Moving On Up, Or At Least Down the Street!

My experience of moving was actually pretty uneventful. Since my house had accumulated a horrendous amount of rubbish, I took the opportunity to clear out a huge amount of rubbish and hired a skip lorry to get rid of it all. I was very lucky to be able to purchase a home in the same neighborhood where I had been raised during my teenage years and where my parents still lived. I loved that neighborhood and knew it was a safe place to raise my child and feel comfortable. I started by packing up each room one at a time and labeling boxes. That is the easiest way to move house. That way when all the boxes are jumbled in the new place, they are easy to find because they have helpful labels to indicate where they go! I also moved all the big furniture first and got those pieces situated. It was easier to set up the smaller items and put things away when I had places to put them. I did not have to rent a moving van but recruited family members and friends with trucks instead. This saved me a lot of expense although things were tense at times!
