This is my first blog post from down in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, meaning the move was a success. This was not my first move, but was definitely the biggest of my life so far. I grew up on Long Island, and in the middle of 7th grade we moved up to Middletown and rented a home that was, shockingly, on almost the same road as Shell’s parents house. Then we moved to my parents current house, and they’ve been there ever since. Though I did move to Oneonta twice, but they weren’t as big of moves since it was only to my college apartments. After I graduated Oneonta, Shell and I moved in together in an apartment in Albany, and that was a pretty big move. And now here we are, moved down to South Carolina.
It was a big move not only in distance, but also in terms of how much stuff we had. Living at our apartment for three years, we had accumulated a lot of furniture and other stuff. We ended up renting a 17 foot U-Haul truck, but by the time I drove it back to the apartment to start loading it up, I was concerned that it wouldn’t be big enough. When our parents arrived they had the same thoughts, but U-Haul did not have any bigger trucks in stock then, so we had to work with what we had. We spent several hours cramming the contents of our apartment into the truck and our cars, and by 4pm we were ready to hit the road. Read More
