Moving and Living in Apartments

Moving sucks period!  but moving from one apartment to the next sucks even more because of all the stairs:(  Then comes the packing... I hate having to organize and pack up everything I own into boxes and getting them ready for a moving truck.  It takes forever because first of all you don't want to loose anything so you try and keep all of YOUR things in the same boxes.  If your stuff gets put in with other people's stuff you have the chance of never finding it again!  Second of all you have to make sure you don't pack the boxes too heavy so your looking around trying to find a few heavy things that you can pack with light items so the boxes will be somewhat light without the chance that the heavy things won't break anything. 

Then after getting everything packed its time to move it out!!!  With being on the 2nd floor of an apartment complex comes A LOT of stairs to be going up and down while getting everything out.  So...We got a little creative and used our dolly to move out several (six or seven) boxes at a time instead of one box at a time which actually saved some time:)) Then you have to worry about organizing all the items in the moving truck so nothing gets broken or ruined.  Plus getting everything to fit is a key goal!!  I really hate moving and we get to move again next year because we already  don't like living on the 1st floor due to all the many many types of bugs we have been seeing.

We thought living on the first floor would be so much better because the major issue with living on the 2nd and 3rd levels is the carrying up of all the groceries.  But little did we think about all the bugs you have to deal with being so close to the ground.  We have all types of spiders crawling around, ants, moths, dragonflys, beetles, you name it.  EWWW gross!  I woke up with about 12 bug bites and always feel like bugs are crawling on me!  We are going to see if this bug spray works but I doubt it will work all that well..  We'll just have to wait and see!!
