Top Ten Comments From Those Who Helped Me Move

Moving Boxes

Ah… a cross-country move.  Such a joy, especially with 4 dogs in tow.  But, there’s always some humor if one is paying attention. For me, I got a hefty dose of it from those who helped me load the moving truck in Utah and from those who helped me unload it in Ohio.

Just a quick FYI, It’s common in my religion for people to help other people move. There are usually just a couple of church leaders that one can call to alert to one’s arrival in a new area, and sure as sunshine you can expect that they will have contacted a handful of people who will generously donate some of their time to help a person get settled into their new home.  This approach all but ensures that you’re going to get some people helping you that you haven’t met yet.  People who don’t know me yet as The Preparedness Pro can prove to be a great pool of hilarity when they see my “stuff” in relation to the amount of “normal” household goods. There were far more than just 10 comments that made me laugh out loud, and a couple even caused me to snort, but it helped us all get through the physically grueling aspect of the task. So, while you enjoy this post, I’ll be trying to get myself unburied by all of these boxes at my new location so that I can be back to the business of Preparedness Pro in full swing. “See” you all soon!

ROFL!
