Moving Stinks

So here we are. It's Monday morning and I no longer live in Park City. Yesterday we went to our branch for the last time and got released, which made me cry more than I expected to. Then we had to speak, and I cried some more. So silly! It's not like we moved to a different state! Changes just make me sad. Well, sad, disappointed and worried...but also happy, giddy and excited to see what's going to happen next. It's just a roller coaster.

What was amazing is that we found someone to rent our place so quickly. We still had 3 months left on our contract but felt we should leave now. I had tried to get a hold of the management company since the beginning of May to know what we should do and NO ONE called me back until like 2 days before we were going to be moving. Of course the nice woman told me we would have to continue to pay rent until we found someone to take over (even though they didn't keep up THEIR end of our contract in SO many ways...but that's a story for another day). So I freaked out for a day and then posted it on KSL. The next day I got a call from a woman who was interested. She came to see it that day, and wanted to move in the second we moved out. AWESOME! It just made me that more convinced that this is what we should be doing right now.

We are currently living in my grandma's basement while we're looking for a home just for us! So we have stuff here, and at Ry's grandma's and today the rest goes in a storage unit. I hope we find a place we can stay in for at least 10 years because after we move all the stuff in, Ryan will probably refuse to ever take it all out again. I'll have to negotiate the 10 years. Thanks to everyone who helped us so much this last week!

Wow! I was already not looking forward to moving and now I'm really not looking forward to moving! I wish we would have known that you were moving, we would have come and helped! Hope all goes well.

Moving really does stink. It always takes more time and energy than it initially feels like it will. Good luck!

Trust me I know all about moving! I'm sure it wasn't easy with a toddler and being pregnant! We lived with my parents for a couple months in transition and it was so hard. Boxes everywhere and constantly ripping into them to find something. Good luck finding a place of your own sometime!

Does moving still stink? Or are you settled yet? Good thing you've got so much family and friends around to help! I'm sad I didn't get to see you last weekend. Next time we come up I hope you will be settled and I will give you more advance notice! Hope you guys are doing well.

I hate moving as well. Mostly because I often compare my life to that of a hermit crab. Each time I find a shell, I grow into it. Life between shells is rough, especially since you are so vulnerable and always get something banged or scratched during the move. A couple of times I've had to cut off limbs because my new shell was smaller than the one I was leaving. By they way, one of my legs (which is the exact size and dimension of a piano) is still residing in someone else's shell. Hopefully we can figure something out with that.

For a much more satisfying move try this....load up everything you own into a UHaul, attach your car to the back, and then drive through Wyoming and Nebraska. It just makes getting to your end point so much more gratifying!
