Thou Shall Not Move

or at least minimize the time you move.
Having recently sold our apt and got a house, Connie and I had the 'joy' of going through packing, moving and unpacking (which we are still in process of). Please refer to title of the blog to see how I feel about the whole process. The only semi-pleasant part of the move was the professional movers we hired. (OZ Moving) Having decent furniture to move for the first time in my life, I didn't want to mess it up with a U Haul truck and test my friendship by asking for moving help. They were fast, efficient and very courteous. But the process of sorting through and pack for even a 2BR worth of stuff is overwhelming. Neither of us took time off, so we had to use evening hours and weekends to pack. It is amazing how much junk one can accumulate over a short four year period at my apt.

Still going through finding different pieces from different boxes these days, I will probably be box free by Christmas time.

Correction: Packing in the evening hours was not "us", it was "me".
Also, 80% of the accumulated junk was "yours" not "ours". =P
But the overall experience was not as bad as I expected. The mover made the move quite smooth.
