I am beginning a new chapter in my personal life and I was really excited to sign the lease on a beautiful new home yesterday. I have a lot to do to get it ready, and (I just found out) I have more than enough time to clear the house I am in now. I have however, never moved my own stuff before as the Army has always PCSd me. I would appreciate any advice from you more seasoned movers! What do you do to make your moves easier?

Do a detailed review of what you do and do not need. Haven't used it in a year? Probably don't need it. Get to selling and donating. Simplify the life and the move.

Hi Jessica,
First Congratulations on your new home. I was also use to have Uncle Sam move me, the best recommendation I can give you is, gather some family or friends to help you with your move. If that is not possible and if you can afford to hire a moving company I would do that.
