The dreaded moving van!
|
|
Let's face it: Moving isn't fun. I swore
after the last move, which was small by comparison, that I
would never do it myself again. Moving is a real pain in the
ass! But... I had decided to make some big changes in my
life and this was a part of it.
At the same time, Cheryl was looking to
move to a bigger place and I hoped a less muddy yard - from
her place on Franklin Street in Santa Fe.
|
Cheryl was set to move first. Jarrett and
I were still looking for the right house to rent. So we
helped her pack up and tried to find a moving van on short
notice. That is not a simple task at the end of the month
(any month) in Santa Fe!

Cheryl had to work (she is a Firefighter)
and that meant that the kids and I (Jarrett will claim he
did all the moving, but my back will tell you otherwise!)
started the moving process on a Friday and with Cheryl's
help finished on Sunday.

If you thought moving as a single guy was
easy, think again! Furniture, a 35" TV, computers, books,
clothes... it took a slow process of two weeks to fully move
me out of my apartment in Santa Fe. Of course my place was
on the second floor! But with Jarrett and Cheryl's help
everything was out and cleaned on time. And the first thing
I did in March after moving was to buy more crap to fill up
my new house!
