It has been a busy two days for us. My friend came over yesterday and we managed to pack 7 boxes.

I didn’t realize how much we do have in our small apartment. We trashed a few bags worth of stuff that were cluttering up the place and couldn’t donate.

Here’s a to-do list so far:

• Notify landlord (done)
• Notify current employers (done)
• Pick the apartment and fill out the paperwork. (We’re going down there tomorrow! Leaving around 5am… :p)
• Get a few estimates from truck rental companies. (It’s going to be approximately $200.)
• Start a file for moving paperwork (File cabinet ready.)
• Grab and complete post office change-of-address cards. (I got to do that this weekend.)
• Use up food that can’t be packed. (Doing pretty well on that!)
• Schedule packing and do it! (We got some boxes from a local grocery store. We got a great tart and our goal is to do 2- boxes/day until we’re done. I’m estimating Tuesday.)
• Clean apartment to get deposit back. (Wait until next week.)
• Schedule disconnection of all utility services at current apartment, and have new apartment’s turned utilities on. (Wait until next week.)
• Request a refund on our electric deposit. (Wait until next week.)
• Return any borrowed items (I called some people and am making arrangements to return the items.)

There’s still a lot to do, but I think we can do this. Am I forgetting anything major? Do you have advice?

• Nasty time with the tenants One of the tenants on my Salt Lake City properties are late on the rent. Well, they're not late, they just haven't paid for a few months. Nothing but excuses and sob stories. I had taken them to court in June for non-payment of rent and instead of leaving, they......
