Lunchbox:
I've moved I think 8 times in the past 3 or 4 years. I am great at packing. I also love moving, which is lucky.
Caleb:
If I had a choice I would rather be locked in in a room with someone who has an extensive knife collection rather than someone who loves moving. (Not good knives either, like the crappy ones you see on late night infomercials that only the truly deranged buy)
Honestly I just can't fathom how someone can have any positive feelings toward moving. Being neutral to moving would be fine. I guess I could maybe understand that a very few people might even like moving.
But...loving it? I don't get you Lunchbox.
In other news I am moving out of my current apartment that has isopods in it and moving into a newly remodeled and painted townhouse two story apartment.
And though I am excited about living in a new space I am not excited about moving.
Papersatan:
I have moved twice, and only once for real, and even that was not for real for real. Neither move had hard deadlines. The first one was out of my parent's house into an apt two blocks away, so I could take my time getting my stuff and the second was out of that apt into the house next door to my parents, which they own so I had a week to move in before my other lease was up. This time my move out date is flexible here, but since the move is out of state we have to do it all in one shot.
I am nervous about the moving process for us at the end of this summer. We have started sorting and packing things already because I just know we are going to have so much to do in the last few days. Our new apt is smaller so we have to get rid of a lot of things. Also we don't know anyone in Ann Arbor so moving stuff into the second floor apt is going to be all on us.
Any pro tips for us, ye of many moves?
Caleb:
Make sure you label on opposite sides of the box if you have the time. Or on the top and sides of the boxes.
Lunchbox:
Start packing early. Get lots of boxes from the liquor store. Use teatowels and sheets and towels to wrap your breakables. Do one trip before you take your furniture over so that you can unpack some of the bigger stuff and empty some boxes.
I mainly love moving because I love decorating, and I love exploring new places and changing up my schedule.
