Moving



It's no secret that moving is right up there with rush-hour traffic, taxes, and public speaking in terms of the worst things ever...

But I have news: moving to an urban location is exponentially worse!!!!

There are so many logistical hoops to jump through it's making my head hurt a little bit. Don't get me wrong, I know it will all be worth it, and we are both really excited to live in Washington but did you know you have to get a permit from the city to have a moving trailer on a city street? And that you have to park no parking signs in said area 72 hours in advance to reserve that space? and that you can only move on Mondays through Fridays, which means if our moving company is a day late, we will have to wait until Monday to do any actual moving, but Monday is the 4th of July so we would probably actually have to move on Tuesday. And if you want your stuff there on a guaranteed day, then you have to have your trailer loaded over a week in advance....UGH. It's okay. It will all work out. Right? In the meantime I am just excited that they recently opened a Shake Shack

(yes THAT shack shack in Madison Square Park in NYC) in DC and it is a mere two blocks from our apartment.
