I've moved like three times in the last five years (apartment to apartment to apartment to finally a house) and almost every time it was in the summer heat! Ugh!<br /><br />I got back from my vacation and have been trying to settle in. It's so hard to get back to normal life after being away for over a week, but I'm blessed to have been able to take the time off.

But a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do. Last time he moved-- almost 18 months ago, he made all the arrangements himself. He moved 600 miles away from us. He went out to find an apartment a few days early and changed his cell phone number while he was there that trip. He then came back and finished what his dad and I couldn't get to because of the ice storm(s) we had.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-86672664531186174512012-07-18T08:27:40.232-04:002012-07-18T08:27:40.232-04:00I agree, if you can get your internet/phone/cable/...I agree, if you can get your internet/phone/cable/etc hooked up BEFORE you move, it makes things so much smoother!<br /><br />For our last move, I packed all the bedding we needed for our first night in a separate box from the rest of the linens and brought it over in our car instead of the moving truck. It made making up the beds so much easier! Also, a suitcase or duffel bag with a few outfits for each person helps, too - in case the clothing boxes get buried at the bottom of a major pile. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-43457970494760104482012-07-18T08:10:50.269-04:002012-07-18T08:10:50.269-04:00Great tips, Jill!
