I'm Moving
By: Jessica Date: February 27, 2014, 3:47 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have lived in the same area my whole life. When I moved out of
my parents house I'm still only 30 minutes away. Well, come July
this is all going to change. I'm moving from California to
Tennessee which crosses 1,975 miles and 5 states in between the
two. My husband has an uncle who moved there 2 years ago and
they love it. We are going to stay with them until we get
situated and on our feet.
The company that I have worked at for the past 7 years are
closing their doors after 53 years of business. So Greg and I
decided to make a huge leap of faith and move. We have a our
realtor coming by tonight to look at our house so we can up it
on the market.
Has anyone ever made a move like that before? I could use some
advise.

Wow. The last big move I made like that I was 15 so I'm not real
sure I can help. Tania who is a member recently moved from Conn
to Calif maybe she would have some insight.

Hi Jessica
Yes! I moved from Aspen Colorado to NJ about 20 years ago! It
was a big move. You are starting early - do things in small
increments - Make lists, find good movers, ask around.
You will LOVE TENNESSEE! I just spent 2 weeks in August there ~
The mountains and people are amazing!!
Make lists -
Movers
Cleaners
Realtors
Get family and friends addresses
Solicit their help!
Do little bits each day - because it DOES come quick if you wait
till the last minute!
Find out about pet licences - crossing state lines with pets
(some states I believe need vet records)
Ask around for new vet in the new area
Kids? Look into schools and don't forget to have them registered
for Fall (if ya have any kids!)
Im a moving encyclopedia! Ask me anything!
Gabi

Yep! After my Dad was paralyzed in 1985, we decided to "Take
Time to Smell the Roses" and bought the property here in the NE
GA Mountains, about 500 miles from our home.
Then in 1991, we quit our jobs, put the house on the market one
day, left 2 days later and never looked back. It was the best
thing we ever did.
What part of Tennessee?
