Sorry I haven't posted in so long but moving has taken a lot out of me. From the loan application, locking a loan rate, signing escrow papers, writing big cashier's checks, getting moving estimates, packing, walkthroughs, doing the move and unpacking. It was by far our worst move ever. Some of the details included picking up a crappy U-Haul truck from a liquor store, the Bekins packers packing up wet wash cloths, wet towels, dirty dishes and just throwing things into boxes, the Bekins movers doing a 5-6 hour job in almost 10 hours and just noticing that it seems few people want to do a good job whether movers, packers, contractors or sub-contractors. One highlight was meeting former Padre pitcher and Cy Young Award winner, Randy Jones. As I was picking up the U-Haul truck from the liquor store (don't ask) in the morning RJ walked in to get some last minute items for his daughter's wedding that day. The owner made a big deal out of it and RJ was really great.
At least we are in our new house (which we are extremely grateful for) and we've learned a new lesson, we are never moving again.
