A Big News Announcement

By the end of this post, you're going to hear big news.....
I don't know about you, but I'm glad to see a new week. Last week was a rough one for me. I still feel emotionally drained. Let's just say last week involved a breakdown and there was no automobile involved. I think everything that's been going on for the last few months finally hit me. I've been working a lot recently and since my job can get really stressful at times it can take a lot out of a person. BUT I'm very happy to have a job in these hard economic times. Plus the fact that I can transfer to basically anywhere and keep working! Major plus.

I'm also still recovering from a work related accident. Hence me having to go to the doctor 3 times a week for the past two weeks. It's slowly getting better though and for that I'm grateful. I'm sure you remember the massage incident story lol. I have another appointment tomorrow...let's hope that massage goes over without incident. 

I think what's been the most stressful though, and this is the breaking news announcement here...is the fact that I'm in the process of trying to move. I'm not talking about a down the block kind of move either. I'm talking east coast meets west coast kind of move. Where you call up movers and they quote you a 5 figure number as to what it'll cost you for them to haul your junk across the good ol' USA. Once, hearing those prices, it's amazing how fast you're willing to part with useless belongings. Maybe they should quote moving prices to people on the show Hoarders. That would definitely help them get over it. 

Now that I've given you a glimpse as to what's been going on, hopefully this helps explain some of my crazy posts recently. Oh, btw: So a few of you that I know, are already aware of exactly where I'm moving to but I'd really appreciate you not spilling the beans on here yet. Thanks!

  1. How fun! I can relate to how expensive it is to move across the country. Although the Army moved us from TX to SC, we had to pay for the move from SC to NY and it ate up our savings like you wouldn't believe! We just barely had enough to find a place to live and pay the first and last month's rent! And we didn't even take half of our stuff! So, I wish you the best of luck and I hope you will be so incredibly happy with your decision!

  2. Congrats on the move!! I know how exciting, yet exhausting it can all be.

    Doesn't it feel great to get rid of stuff? I'm starting some early spring cleaning, and I'm already enjoying the extra space in my drawers!

  5. I can't imagine doing a major cross-country move without the military doing it all for me :) That is stressful enough as it is!!

    Good luck!

  6. I'm not a good mover, so I can only imagine how difficult a big move would be to plan and execute.

  7. Ohh this is exciting! I hope you can work something out on that price, but once you get there, I'm sure it'll be so nice to make a brand new start. Sometimes a change of scenery is all we need!

  9. Sorry you had such a rough week. Moving can be so exciting! I definitely remember getting quoted some startling figures on my move from Houston, and that was just 200 miles. Good luck finding someone that works for you!

  26. That is SOOOO exciting!!! I'm so happy for you and hope it all works out!
    Moving that far is soo expensive. When I moved from IA to SC I got rid of so much stuff and rented a furnished place so I wouldn't have to move furniture. If it was a permanent move I probably would have just sold my stuff and bought new stuff once I was there!

  29. Good for you lady! Change is always healthy (as much as we dislike it) and I'm glad you're taking the leap. I grew up on the west coast, it's not nearly as superficial as some believe so don't worry, you'll love it!!

  36. Wowzers! You are going for it big time.

    Welcome to the West Coast!

    I hope it goes as smoothly as a coast to coast move can go.

    I've been feeling the moving bug myself, if I were able to get a job lined up I'd so make the same kind of leap that you are.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh wow, that is a really big move. Hopefully you like where you're moving too. I've lived in multiple states here on the western half and I love it over here. Seriously though, good idea about the hoarders thing.
