Moving is a royal pain in the patoot. Since getting married in 1996, I’ve moved 5 times in 11 years. Wow! The biggest issue for me personally, when moving, is packing up my computer stuff and office. I have everything just so, and I have to break it down, pack it, and then put it back together in a new spot. In our last move, I was so desperate to get back online that I set my laptop and phone and modem up on a card table in the den, and sat on a step stool. Now that’s an internet addiction!

If you’re considering a move soon, it’s always good to learn moving tips and get advice on planning your big day. I’ve helped friends and family to move and it’s amazing what people will leave to do until the last minute possible. This moving company blog has plenty of advice to offer - over 25 moving guides on their site in fact! (They have a blog - how cool is that! I love when regular companies have a blog…it makes them seem so much more user friendly.) This blog entry points out that a lot of people choose to make their moves in the summer. That’s what we did, and it makes sense if you have kids in school. We wanted our kids to finish our their school year before we moved. Everyone else had the same plan, because we had a heck of a time finding a moving truck to rent!
