WoW. This post has been a long time coming. The past 2 1/2 weeks have seemed like a complete blur. Over the course of those 2 1/2 weeks, we’ve packed up all of our valuables, loaded a moving truck, made a 16 hour interstate drive from Northern California to Tacoma, Washington, unpacked all of our valuables, and set up a law firm (more on that a little further on in this post). All of our family and friends in California will be sorely missed.
We made the move on June 5th (a Saturday), leaving around 9 a.m. In the week prior to the move, I had worked seven days straight trying to make as much money as possible before the big move. Missy (my wife) also put in a ton of hours at the library trying to make every dime possible before we moved.
For those of you who haven’t experienced an interstate move (this was our third), it’s ridiculously expensive. The truck alone was $750 through Penske (a good value considering most other companies were asking for around $850). We also had to come up with a deposit for our new apartment and first month’s rent. Then you have to factor in hotels (we stayed in Portland on Saturday night), gas, food for the trip, and other amenities. As you can see, the moving bill was pretty brutal. That doesn’t include all of things you need to buy once you move into the apartment (bathroom & kitchen supplies, groceries, etcetera).
An Apocalyptic Event of Epic Proportions
Anywho, you know how something terrible always seems to happen before a big day that makes you want to self-combust in the middle of a beautiful field of daisies that an old grandma is admiring simply so that you can make someone else feel your misery and pain?
