Getting ready for a new adventure

Not many people know that David got accepted into the Technology Teaching Master at the New York Institute of Technology, the Manhattan campus. We've been really excited about it but at the same time have been feeling a little stressed out about the move and the whole new experience. I, for one am really excited to live in NYC but I'm definitely not looking forward to the move. It will be hard to do it, stressful and very expensive. I know we'll manage but knowing that I'll have to do most of the packing and planning alone is not very appealing. However, I'm happy and excited for this new adventure and David is too. We're planning to leave at the beginning of August but before that we'll need to find an apartment, and make flight and moving truck reservations. We'll have our stuff shipped to NY and David will go first and hopefully be able to sign an apartment contract before we all go there. We'd very much appreciate some suggestions from those of you who survived going through a big move like this and have more experience at it than we do. : )
I really hope that things will go well for us this time and that we'll be happy and successful. We will definitely miss our friends in Utah and hope to keep in touch. And of course that everyone is welcome to come visit! We'll let you know once the move is all planned and definite.
