But, if it makes you feel any better, although it is scandalously decadent to watch the moving people come to your house and pack and move all of your stuff, I have never had more things get broken than I did during our first moving company move. It was a sad, sad day. I will make sure I share the wealth by giving my fabulous moving company boxes to a good home after the move we have this month! Thanks for the tip.

The next morning, they're always gone. It kind of blows my mind, but it always works. I think some people collect stuff that way and then sell it, but I feel good about that, too.
