Mission Accomplished!

I posted a little over a week ago about our goal to move out of our two existing storage units and consolidate into a smaller unit. Today...mission accomplished!!!

We spent most of last weekend at storage, and started moving into our 10'x10' unit. We even got my smaller unit closed out last Saturday.  Donovan did a really great job of being willing to let go of a lot of his stuff, and he posted Craigslist ads galore and got rid of most of the big things last Sunday.

Our goal was to be out of both units by the end of the month, so Donovan spent quite a bit of time at storage yesterday and today, dealing with the last 10-15% of our stuff.  After lunch today I went back with him and we got everything moved out of his storage unit before the office closed at 5:00pm.  There's a whole pile of stuff in our new storage unit that he's going to put up on Ebay this week (already photographed, boxed and weighed for shipping), so that'll go away soon enough!

Donovan's 10'x20' storage unit, emptied today!
It's amazing to think that a week and a half ago this wasn't even a possibility for us, and that through communicating with each other about what was important to us, we got it done!  The impossible became possible!!  I have to say that I did get a little whiny about storage taking up our whole weekend this weekend after we spent so much time there last weekend.  But I got over it, and we're both super stoked now that it's done and the mental clutter is gone!!!  Woohoo!!!  :)
