Moving a family and 10 years worth of crap is a mentally and physically draining experience. I can't imagine anybody doing this more than once.
Here's a quick funny move story: On my last trip from old house to new house with a truck load of crap, I stopped at a shopping plaza to pick up something (at Office Depot, I think). After I got home I realize that a garbage can full of miscellaneous items was missing from my truck. Stolen. I pretty much knew what was in it – old toaster oven, bag full of spices, some miscellaneous clothing items that never made it into a box, etc. Nothing really critical. I laughed mostly at the thought of the expression on the thief’s face when he opened it up.
Anyway, a week doesn't go by that my wife can't find something and claims that it must have been in that garbage can. At this point, that garbage can must have been like a Dr. Who garbage can, as the amount of stuff she claims is missing would fill up an entire dumpster.
