We Are Moving And I Am Very Stressed Out! So, we are moving from Washington state to Idaho tomorrow. I am so stressed out because I have a ton of stuff to still pack up, blog posts to do and family to take care of. GAH. The stress is weighing down on all of us. Plus, moving is expensive! My poor hubby has a whole yard and shop to pack up while I do the house. Crazy how much stuff we have accumulated :/ I can’t believe all the moving boxes and bags I have in my home right now!
We Are Moving And I Am Very Stressed Out!
My hubby is out right now, grabbing the second moving truck (we are driving two of the largest ones and will still have to come back a few times for more stuff, sigh…) and I will be pulling a trailer with my truck. I have never pulled a trailer before let alone for 11 hours, so, there is that. Wish me luck! Wish us luck :/
After we move this house, I will also have to come back and scrub it down, vacuum it, and patch up a few things. We lived here for about 6 years, so lots of stuff to do and move!
I just wanted to let you all know what I was up to, in case go missing in action. I will be missing for a few days. Just know I am busy busy busy but will be back soon 🙂
During this move, my hubby had numerous things happen. The road trip to our new home is no walk in the park! So far he has had THREE tires blow out from his trailer and he totaled our truck 🙁 I am so thankful he is alright and he got the help he needed.
Thank heavens my hubby knew what to do after he had an accident. If you do not know what to do after an accident, please check out the ‘After An Accident Tips. They are very helpful and could save a life!

I am fortunate to not to have had to move far away. I still live close to where I grew up.
Sherry Conrad says
I have moved many, many times, as far away as from Alaska to Florida with 4 kids by myself. I personally LOVE moving. <3 A fresh start, new places to explore and friends to make.
Sand says
Yes, after college I moved away. But it didn’t work out.
Leah Shumack says
Not really. Moved away for college which was about 30 minutes away and then back home and then into my own home 10 minutes away and been here ever since!
Buddy Garrett says
Ues we moved 454 miles. It isn’t fun.
kathy pease says
No I have never moved far away although some days I would love to.
Julie says
I have, and it was a huge hassle. It is a good time to get rid of unnecessary stuff though.
elizabeth miller says
the last move we made was local but we did it with 3 kids. I said then never again until they are out of the house. But, growing up, my parents were Dupont and we moved all over, all the time. My son is military and does the same. They just went completely across country last year/
Melissa Williams says
Farthest I have moved is 9 hours away!
Rosey says
Good luck. It’ll be over before you know it. 🙂 I recently moved from Michigan to Florida.
Courtney R. says
I’ve only moved a town away, but seems like every time we move it is a diaster. Once we discovered mold, twice we needed to get a larger living space, so I agree, moving is so stressful!
Shannon says
I have never moved further than 30 miles away from my house.
Diana C says
We moved from the Kansas City area to Austin, TX then back under two years

The furthest away I have moved so far has been about 4 hours apart but in the very near future I will be moving about 15 to 16 hours away 🙂
Jenny Scheldberg says
I’ve only moved within my state but moving DOES suck. It’s so stressful.
Carolyn Daley says
No, I never had to move very far. I was 3 1/2 hours away from home when I went to UCF.
Shannon G says
I actually moved far away from California to…Idaho! as a kid. It was a culture shock for me at the time – a small town that closed down on Sundays and had no real traffic light was a big change from “two miles to Disneyland” – but now that I’m older, I often wish we could move back. It’s a great place to raise kids, the Twin Falls area has AWESOME fishing in the Snake River (plus fish hatcheries to tour), and there are many beautiful places to visit (I like the Sawtooth Mountains.) Take a deep breath and enjoy your new home!
Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone!
Kim Delatorre says
We are in Moore Idaho! Sounds like you lived close 🙂
Tina W says
I’ve only moved within the state of California, but my last move was 600 miles and involved a long drive with 2 cats in crates. No fun!
Jessica K. says
Yes I have moved far twice! The first time from Rhode Island to Texas, the second time from Texas to Minnesota. And I’m not done….hoping to move back home one day soon!

shannon fowler says
I actually moved to alaska for a year long internship. it took a lot of planning because companies don’t always travel there. i wanted to use a pod and they wouldn’t go that far. then moving back would have been too long of a drive so we had to ship my car on a boat and then get it driven to me across the country.

Sandy Cain says
Yes, I moved from NYC to Las Vegas, and lived there for 12 MISERABLE years. So glad to be back home in NY! Vegas is a very unfriendly, drug-ridden city. I used to think it ran on gambling, but it doesn’t – it runs on drugs.
Michelle C says
When I was a kid, my family and I moved from the east coast to the west coast. As an adult, the furtherest I’ve moved has been a couple of hours.
