PIVOT!

It was May 2014. Rob and I were moving into a cheap little one bedroom apartment in order to save up some money. Between the two of us, we have moved ourselves at least 40 times over the span of our lives - we are seasoned professionals when it comes to moving.

I learned at a young age that a lot of times, while moving, couples will have at least one massive argument. This is only normal, seeing as moving is an extremely stressful ordeal. It's worse when you don't hire movers and you have to do all of the packing and hauling on your own. We entered this move knowing full and well that we would be stressed and likely in pain by the time it's done. Did I mention that it was 27 stairs up to our floor and the elevator in the building was out of order?

To help us have some fun during the move, I showed Rob a clip from "Friends" when Rachel and Chandler tried to help Ross move a sofa up a flight of stairs. Clip provided here for your reference / entertainment.

Because of this, during the move we would look at each other from time to time - especially when carrying a heavy piece of furniture up the tight staircases and say "Pivot!" - typically followed by laughter on both our parts. When the move was over we looked at each other and commented about how much fun we actually had moving with each other because we laughed our way through it.

We've just recently moved again - this time into a house that makes a lot more sense for our current situation. We decided that with the pregnancy that we would hire movers this time around. At one point, Rob suddenly got a nostalgic look on his face and turned to me ...

"I'm going to miss the pivot joke." He said in a pitifully sad voice.
"You'll still make the pivot joke sweetie," I reply.
"Like when you are in labor and I'm pushing you through the hospital in a wheelchair?" Rob said.

A word of advice to any man who's significant other is pregnant, do NOT say or do what Rob just suggested.
