1. Call the packers to arrange a time for them to come
2. Open the door
3. Take a nap
Getting our house packed was the easiest thing ever, for me. For the packers, it was a little more strenuous, it took them nearly seven hours to wrap, pack, arrange and haul our 26 boxes out of the house and into a moving van.
What's really incredible to me is that we came here with six suitcases! I honestly don't know how we managed to accumulate so much stuff. Especially since we've already sold/given away a lot.
We'll see our things again in six to eight weeks, when the packers arrive in Cedar Falls to unpack everything while, probably, I'll take another nap. Pretty sweet arrangement, huh?
In the meantime, our house is EMPTY! But we're not spending much time there. We're spending our last days (could I say hours now?) eating our favorite Indian dishes and seeing friends. Won't be long now till we're on the plane, in the air, our big adventure over, for now.

Did the employees start packing their shoes in with your belongings so you could have them as keepsakes? Is that why they aren't wearing footwear?
Or maybe this is one of those full-service companies where the employees pack themselves into the moving boxes after taking care of your belongings and accompany them to their destination, then unpack themselves upon arriving and help move stuff into your new place? Pretty sweet arrangement.
It sounds like it seems bittersweet to you. But we can all hardly wait until you get here and begin your newest adventure. It seems like you enjoy your naps, too!
See you soon!
