This week we are moving. I had a few posts planned but I’m pretty sure Walker packed my camera cord so I can’t download any photos. I guess that’s what happens when I turn my back on him. This moving with a partner thing is pretty new for me and one I’ve had a bit of a hard time with because of my wanting complete control.
When we first moved here Walker came first and I joined him later so we didn’t actually have to move together. This time all of our stuff is together and we have drastically different ways of packing. Mine is more controlled and like stuff gets packed with like stuff and there’s a method to it. Also I wrap my things and tape the bottom of my boxes. Walker on the other hand just throws stuff into boxes from wherever. If it needs to be packed it just goes in an unmarked box. He also insists that we just take everything and after we move then go through things and find what to get rid of. He also doesn’t tape the bottom of boxes.
As you can see we pack and move very differently. It’s been hard to not just get really frustrated (which I have) and blow up at him (which I have) but we have actually been able to calm down and actually discuss things. The result is both of us giving in a little. Walker thinking a little bit more about packing something and letting things go and me giving up some of the control and trusting Walker. Just because he does it differently doesn’t mean it’s wrong. As he reminded me earlier this week, he’s moved many time and it’s always worked out just fine. Alright, alright.
I’ll be back in a couple of days once I find that camera cord.
