Paper, Paper...EVERYWHERE!

So I'm pretty sure that the moving company used an entire forest worth of paper and boxes to move us. I didn't really pay attention to how much packing paper the guys were using when they were packing us up--but boy do I see it now!




Of the 150 or more boxes we unpacked, there was on average about 15 sheets of 2'x3' paper in each one. Not to mention the kitchen boxes (probably 15) which had exponentially more paper because they wrapped every piece in 4-5 sheets! My tupperware has never been so safe! We started throwing the paper down the stair well to get it out of the way and soon we noticed that it was filling up. There was a sea of paper so high and deep that to get outside you had to "swim" through it. Grant enjoyed it, we think. He kept romping around in it trying to get back and forth. I took a picture of Josh standing in the paper, I'll try to post it soon...



Most of you know that Josh is extremely eco-conscious (which I appreciate and try to emulate). While most people would have stuffed the paper into as many plastic garbage bags as it took, my hubby had other plans. He decided it would be best to stack all of the paper in one place. About 5 hours later, we had flattened and stacked each sheet of paper (we're talking thousands people) into nice neat piles. I think I gave myself the same paper cut four times.



Thank you Atlas Moving Co, Thank you Josh, Thank you trees. Thank you God that it's almost over...
