Moving: Do Not Want

So, this whole moving thing has turned into a gigantic ordeal, much more so than i was hoping it would be. Not that i thought it was going to be easy, but i jumped in the fray late last week to try to help Vicki find a decent moving company at a decent price, and was relatively taken aback at what i found...

First of all, i got absolutely inundated with phone calls and emails. I haven't made an official count, but i'd guess i got somewhere in the neighborhood of 75 emails over the course of a couple of days. So much so that it became overwhelming and i couldn't keep up. After doing some very arbitrary trimming down to a few companies, i found one guy i really liked, talked with him a few times, and had Vicki get a hold of him.

Everything seemed good, until she did her homework and researched the company a bit, and it started to look like that at best the company wasn't very good, and at worst it was a scam. So we scrapped them, and went with a more reliable, more well-known company. Vicki set it all up, and it looks like everything is a go!

I'm flying back to KC on Tuesday, July 14th (less than two weeks!) to help Vicki drive down in her car with the dogs, and the movers will load her things the same day. Then it's off to Phoenix!

Meanwhile, Vicki does all the hard work and packs boxes, while i sit in Phoenix and wait. I feel completely worthless not being able to help...
