Ready, Set.. Not Yet!

The time has finally come... I am just about one week away from my big move to Anaheim! I cannot believe it is already here. My countdown started around five months ago, and I am now down to nearly one week! (Ten days, but hey, who's counting?!) I have been searching the internet for months trying to find out how other people have packed, what they used, what they brought, and so on and so forth. I found a few blogs that had great ideas, and some not so much. I realized that we all pack differently, and figured it might be beneficial to share my packing process. With my move creeping up on me, I have began packing, and here is how I have done it thus far.

Packing has been way more difficult than I could have anticipated! After asking a few friends for advice, I decided to pack my clothes and shoes in Sterilite tubs. (Thanks again Tori, Shelby, and Jennifer! Love you girls!) I have one tub completely packed! YAY! I separated my business wear for Traditions, classes, etc. in its own tub, which happens to be the only tub completely packed. 

Here are two of the tubs I am using for clothes and shoes.

Although our apartments are "fully furnished", I have been told that our kitchens don't have much in them. Luckily, I have a lot of kitchen stuff already purchased/gifted to me, and am bringing it with me just in case we may need it. If you know me at all, you know I'm bringing my Keurig and my Crockpot. Coffee and Crockpot meals are essential to my life. Not kidding. I also started my own stockpile, so to say. Friends from my DCP Facebook page suggested to stock up on shampoo and conditioner, face wash, body wash, hairspray, etc. I found this really helpful, because it'll be nice to have a backup when I run out, rather than having to buy it while I'm down there. I have spent the last few weeks buying things here and there, and have quite a few things to get me through most of the program, if not all of it. I also received a gift basket from my Auntie Janelle, and I still cannot thank her enough. She including cleaning supplies, hair products, bandaids, and other things that are helping me so much. Thank you again, Auntie!

My amazing gift basket from my Auntie Janelle!

Here's my current pile! I know it'll shrink in some ways, but grow in others!

I certainly didn't forget my Minnie ears! Is there anything I might've missed, or something that I absolutely have to take? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks again for reading, and following my Magical Journey! Wish me luck!

Keep Moving Forward,
