Cardboard

Our apartment smells like a cardboard box, and we essentially look like we are living in a fort made by children out of boxes they found lying around at home. (Think of that show “Out of the Box” but way less cool).

No one tells you what a pain in the butt it is going to be packing up all of your belongings when you live in a small, downtown, one-bedroom apartment.

There is literally no space for us to stack filled boxes that will allow us to continue walking through our home with ease. At this exact moment, if you wanted to exit our apartment you would have to slide two box towers away from the door. It is certainly not ideal.

But we have to press on.

One week from today Josh and I will be heading out to our new home with all of our stuff stacked in the moving van and our car. So we really don’t have time to procrastinate the packing process. Which unfortunately is going to be leaving us completely inconvenienced for the time being.  

As I look around at filled boxes, empty boxes, and an array of our belongings sprawled all across the apartment, I wonder how people have managed to move out of small spaces before us? Is there an easier way to pack up your stuff without worrying a tower of it will come crashing down on you?

I’m being serious. Someone has to have figured this out.

Well, I have to get back to tackling this project, you can expect an update if I have some sort of epiphany related to somehow simplifying the packing process if you live in a small space.
