[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 440263, member: 4264"] I think first off, getting more info on health insurance and docs etc, sounds like something that would all require residency anyhow would it not? Well not the getting the info (some well targeted calls to places in Oregon might help point the right way), but actually applying for insurance and getting in to see a new doctor for Matt etc? In which case, I'd perhaps spend a couple of hours simply making some calls in advance of you bringing Matt down or going to house hunt. You could request via telephone for the proper documents to be mailed to you so that you can send in applications once Matt has established residency. Due to the distance, I wouldn't focus so much on possibly spending an entire extra bulk of time during your house hunting trip to get these things done. You've got a lot on your plate and these are all important tasks certainly but they can wait until you're moved mostly aside from getting info mailed and perhaps the forms you'll need for Matt. Even if Matt is settled and you return home from your house hunting trip with his documents, you could maybe fill them in on your own and mail them back to him to ship off or have him pre-sign them and then mail them direct for him? I think it sounds far more stressful to attempt 2 moves with a Uhaul. Plus on one trip, to move yourself, you'd be alone for the drive and still have issue of transporting the dogs, just minus your Matt in the vehicle. If it is possible to crate them, I'd perhaps add in extra stops to help you get a chance to let them run and burn off steam on the drive, but crate them otherwise and drive the larger truck. I bet it would save a ton of money too, and certainly a ton of time and possible frustration. Any 20 hour drive is bound to be maddening at some point, so one trip sounds ideal from this perspective. I have to say I think you are so much stronger than you see yourself as at times. As overwhelming as your life can get, that THIS is your list of concerns to jumble through speaks volumes! Valid concerns but also good ones and seems like missing from the list is all the complicating things that most of us get caught up in. I think this move is going to do you good once you actually are settled somewhere. I wish you the best of luck to get through it all as smoothly as possible and that you find a location to settle that might offer a place you can finally consider "home". [/QUOTE]
