Moving on

We'd been home almost a month and I had reached an equilibrium in my emotions.  Godliness, with contentment, is great.  God had a plan for us and until we left Keenesburg -that was where he wanted us.

Then, we contemplate renting out the house.  After much prayer and deliberation, we put it up on craigslist.  Within four days, I had several calls.  Amazing!  God's timing is always perfect.

After some false starts, we got a young family who wants to buy the house next year.  We filled out a contract.  And just like that, it's time to move.

We buy boxes

And rent a Public Storage unit. (kids are taking pictures now)

So we have the boxes and the storage unit.  Bill took the week off.  We filled the trailer with necessities and boxed the rest.

After a year of planning and six years of yearning to live in an RV, I was finally getting my dream.  And you know what?  I wasn't a roller coaster of emotions.  What is meant to be, will be.

last bits of chaos

Wouldn't you know it, but my dryer stopped working right before we moved. It would go roundy-roundy, but not heat up.  All the loads of bedding and clothes to clean before moving into the trailer.

We made it work, though, and then gave the whole set away. Moving is never easy.  But at least we didn't have lots of stuff.  Or so I thought.  Until we started packing up and trying to figure out where everything went.

Do toys breed in secret?  I think computer accessories reproduce like rabbits...

In the end, we got it all out and the house turned over in record time.

last morning in Keenesburg

House covered in snow

It had to snow while we moved

Good old truck leaking power steering fluid everywhere

May be little, but she is sufficient for now

And we are off!
