We're moving to Vegas

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.

At least Vegas is still not too hard for the occasional trips. Better than the east coast or Europe. Still hard to be so far away from loved ones, though. My DD moved to the IE, and I hardly ever see her, and it's only 1 1/2 hrs away.

My father-in-law lived in Henderson. It's just far enough away from downtown to be laid back, but still close enough to easily visit. I could never live there, too hot and hard to garden. I'd go crazy with out my garden.

Good luck to you, I hope all goes well!
