Sisters, I can't say that I am a pro at moving but I have done it many times. I have found that it pays to get dish barrel boxes from U-Haul for my dishes. I have never had one of my dishes break yet, knock on wood. Two years ago, we moved from UT to GA and we found a company called Money Savers, which was a lot cheaper than renting a U-Haul. They contracting with a company called ABF and we loaded the truck up and we had to unpack it, but they drove it for us. So, we were together in the same car when we moved cross country. I was really dreading driving separately cross country. Good luck on your move. And I do suggest that you let your bishop know. When we arrived in GA the elder's quorum came and helped us move in. They really made us feel welcomed.
