Guys, it was SO FUN to tell you all about the house selling yesterday. It filled my heart as I was reminded how many lovely people follow our life and have remained in our corner throughout the years. What a huge blessing to our family 💜
So. Unfortunately, I can’t put a whole bunch of the detailed moving information on here. Because, you know, public internet. What I can tell you is that the move is soon. VERY soon. Not during the break, but not long after it either. Originally, Brady and I discussed what we were willing to hire out. We considered having a sea can delivered to pack up, and having it moved to the next place. But Tom came to our rescue and has let us use a trailer of his for the last couple of months 💜 What a life saver that was! So with that cost covered, we figured we’d pay for movers. We’ve moved enough, and didn’t want to pester our friends to help us. Without putting too fine a point on it, it feels extra bad when Brady can’t even really help. He can, but not the same way. Not in the physical, running back and forth, managing all the heavy stuff, kind of way. So, we figured we’d hire it out.
And those estimates were THROUGH THE ROOF!! Like, thousands upon thousands of dollars. There was simply no way. So we decided we’d do all the stuff we could, and just hire out moving the furniture and the big, heavy stuff. Even just that is hovering around the 2K mark. Its SO much. That being said, we may still hire out that portion of the move. There are so many of us, so we have a ton of furniture by default. ALL the beds. Dressers. Cabinets. Bookshelves. Plus a piano. And a gigantic table saw.
Here are my hopes.
I HOPE that my efforts to purge the house before the showings paid off and that there won’t be mountains of junk to sort through when we pack. I HOPE packing is fun and not entirely stressful. I HOPE the kids are excited and do their part. I HOPE the weather holds up long enough that we don’t have to move in a blizzard.
But however all of those details look, I’m just so thrilled we’ll be getting there 💜 And soon!! What a beautiful change of scenery for our family. Thank you LORD!!!
