The Big Move
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.

The move is over, amen…I’m happy for you “New York Sagens”! You have a good father-in-law, make sure you give him a decent Fathers Day Present…family is good.
Thank you again for making me so proud, and for the great book for my Fathers Day gift.
Love,
Dad

Well good luck to you and your family on the move. I find the first two years in a new house / apartment are the worst ;)
