Our Big Move

This guest post from Werner Rogers

Less than a year ago, we moved our family from college to Utah. We left sea level and beach air to move to 6000 ft elevation and the driest air I have ever known. The sheer logistics were tough enough. We had only one moving truck, one small moving trailer and a minivan. We stuffed as much of our stuff in as we could and had to leave our holiday decorations, etc in a storage unit. We hooked the trailer to the truck and loaded the minivan with two boys, two dogs, a TV and luggage. The 900+ mile journey started later than planned and we quickly found out the truck had a governor on it allowing us to travel no faster than 70mph. We finally pulled into our new place at 2:00am the next morning.

After we got into our house, things went a bit better. We had made an earlier arrangement to have our satellite service moved and we were able to get a high speed internet tv bundle so we had everything set up right away. Luckily, our new landlord had also kept the power, water and garbage services going so we only had to change the billing to our name. Our son got sick soon after we moved in. Our neighbors let us know who the good doctors are and where to find the vet's office. Moves are always hard but it was definitely worth it for us.
