Remembering Your Hometown

Beltmann Blog

Moving time is a busy, busy season. But as you move from one city to another, you and your family might feel a sense of loss. This is completely normal. Your Minneapolis movers will take good care of you on moving day. So you can take care of yourself, your friends, and family leading up to the move. Don’t forget to be a little sentimental!

Visit all your favorite spots. Over the years, you’ve had favorite restaurants, coffee shops, bars, or places that you shop. Plan for an extra couple hundred dollars in your moving budget, so you can visit these places one last time. You might even buy a few mementos from your old stomping grounds to remember them by.

Be sure to spend time with old friends. Especially if you’re moving very far away, you may not see some of your friends for a long time. So build extra time into your hectic schedule to spend with loved ones, and remind them how much they’ve meant to you over the years. If the budget allows, it may even be nice to buy little presents for those you’ve been especially close with.

Take pictures…lots of pictures. Memory doesn’t always serve us correctly, but an image has a way of jogging our memory and giving us warm feelings of nostalgia. Take photos of you with your friends and family in your old home and around the city. This will help you capture this time in your life, and help you move on while still maintaining the memories.
