The moving trucks prices! Sheesh! When we moved here we had a 26' truck from Penske that was 8 feet high. It took 2 trips.
This time, that same truck rental to Vegas is nearly $1000. Ridiculously priced compared to the Uhaul 26' truck that's 6 feet high and $300.
So - not only will we only be taking one trip, we'll have to use a smaller truck as well. This means some serious getting rid of stuff. I'm both dreading it and looking forward to it. I tend to accumulate things... you never know when you're going to need whatever it is... and don't want to buy it again if I already have it. And I think I probably have some pack rat tendencies as well.
Aside from that, we had family over for high school graduation today and my Mom hugged me repeatedly, saying I was going to be getting that a lot as she wouldn't be able to as much after we moved. Which now makes me a bit choked up. I think I'm going to miss my Mom so much more than I expected.
