The Big Move

We have Internet in our apartment now!  That means it's time to catch up on the old blog.  Three short days after coming back from our honeymoon we loaded up and headed out to NC.  Note to young movers - Generally speaking, Budget is cheaper than UHaul, but it's important to realize that Budget charges an additional fee for drivers under 25.  However, if you book online you get a 20% discount off of your rental.  Also, if you're a member of AARP you get 20% off.  What we decided to do was have my dad drive the Budget truck to save on the young driver fee and get the AARP discount.  This saved enough money to pay for him to fly back to MO.  Of course, Mom couldn't have Dad seeing our first place before her so she came too.  So glad!

Dad drove the truck the whole time while Robert, Mom, and I took turns driving the Camry and Fiesta.  We stopped in Cookeville, TN for the night and rolled in to Wake Forest on Thursday evening.

Moving in started around 8:00 on Friday morning.  I am so thankful that my parents were here to help.  Here is the final product:
