so that it only contains UB things. So the bed had to go to the other room!

"We'll have so much more room for activities!" Anyone? Name that movie?

 The blue tape continues and after the movers come, the painting and cleaning starts!
