6 Weeks. For those who have pets, you want to make sure that you remember to add making a last appointment with your veterinarian to your moving checklist. Additionally, talk to your insurance agent in order to discuss transferring coverage to your new home. This is also when you should finalize which items you need to move with you, whether it is jewelry or items from your safe.

4 Weeks. At this point in time, you need to make arrangements with your children's school in order to have all of their school records transferred, arrange connection and disconnection dates with utilities in both homes, and notify every one of your change of address.

2 Weeks. Before your Oklahoma moving company arrives for moving day, hold a garage sale in order to get rid of any unwanted items. You also need to go to the bank in the event that you need to close or transfer any accounts.
