I DID IT! I made the move.
June 30th Traverse City, MI: I hugged my mom and dad and got into the 15ft U-Haul filled with all my earthly possessions. (Mom was handing me bags of snacks and napkin wrapped breakfast even as I drove away! 48 years old and I’m still her baby!) I stopped by the U-Haul store and they connected the trailer with my car on it. I thanked them, and got back in the truck, gripping the steering wheel, staring out the windshield.
