Tuesday moving update...

OK, so I did a quick re-count and here's where we are today:
Boxes
1 XL
5 LG
14 Med
36 Small
1 Electronics
2 Framed pics
2 flat wardrobe
Totalling up to about:
143.5 ft^3
I spent most of our packing time last night finishing up the kitchen (a few small items left, mostly stuff we intend to bring with us in the car, the biggest of which is the most valuable item in our house: the coffee maker. Otherwise, all the cabinets and shelves are empty and the kitchen is pretty much set to go (OK, some booze and bottles of oil and such are still unpacked, we might just toss those in the car).
D spent a lot of time in the front hall closet and back stairwell, loading up our coats and stuff in the flat wardrobe boxes and the extra large box.
Tonight I plan to attack the office and rid it of everything that isn't needed for me to work. I'll also hold off on packing the computer until probably the night before the movers come (when I'll also be packing the stereo and stuff).
A note: I totally guestimated the capacity of the flat wardrobe boxes and boxes that we put our framed pictures in - they don't have the capacity listed on the outside.
The other "sized" boxes, though, do. So we're pretty accurate.
Also, our bed was ordered yesterday and will be shipping to Steamboat and arriving on July 11th, so don't visit before then or you'll be sleeping on the floor. Unless sleeping on the floor is OK with you, then by all means, stop by.
We also got our tax refund check yesterday (finally) and deposited it along with D's paycheck (we stopped direct deposit so we can close this bank account before we move). We're pretty well prepared, but I still feel like we're probably forgetting something major. Oh well.
We have our new phone number in SBS (but it's not hooked up yet), and I have had my work line set up for some time. Water, DirecTV, garbage/recycling pickup, gas and electric are all also set up, and their corrollaries are set to be cancelled here. We already have our bank account in SBS set up (we'll be wiring most of the money from our refund over there once it clears so we can close our TX bank account). Oh, and the post office knows we're moving and will be forwarding our mail starting next week.
We leave a week from today in the afternoon/evening. This afternoon I should find out if we're loading on Friday or Saturday. I'm hoping for Saturday (for the extra day to pack and so I don't have to work while they're loading), but D is hoping for Friday so we can get it over with. We should also clean and stuff at some point this weekend, and we plan on (finally) going to NASA on Sunday and we have our anniversary dinner on Sunday at one of the nicest restaurants in Houston (it's our one-year anniversary on Sunday, BTW).
OK, that's enough for now. Back to work with me.

So is the plan to finally go on your honeymoon during the 2 year anniversary?

Who knows. Maybe your wedding will be our honeymoon?

If you're serious about taking your honeymoon on the wedding trip, take a couple of extra days while here and go to Charleston, SC. Of course, I just realized that you're moving to a place where a lot of couples take their honeymoons. Kinda like you're on a permanent honeymoon.
And yes, I'm punching myself in the face right now for sounding so sentimental.
