Move it or lose it

Mr. Fleece & I have a secret love for helping our friends move. Some might even call it a past time. Very few of our friends are living in the same apartment/house where they were living when we first met them. Some friends have even moved multiple times since we've known them. For one reason or another, be it rent increases, getting married & moving in together, having a child & wanting more space, or swapping roommates, we've helped many many friends move. & we love it. 

Helping the B family move to an apartment just five blocks south of us! Pro tip: use different colors of duct tape to wrap boxes, indicating what room of the house they should be moved in to. Genius!

It's a great way to serve our friends.

It's a free weekend activity.

It's super fun to see their new space. 

It's a way to force me to workout without really realizing it. 

It's truly the perfect blend of task & relationship building. This is key. I really enjoy having an activity to complete when hanging out with friends. Other examples include going for walks, cooking & jigsaw puzzling : ) 

So when I offer to help you move, it's really just me wanting to hang out with you! 

Maybe it will be a different story when it's actually us moving. But then again, maybe not. Instead of "moving day" I'll just call it a "box party."
