Our time in PA is quickly coming to a close. My company has people come in to do the pack and load (thank goodness!), but we've still been trying to go through and organize some things and donate/sell items that we know won't fit in our apartment in Austin. Since we had today off, we spent the majority of the day doing that....aka movie day for the kids! The reality of downsizing again is sinking in. Our house in AZ is 2700 square feet. Our place here is 1400 square feet, but we have a good size storage room. Our place in Austin will be 1200 square feet and storage costs extra so we're trying to avoid it. I think we'll manage, but there might be some tough cuts! At this rate, we'll be living in a tiny house by 2020.
Although today wasn't the most exciting day, last night was so much fun! We had such a blast at the Fightin Phils (AA affiliate of the Phillies) game last year, we knew we wanted to do it again this year. They put on a massive firework show after the game...I'm talking Disney World level. It lasted 15-20 minutes and was coordinated to music. The kids stay surprisingly entertained throughout the game. The hot dogs and treats and the entertainment and games between innings help! :) It was past 10 by the time we got out of there and they both quickly passed out on the drive home.
When we move to Indiana we're upgrading to a 2-bedroom, so we'll be going from 647 to 923 sqft, but we're still getting rid of so much stuff! Moving is so motivating that way, and every little bit helps the moving process just be easier, regardless of what will fit in the new place!
