"And it's getting real..."

My sweet mom came home with Brad and me after Thanksgiving at her brother's to help us start the packing process.  As box after box got filled up, Brad got more and more excited and kept saying, "This is starting to get real!"  To say that we are excited is a bit of an understatement! :)

And the first box is packed!

Green stickies = empty, Blue stickies = need some work

*Me and B* in front of our boxes! 

Proud of ALL the packed boxes we've got!

After spending LOTS of time packing on Friday and Saturday, mom, Brad, and I loaded up and headed to Arlington for some Christmas shopping and a trip out to the house!

We can't wait to cook in this beauty!

We LOVE these huge cabinets!
