Packing up our House








 Oh my goodness...this was one of the most emotionally draining thing I have ever done.  I packed up my ENTIRE HOUSE by myself....Cleaned and painted the entire house by myself just to get ready for this move.  By the time people came to pack up the truck  I had the entire house packed up and the majority of the stuff in the garage ready to go.  The only thing I didn't have in the garage was all the boxes and totes from the basement and the furniture.  Clint was able to come home several days earlier and it was a HUGE help.  While he was home he was able to get all the beds taken apart the holes in the walls filled and the boys room painted which was a HUGE deal and HUGE help to me.
 I felt extremely blessed during this whole process with all the support and also I felt the Lords hand in this process and being able to manage my time wisely and getting everything done in a timely matter.
This was extremely hard though...I don't think there was a day that went by that I didn't struggle packing things up and watching the house become really empty.  This last picture of the coats in the box was the hardest box for me to close up and tape up because I knew that by closing up this box meant my life was going to forever change.  No more snow, no more cold winters.  That was really sad for me.  I left the box sitting open for several days before I was able to get the courage to go close it up for good.
