Packing it all up

So it seems like it was only a little while ago that we moved in here. It's amazing how much actual stuff we amassed over the last two years (almost). We started packing on the 10th, and it is now the 15th. We're on the last 10 or so percent. Why is it that the first 30 percent goes by quickly, then the next 40 percent just requires elbow grease, but that last 30 percent takes forever? You would think that it would be easy to just keep on trucking. Our issues so far seem to stem from the fact that we still need a couple of items until we leave. Like the computer. And various documents that we are trying to scan, but we're not sure what will be important to have

during the next year or so.

Argh! Now I remember why last time, I swore that I would never move again. But after this, we have to settle into China, and then probably move again when we get back. Here is a picture of our progress from a couple days ago.

Here is a picture of our giant fort of stuff. I couldn't get any wider-angled as I ran into the wall at that point. Monday is the big day when we try to move that mountain...
