Last weekend I finally moved house! As I mentioned in this post, I found a new place in my price range in a neighborhood I love about 10 minutes away from my old place. Moving at the end of April sounded like a good idea in February when I first signed the lease to the place, but it actually ended up being over 90 degrees, making moving conditions miserable. On top of that I had to get the timing of the move just right - the time I reserved the loading dock of my old place had to end just at the time I reserved the loading dock of my new place which also had to align with the time I reserved the moving truck. Poor Brian who was helping almost had a heat stroke! We were crunched for time and trying to stay hydrated. Luckily it's all over and I'm moved in but we still have some furniture we need to buy. I also don't have access to the internet in my new place yet but hopefully we'll be wired up this week. 

I think the lesson I learned is that I should just hire movers in the future. I'm past the point where I can live on a suitcase like I did in college. I'm older, I have more money, more clothes, and overall more stuff. I can afford to make my life slightly easier and not have my friends suffer from heat exhaustion. 

In any case, here's an outfit I wore a few weekends ago I never had a chance to post. I think I won't have time to post as much this week as I'm still trying to clean up and have limited internet access. Regularly scheduled posts next week.

What advice would you give for people who are moving?
