While I always try to write mean­ing­ful arti­cles (or posts, as they are referred to in the blog­ging realm) deal­ing with obser­va­tions and anec­dotes on life, some­times the occas­sional “What Hap­pened to Me this Week” post slips through. I fig­ure this is a per­sonal site, and there­fore it’s nice to share, on occa­sion, with whomever reads this site, cer­tain events in my life.

As some of you know, my wife, daugh­ter and I recently moved into our new apart­ment. We rented a U-Haul truck (all 14 feet of it) and packed a slew of items that we’ve man­aged to col­lect over the past year and a half, includ­ing var­i­ous elec­tron­ics and other mate­r­ial items. We fig­ure by the time we move out of this apart­ment and into a house, we’ll have amassed over twice the items we have now.

On the move over, I had to ride in the back of the U-Haul to make sure the items were secure. To pre­vent mass hys­te­ria, or suf­fo­ca­tion, I’m not sure which, my father-in-law left the door slightly cracked. Need­less to say, it was an inter­est­ing expe­ri­ence watch­ing a piece of the road pass under­neath the truck, and hop­ing I wouldn’t slip and tum­ble out, as we moved across town. I should men­tion that we only moved about a mile from where we used to live, but already I can tell we’ll be much more com­fort­able liv­ing on our own, as opposed to liv­ing with family.

For the moment; sev­eral boxes, clothes, and other house­hold items are strewn all over the place. Which means for the next cou­ple of weeks we’ll be unpack­ing, sort­ing and orga­niz­ing our apart­ment to our liking.
