I am in the process of moving from Wilmington Delaware to a tiny little rural community in the Poconos, and... I just... can't wait... for this to be OVER. 😆 🤣
Every time I've moved I've said to myself "this is the last time; I cant do this again." And here I am doing it again. I probably shouldn't be allowed to complain lol. I've been throwing out so much stuff beforehand, but one thing that is not getting thinned out is the record collection, which has only grown since the last time I moved, and those things are HEAVY in bulk. I'll never learn!
Anyway, this is where I'll be moving to: Dingman's Ferry, Pennsylvania

Good luck with the move. With luck you will know when you have made your last relocation. I've been in the same place for the last eight years, feels like I'll be staying.

I just moved myself. Hopefully for the last time at this level. Next move will be very downsized…🤣.

That's awesome!!! Less awesome was the final week of this process. On Monday the seller informed us she couldn't close on the 10th, which was the second postponement. We were just so mad when the title company person informed us that it turns out the seller was in bankruptcy and a judge had to approve the sale, which was the source of the delay. This was kept from us by the sellers agent, deliberately so because I asked if the delays has to do with the house or any encumbrances and the agent told us it was a "personal" issue. Well, I canceled the moving truck and told my friends I was sorry for the last minute change but I wouldn't be moving. After demanding some sort of concessions for the constant rescheduling which caused issues for me at work and was costing extra money, they magically said they could close on Friday AFTER ALL. After we already canceled our truck and everything. Whatever. We would just take our stuff to the new house in small trips with our cars until the next time an affordable rental was available and fit with my schedule. Well, Thursday night, some scumbag CREAMS our Mercedes while it was parked and drove off. It is undriveable and may end up being totaled. I couldn't empty the car for towing on Friday because i had to spend all day driving up for a walk through of the new house and closing and then coming back, and the body shop is closed on weekends. The tow was supposed to be this morning but Geico basically.... FORGOT! I shit you not. So NOW they are coming tomorrow. And we still don't know if the car is fixable. But... we did close on the house and it is ours now. And it's beautiful. I cannot wait for 2021 to be over. I know measurement of time is a construct and is meaningless and whatnot, but I just will FEEL better when this year is over lol.

We said the same about 2020.
And because of a lot of bad/sad stuff on my end, I said the same about 2019.
I think we’re due for a stretch of GOOD!

Congratulations on the new house! Post some pictures! If you are looking for inexpensive moving help, you may want to post a request on Nextdoor.com for your local area. There may be some college kids in your local area who are home on winter break and are looking to make some extra money.

My daughter has moved 2x in a year. She uses a local "man with van" although they often appear in pairs so should that be "men with ven"? She pays £60 per hour (about $80) and they generally get the whole thing done in a couple of hours. Not that this helps anyone moving house in the US.

Here's a picture I took when we were viewing the house when we made the offer. In the picture is my wife and our realtor. It feels really good to be out here and away from the city. While in Wilmington I felt CONNECTED since we were so close to everything, it also was crowded and loud. While I am going to miss my friends dearly and miss my ability to visit my favorite people as much, my daily life has already gotten so much less stressful.

It looks like you have a big yard in front and woods out back. That's awesome!
