Since Jon and I were living long distance until May and we are still not living together and I am in a small temporary apartment until we close on our new house and move in after the wedding - figuring out where to have gifts sent and where to store all of the gifts we recieved was a logistical challenge. Some needed to be sent to Pittsburgh for Pittsburgh showers, some were sent to Jon's parents house and then transported for my Baltimore shower and some were just sent to my parents house or Jon's parents house. Thank goodness for Jon's parents enormous basement that I very quickly turned into my wedding gift storage unit.
(before)
Those gifts have been shipped from warehouses to homes, from stores to homes, from homes to parties, from parties, to home, from Pittsburgh down to Baltimore and from parties back to Jon's parents house. And thanks to Jon and his Dad I haven't had to cart all those boxes up and down any stairs. So to say thanks for carting all these gifts around I figured I would take some time to organize and try to make the most out of re-packing everything so that its fewer boxes to move when Jon and I move into our new house. I think I was quite sucessful if I do say so myself.
(After)
Each one of those boxes is labled and categorized so that we know exactly what we are opening when we have to unpack. And I think I reduced the number of boxes that we are going to need to transport yet again by at least 15 boxes - thats like 10 trips up and down the steps that we wont need to take. Jon thinks I am crazy but I think he will thank me come moving day.
