Well, I woke up this morning and reality finally hit me! We have under a month (23 days to be exact) until we have to be out of our house. We have to be out a couple of days early, so that the cleaning company can have it done before our final inspection. Then we'll be in a hotel for a few days, because I don't want to leave before my husband's ALS graduation. His doesn't fly to Korea until July 17th, but the kids and I will probably leave for Indiana the weekend before that. He doesn't think he can handle having the kids at the airport when he leaves.

Anyway, we're getting rid of all of our furniture before the move. (Getting all new furniture when he gets home - can't wait!! :D ) I don't think we'll have that much to actually move, but if we need extra space, we may need to rent a trailer. The only problem is, my car doesn't have a hitch! I want to check out prices on small moving vans/trucks, but am drawing a blank on companies... all I can think of so far, is Uhaul and Budget. We have to pay for our own move though (the AF won't pay for us to move to our new base next year, if we have them pay for this move), so I really need to find a good deal. Any suggestions??

Sorry this is so long! :) I'm really trying not to freak out right now, but we have so much to do! :eek:
 
I am in same spot as you. We just sold our house and have to be out by July 6th. We decided to rent for a year and then start building our new home but we still haven't found a rental house.:eek: I have about two weeks to find a house and move. Anyway I have also been looking at rental trucks and these are the ones I have found...

Uhaul
Budget
Penske
Ryder
Enterprise

Good luck on your move!
 
We love enterprise!
