Moving pt. 2

Well, it's been two weeks since I got to PA. Our flights were very long and while the children slept from Vegas to DC, I did not. When we finally got to Harrisburg, I slept for 2 days, minus time to eat and I did go to church.

That Monday the movers came in. The first thing they did was scratch up my couch. They said they had to take the cover off to get through the door. (HOW IN THE HECK DID THEY GET IT OUT OF MY HOUSE W/ IT ON!!!) Things are missing, broken, damaged and mistreated. I was taken advantage of the movers, by breaking the glass on my entertainment center and I was distracted by them and the kids that I didn't notice it listed as broken on the inventory sheet - then I signed it. I will never move w/o another adult present ever again.

Now, I need to compile a list of everything and submit my damages claim. I hope I am not given too much grief about all the damages. We plan on telling my husbands company that we don't want to use them again when we move again.

My Last Night in Utah

Well here it is, almost midnight, and I am still up. It's my last night living in Utah for a while and I am running the gambit of emotions. Scared, excited, nervous. . . anxious, ready to go, but part of me holding back. I am going to miss so many people including a few who I didn't get a chance to talk to before leaving. If you are one of them, and you are reading this, I am very sorry. I've just been busy, and w/o car for much of my final days here. I will miss you all. Keep in touch.

At 10pm, I will be on a plane to Vegas, then Dulles before finally arriving in Harrisburg, PA. Yep, traveling the red eye w/ two small children. If there are no more entries, you'll know I didn't make it, and I am in a rubber room somewhere.

Ok, my fingers are falling asleep. Still have a few things to do. Good Night Utah!!

Moving

I hate moving - lets just be upfront on this. I hate it. This is big because I try to avoid absolutes and extremes, but I honestly hate moving. I've moved a lot. I went to 3 different junior highs due to moving, when we moved yet again, I cried "uncle" and went to the high school where my friends from the last 2 jr. highs fed into. Then there is all the back and forths during college. This is my forth move since getting married.

Moving is such a hassle. Connecting and disconnecting utilities, things get lost, broken or damaged. Though, this is the first time we've had someone else pack and move us. It's made things easier, since I've been sick, and my husband is already in PA. I won't move any other way again.

This time around I have to find services. Doctor (though, I am considering coming out twice a year and see the doctor who delivered both of my kids - she's cool w/ that btw) Pharmacy, dentist, bank, etc. Ugh! Hopefully people in my ward have good references.

Thus endeth my rant on moving.
