How do you pack

Ugh, we have been dreading packing for our move for a while now. We purchased 2 trunks from The Container Store and still get to bring two suitcases each. Chet has had no problem fitting his life into his 3 suitcases, I, on the other hand, have had at least 2 breakdowns. Clothes are not even the biggest problem. I have been hoarding medicines, my favorite sauces/spices, and books just to take to Vietnam. Here is an earlier conversation:

Me: "What books are you taking?"

Chet: "High-Powered Investing for Dummies, Macroeconomics For Today, and The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway. Why, what are you taking?"

Me: (glancing over at my past year's subscription to Martha Stewart Living) "Those." "Oh! and Gone with the Wind!"

Chet: "You're kidding, right."

Me: "Umm, nope." "They're my reference books."

Chet: (giant eye roll)

Soooo, I have managed to prove to him that I desperately need the past October and December issues of Martha Stewart Living. (I'm still working on November). Those lucky two issues get to travel to Vietnam, as for the other 10, they sadly must stay in Montana.

We will try to post pictures of our trip out of Billings to Hanoi on Thursday!
