You know who your real friends are when they move you a second time within a year. They know how much crap you have and remember how hot it was last year about this time when they were stuck helping you move.

I learned many things during the move. I found out that UHaul can take a reservation, but they can’t keep a reservation. Anyone can take a reservation, it’s the keeping of the reservation that’s important (Seinfeld, anyone?). I also found out that these bad boys (I had two) can do 70 on the highway. I found out that Mark likes to make mechanical contraptions with rope to lower furniture down from a second floor deck. I found out that 3 people can move an elliptical up the stairs, around a corner, and into a room (that thing was heavy!). Luckily Thomas is stack diesel.

So, thanks to Mark (+family), Paul, Thomas, my brother, my girlfriend, and my mom. You’re the best!
