Movin' On Up: My Deluxe Apartment in the Sky

So, I just recently moved to Atlanta.  I was living out in Carrollton, Georgia.  I was out there for college and stuck around a little too long.  Atlanta is nothing new to me though.  I work in here and I've lived in metro Atlanta my whole life, minus the last 6 years.  It's great being back in the mix of things and being no more than 15 minutes away from EVERYTHING you could ever want.  The only beef I had with the whole thing was the moving process itself.  You can keep that.  I now understand the importance of hiring professional movers.

I used to think the job of being a professional mover was ridiculous.  I would wonder why anyone would pay someone for something they can do perfectly well themselves with a few friends.  I sit here 3+ weeks since moving in and I say this, ALWAYS hire professional movers.  It was the greatest idea ever not to hire movers until I moved the second or third box up three flights of stairs to my 3rd floor apartment.  Then we get into awkward furniture moving...and the best thing in the world...washer and dryer. 

I don't regret moving to the 3rd floor because it definitely has its advantages.  I just don't plan on moving again for a few years now because of how much of a pain that whole process was.  Making 140 mile round-trip runs to Carrollton and back got old really quick too.  

In short...hire a moving company.  I don't care if you're moving next door...hire a moving company.  You can't put a price on people doing all of your work for you.
