Moving to a new state

Tweet

My husband and I moved from Pennsylvania to New York back at the begining of August. Seriously - what a headache! I don't know how people do it that move often! Let me just tell you, I can't wait until we're moved BACK to PA and have all the switches once again finished. Today we went to the DMV and got our licenses and registration taken care of. That cost $400 for both of us! INSANE. The woman kept telling us that some of the stuff was a one time fee and that we'd never have to pay it in NY again, but what she doesn't understand is that we're only going to be in NY for 2 years, so the fees we paid seemed like a lot! There is just so much you have to do and switch over when you move to a new state. You also have to learn "their rules." Some new big ones in NY that we had to get use to was no talking/texting on a cell phone while you're driving. It's a good law, we just weren't use to it! Then of course the mandatory recycling. That took a while to get use to because we weren't even encouraged to recycle at our last apartment complex in PA. Oh the stress of moving. Have you ever moved to a new state? What was the biggest pain about getting settled into that state?
