Congrats!! I can totally relate to this! I have been in my new role here in Dallas for 4 months and it is still exciting. My wife also never left the area around her parents for 40 years.Communication is key to make sure everyone is handling the move well!
As for the move, I got a pretty sizable sign on, but I am cheap, so I checked all over for movers rates. I found ABF freight had the best rates. They drop a 28' trailer at your place, you load it, they haul it. If you need more than 1 trailer, they bring it. If you don't fill it, they just put a barricade in front of you stuff. I had 1&1/2 trailers of junk to bring out. It was only $3200 from Cali to Dallas. All major movers wanted 7-10k. I had friends help pack in Cali and paid $400 for help in Dallas. We went to big lots and asked for boxes, they were happy to oblige! Remember to pack different sizes of boxes. It makes it easier to shove into the odd spaces that couches and furniture makes..
Again, congrats on the new job and your move! I can't wait to hear more about it..
