Space Bags.


Well I'm moving. To California. And I have to take everything the Navy didn't take in my Rav-4 in order to get paid for my drive across the country.

Listen. My mom called me a hoarder. Nick said I probably could get rid of 50% of my wardrobe and still be able to clothe a small African nation. They're right. They are both right. My solution? Space bags! You know, those bags that suck all the air out and then you get lots more room. Well, I don't know how those people get their clothes folded so neatly to the point where the bag lays flat- Here, enjoy my stellar space bag results.

My clothes are going to be straight wrinkled when I get to SD. Also, you could knock a person out with the pure density of these clothes.

This is only 80% of my stuff. Do you think the Rav-4 can handle it? I totally underestimated the amount of CRAP that I have. Jesus may have to pull a miracle on this one. Seriously.

Oh, and I am really going to miss her.

And I had to say goodbye to her today too. :(

But on the UP side I get to go on a road trip with her.

Oh, and be married to HIM again. Which will be totally worth it.

It will be worth not having to do this anymore.


Navy Wife Boot Camp Phase One Complete! (In my mind the completion of phase one is having to leave everything and everyone you know to follow your husband)

Go NAVY!!! Glad you get to meet up with your guy again and be married. Space bags, what a great invention! Not to sure about how much ironing you will have to do! I am praying for a safe journey.
