Piles of Boxes!



The reasons I hate to move:

1: There is a mess in the house up until the day you move.

2: Once something is packed, it is very difficult if it is needed before you move.

3: Caring the boxes is a pain! (literately speaking)

4: Unpacking!!!!!!!!!





This past week other than going to class, all that it seems I do is pack. I was very organized at first, but then I got really tired of packing. Oh well this does give me an opportunity to throw stuff away. We are moving, but still living in Alexandria. Saturday will be a busy day. The one thing that I have really enjoyed is the fact that since I have packed most of the cooking pan, among other things, I can't cook. So we have been having take out. I really should have thought things through better.( Yeah Right! Ha Ha)

updates:

School is sucking the life out of me right now, but as of today only 4 more days! The down side to that two of those day are days of tests!
Mikes softball team has made it to the playoffs. The tournament begins tomorrow! The down side, he wont be able to play because of the move. If the team wins on Saturday, then the tournament continues on Monday...Good Luck!
I still don't have a job. With school, I had not been seriously looking for a job. Once i am done with this class I will look for a part-time job.




Regency Ball at Gabsy Tavern In Alexandria,Va
A while back I had blogged about a ball Mike and I went to.( Mike's Anniversary gift to me, tickets to a grand ball and dance classes to go along in preparation for the ball.) I got the pictures. Due to the lack of time, it was impossible to get a costume so we just dressed up really nice.
Yeah Baby a limo! Woohoo!
Yeah actually this was my charriot to the ball! Betsy- Mikes classic
Honda Accord!

It was hot, so Mike bought me a really pretty fan!

The rule was that you were to dance with anyone who asked.

This gentleman and I dance a couple.

One of the best gifts I have ever gotten!

He hates this stuff, but knows how much I love Jane Austin books!

Mike had originally thought it was their Jane Austin ball, but it was the Regency Ball.

It was fun going to the dance classes, and learning how to dance these dances.

You're moving? Where to? Oh, that ball looks like so much fun. You look fantastic!

We saw Horace and Jamie yesterday at our ward. They were visiting. It reminded me of the Singles Ward and everyone. :)
