Moving On Out

Have you ever had to move? Silly question right? At some point everyone has to move. Maybe it’s from your parent’s house into your new dorm room or maybe it’s from your dorm room into the apartment you are sharing with your husband.

For me I have moved several times in my life. The first time I don’t remember since I was super little, but the next time was into a dorm, then out of a dorm back home, and then from my parent’s home to our apartment. Moving is difficult for me. I struggle with change and leaving the familiar. However, the next move I am facing is one I am so excited about!

This summer Josh and I have been in Manitowoc, WI so that he could work as a summer clerk with a law firm here. It’s a nice small town with some decent amenities but it is SO FAR from everyone and everything we know and love. We are 3 hours away from our families on a good day and since we don’t know anyone in Manitowoc that’s not OK with me.

Thankfully in 2 weeks we are moving to Madison so that Josh can finish up Law School at UW. There we have developed friendships and are way closer to our families.

As I look around our current home and take inventory of our belongings it is becoming increasingly clear that we have our work cut out for us with this move. We have 3 large pieces of furniture, and TONS of other assorted things. I have been googling moving companies, and looking into ways to pack efficiently. No matter how you slice it, this is going to be quite the process!

Since I am crazy organized and a big time planner, the exact opposite of my husband, I am taking the lead on this task. It will be interesting to see how much my skills will come into play and if moving really is something someone can plan out to a T.

No matter what, I know we will get our things moved and we will be on to our new adventure. If anyone has tips though… I am always willing to listen!
