as a general rule of thumb, always overestimate the amount of crap that you have by a factor of at least 2 whenever you make a across-state move. when i first called up the moving company, i gave a generous estimate of 2500 pounds of crap in my house that i had to move. after leaving about 250 pounds of books behind and selling about 200 more pounds worth of stuff, i ended up having about 3000 pounds of crap to haul. even after that, we still had to stuff our car to the brim...

step 3: leave enough room for said lady to move about whilst not invading your space

step 4: make sure you pack tightly enough such that crap doesn't spill over into the center console

step 5: reluctantly watch as your lady-friend snaps pictures as she strategically blocks out your face

Well, we're leaving the great state of North Carolina and heading toward the greater state of California! (comparison is strictly by size, not by quality by any means!) We sure are gonna miss the trees, but hopefully that void will be filled by warm and sunny weather, year-round. We'll keep ya posted! (click on the map for a larger view)
