I will never move myself again!
Written by Moveforfree on May 3, 2010 – 3:34 pm -Truer words have never been spoken.
Since I have been living on my own, just over 6 yeas, I have moved 4 different times. And one of those times was cross country. (over 1000 miles) And all of those times I did it on my own, with a little help from my friends. But now that I have MoveforFREE.com in my life. I no longer need to bribe my friends with free food and a contract to help them move in the future.
So when it came time to move again I couldn’t wait to actually MOVE. Knowing that it was taken care of totally took the stressfulness out of moving. Yes there was packing and cleaning but, all of that seems minuscule when you have movers. The movers called me 20 minutes before they arrived. It was great to see Brian again and he brought his partner Justin They were done packing up the truck within a half an hour. They handled my boxes and furniture very carefully and were super friendly.
I guess I better start moving boxes..
Oh wait! I don’t have to move my boxes…
So, I’ll just sit here and wait!
MoveforFREE.com to the rescue!!
Brian (one of the movers) goes over the inventory with me.
Brian and Justin start moving my stuff into the truck.
Here are our moveforFREE tucks!
They handled my furniture very carefully!
I HIGHLY recommend MoveforFREE.com to everyone looking for a new apartment! Seriously, why would you move any other way. After not lifting a finger except to snap some pictures I will never move myself again.
Thank you MoveforFREE.com!!

TAA 2010
Written by Moveforfree on April 27, 2010 – 3:52 pm -Dreams don’t become goals until you write them down.” Wise words from Mr. 22 himself, NFL Hall of Famer, Emmitt Smith. We were very lucky to hear him speak at the opening session for the TAA Education Conference and Expo last week.
This year’s TAA conference was held in good ol’ Houston at the Hilton of Americas and the George R. Brown Convention Center downtown.
Most of Thursday consisted getting ready for the Lone Star Expo that was held from 5- 7:30 PM. We got our nifty badges and headed over to our booth to set it up. We were super excited to have our brand new booth displays for this show. And boy were they easy to set up. Easy as 1- 2- 3 maybe? Why yes… yes it was.

And VOLA!
We were also very lucky to borrow so beautiful furniture from Court Furnishings for our booth. Thanks Cort!
Since MoveforFREE was a Gold Sonsor…
We got a full page in the conference program guide. Designed by yours truly 
We had a great time at both of the shows Thursday and Friday. And met some wonderful people… and a duck too!
Then it was time for the Ultimate Party: Revenge of the Nerds 80’s Prom Party! Yes you heard that right. The Spazmatics played us a three hour set. If you haven’t seen this guys ever then you must very soon. They are an 80’s cover band whose personas are all nerdy. But man can these put on a good show. Plus we had the great honor to be one of the sponsors for the evenings party.
Here I am in my everyday, I mean nerd gear.
We had a wonderful time in Houston! See ya’ll next year in Fort Worth for the 2011 Conference and Expo!!

The Adventures of MoveforFREE
Written by Moveforfree on April 2, 2010 – 10:32 am -Someone once said, “Seeing is believing.”
This past weekend I had the opportunity to accompany a friend of mine during her moveforfree move. The concept of having people move yourself for you is great in itself, but actually seeing it first hand was awesome! And to top it off….
She didn’t have to pay for the truck…
She didn’t have to pay for the movers…
She didn’t have to pay for the gas for the truck, dolly, pads etc…
Jacob and Brian (the movers) had gorgeous day to move. They were fast, very efficient, and true professionals and handled her possessions with the utmost care.
People always say that once they use movers, they will never move themselves again…. well when you can “moveforfree” why would you?
And now here is the first edition in MoveforFREE’s Moving Adventures!
