Started packing

Started initial packing efforts this week. I keep blank notebook paper next to the boxes, then as I pack I write down a general title for each box, and itemize the contents of each box. Example:

Books 1 (4 photo albums, 10 books, 1 notepad)
Books 2 (3 photo albums, 14 books)

Then I use marker on the side of the boxes: Books 1 and Books 2.

This makes it a lot easier than trying to take inventory afterward. At this point we're still not 100% sure where we'll be moving to, but this process is absolutely necessary for Canadian immigration... and anyway, it makes life a whole lot easier no matter where you're moving. So I don't mind that bit of extra effort even if we don't end up in Canada just yet.
