We own way to much stuff lol. Vacuum bags are a life saver!
We gave away quite a bit of stuff we can live without. Although giving away the back up kitchen aid mixer almost killed dw.

I can see why she would have hated to do that. But, she still has one, right? Those things are indestructible IMO, so... it should last long enough for her to give it to one of your kids!!!

Happy Trails! I've had to move many times, and it does have the one good part of showing you what things are really important and worth keeping over all others. (I also pack well, and can fit an amazing amount of STUFF into a Yukon!):lol:
I hope the doctor's appointment goes well, and that your trip does too. We'll be waiting for updates when you have time. Take some pictures: of each other, of the way the Yukon is packed, of the journey. Hopefully, you'll only be making this trip once. :D

Some how, I had it in my mind that your move was a short distance, perhaps a town or two away. Wow! That's a huge undertaking. How far are you traveling? Prayers that God will bless you with safety, strength, endurance, and guide your steps and thoughts throughout the whole process.

@Lazy Gardener, I looked back -- Portland OR area....to southern KY. Via some visits to friends & relatives..:D That means "who knows" how far or how long. :lol: Life is an adventure, this looks to be one..

I pray for a safe and happy trip.

Glad the trip is going well so far. Enjoy your time with family. Hope the weather is being nice to you! Enjoy your time off the road - roadtrips are hard on me, I always need a day or so to recover.
