Ok guys, moving day (to my friend's house) is June 24. It can't be earlier than that because all the utilities won't be hooked up in the house until the week before then, and there's things I have to do for work that week.
I am already calling out the troops -- packing things to stash at other local friends' places, and rounding up people to help with the move. This is one part where I am EXTREMELY lucky -- God bless these people -- I don't know who or where I'd be without them.
I called and told my parents. The bedroom I'll have at my friend's house is actually not big enough to hold the family furniture, but the parents would rather pay for moving and storing it than let me get rid of it. So that's that.
I will be asking NLFFIL (No Longer Future Father In Law) what he wants me to do with the car. I really don't feel right running away with it -- NLFH has his own car, and NLFFIL has never been anything but kind to me and I don't believe in taking it just because the family can afford to lose it. I'm prepared to sign it back over if that's what NLFFIL wants, but my dad seems to think that NLFFIL would rather just give me the car outright than bother with selling a completely superfluous car. We'll see. I'll probably give the ring back to NLFFIL too -- he's the one who bought it.
Now the question is: tell NLFH before I move, or after? He'll be at work all day that day, so he won't witness any of the move or be able to interfere. And I do have to see him again in order to convert the lease papers, so I can't completely disappear.
