A Chronicle of Moving

I just moved out of my parents’ house last week. My brother and I are now with our buddy, Andrew, and my parents are moving down the road to another house. During the move, I was reminded how much moving just…sucks. I was thinking about how many times I’ve moved since 2003. Let me count.

September 2003 – Moved to school
April 2004 – Moved back home
September 2004 – Moved back to school
April 2005 – Moved back home
August 2005 – Moved my parents into a new house – It was the hottest day of the year for extra misery
September 2005 – Moved back to school
April 2006 – Moved home (only 2 weeks)
May 2006 – Moved to sublet near school
August 2006 – Moved to an off campus apartment
August 2007 – Moved back into a dorm at school
December 2007 – Moved back home
October 2008 – Moved into new apartment/moved parents into new place

In the summer of 2006 I had to move my brother twice, and I had to help him quite a few other times. I also helped my girlfriend move a few weeks ago, and I’ve helped my friends when they’ve asked. I’m glad I was able to help, but for my sanity, please, nobody move for at least a year. Can we have a year long moving moratorium? It will be like when the Supreme Court ended the death penalty in the late 1970s, but only better.

Needless to say, I hope this is the last move I’ll have to make for a little while.
