boxes, boxes and more boxes

I didn't know moving would be so exciting and so much fun, I don't mean the stress of moving the stuff, I don't mean the heat cause is like 95 degrees and the mess, I mean the thrill of moving your stuff to a new location, get inspired to put your stuff where it will be a show case, because 1st is your dream house 2nd you love to redecorate. 
Let me tell you about moving.  I haven't move many times since I lived in Florida maybe 3 times in 15 years, and every time is exciting. When I lived in Puerto Rico since I was small I moved from el Coqui, to Fullana, because mami tells me we lived in Montellano when I was small but I don't count that one because I don't remember, then to Fullana (I remember vividly) then to Valle Alto,(oh my Gashhhh, I had so much fun in Valle Alto) then to the Campo (Honduras de Cidra), then we moved to Indiana then back to Puerto Rico then I got married, then to the house in Toita, then to my parents downstairs, then to Maton, then to Florida and here I moved from Citrus Meadows to this street I live now, I use to live across the street  then we moved here and from here I'm moving to the house of my dreams, it's not my house with "papers", but where ever I live, I fix and I make it mine, simply because I'm going to live there. 
But what I want to tell you about the excitement of moving is because when I was young, living still at home, we got bored of sleeping in the same room and me, my mom and sisters use to move eeeeverything around. we changed beds, window coverings, closet, decorations, everything, it was like moving to a new house and it felt so good, never liked to have my furniture one way all the time when we couldn't move from room to room, we switch our rooms around, to do a better cleaning of corners and closet, so for me moving is super exciting, is a new toy, It don't matter if is hard work, I know in the morning I'll get up to a mess for a few days but my dream of having a new place, like I like it makes me happy and that's why I want to show you how this boxes make me feel...
People may think, "she's crazy", and I don't care, is my house any way...jajaja, no offense but it's true, then I invite for a cup of coffee or tea or just some panini sandwiches with a lot of olive oil, garlic, sun-dry tomato turkey and lots of baby spinach and of course, V8 juice or a fresh squeeze limonade...then you'll tell me "wow it was worth it..."
You know just packing all those boxes I found stuff I haven't seen in a long time or better yet, stuff I didn't even know I had, is fun and exciting, because doing all this, I know where I'm be putting all that stuff, well enough chit chat...this is what I'm talking about...


this is all my "china" well lets say it's my vintage china, my treasures... the ones I take out when I get company or have a party or big family gathering... is inside this brown smithfield boxes...


this is on the way to the front house far down that room is filled with boxes, I have book, crafts stuff, my pictures... oh wow



this is that room I have everything here to be shipped to the truck and hauled to the new house






Not only boxes but everythin in between, like Persayas bag and my iron...


This is my "china" cabinet, almost empty, need more boxes to put all this vintage stuff....
I'll be posting more of the process...
