The official part of every single move starts with the same things: the arrival of the cardboard with it’s own unique smell infusing the air, the sound of packing tape being ripped off the roll emanating from every room, little numbered stickers marking the furniture, the massive truck pulling up in front of the house.
After 25 military moves this was our first civilian move. The physical aspects of moving were the same, the cardboard, the packing tape, the little colored stickers, the arrival of the truck…but the rest of it was radically different.
