Thanks, Karen. I will have to use all these tips when I move in… yikes, about 40 days! I’d never heard the tip about trying to negotiate while looking instead of when signing… will have to try it and see if it applies in Asia as well :)

Best of luck — Hope you & Tony find a perfect place in FW to bring home the baby to!

I enjoy reading your blogs. Thanks for sharing your experiences. It’s been 10 years since my last move. Still, I can relate… it takes a lot of energy to haul all your stuff and family around… finding the “right” place with a good landlord is a quite challenge… but, you sound really confident. So, I’m happy for you. A positive outlook and knowing what to do is key.

As you get older, things will slow down as your life becomes less transient (and because it’s not-so-much-fun when there’s more of you to move around!) Living simply is the key. I tend to keep stuff that has more personal value than monetary value, still I am happier with less… and moving affords the opportunity to unload a lot of unused but still usable items at the local charities with the benefit of an income tax deduction… or have a yard sale.

And baby makes four… your family is growing and soon you’ll be writing blogs with baby burp cloths still sitting on your shoulders and running out to buy disposables because the cloth diapers are dirty! But, who cares about such minor details? Flow with it and enjoy the time with your baby while you can. Wishing you well.
