To the Day

You all may find it interesting to know:

On August 1, 2005, my mom and I packed up her SUV and she moved me, my mattress and my clothes to Orlando.  I was staying with Jennifer until my condo closed.  That was all I had... that was all I needed.

Now, on August 1, 2011, 6 years to the day, I am back in Miami to stay.  (that wasn't supposed to rhyme). This time, however, moving wasn't quite so easy.  It wasn't one mattress we moved, but 3.  And everything else that goes along with a husband and two toddlers.  There's a dining table and hutch, a couch and a coffee table,  a bookcase and some chairs, and a partridge in a pear tree. 

Just check out the MONSTER moving truck we drove down from Greenville yesterday.  No lie, it felt like an 18 wheeler.  And we hitched my car to the back of it, so it was looooonnnngggg like an 18 wheeler. 

Thankfully we are here and we are safe.  Now we have to decide if we want to rent something now and just unload once, or if we really do want to stay with the in-laws, which would mean unloading into a storage unit, renting another truck when we find a place, loading and unloading again.  So basically like moving 2 more times.  Can you guess which one I'm hoping for?
