The apartment is covered in boxes full of our crap. That can only mean one thing – WE’RE MOVING, PEOPLE!

Finally, your girl gets a house. A guest bedroom! A kitchen with appliances that don’t make gurgling noises throughout the night! More than one bathroom! (Marriage is tough enough I cannot share a toilet any longer)

Moving is heinous, though. I feel so bad for Garrett because I keep getting distracted. Like, I was packing some books & I picked one up that I forgot how much I adored. He comes in the room 10 minutes later & I’m huddled in the corner reading & biting my nails hoping I blend in with the wall & he doesn’t see me.

I also keep getting “hungry” & having to take snack breaks.

“I need a snack – I’ll make pasta!”

“Are you hungry? I’ll make pork chops!”

“No you don’t understand – I will certainly die if I don’t have frozen yogurt this instant!”

He’s just so much more efficient at packing than I am – why not focus on our strengths?
