As you may or may not know, we are planning to move in the near future, to the town where I teach. Here's an update on our progress.
Last fall, we purchased a beautiful house with a huge yard, small pond, and two outbuildings. For various reasons, we decided not to move until spring. Fortunately, we were able to rent the new house back to the previous owners while they built a new house. Their new house is almost finished, and it's time for us to move!
So far we have successfully unloaded some outgrown items (crib, jogging stroller) at our neighborhood garage sale, and I have big plans to donate some more to my moms' group fundraiser sale. Over the winter I sold a few items through our local paper, too. Today I freecycled a huge pile of old National Geographics to a woman who ultimately plans to send them to the troops overseas.
Last week, a giant storage shed was delivered to our driveway, and we promptly commenced filling it with box after box and tub after tub of "essential" items. It's embarrassing how much is already in the storage unit, when, I bet if you walked through our house right now, you wouldn't even be able to tell that we've cleaned out anything.
We are blessed with a lot of stuff, and even though I'm being ruthless (for me) in my donating, recycling, and tossing, we still have a lot of stuff.
We are hoping to do the big move over Memorial Day weekend. Does anyone have a truck we can borrow?? ;-)
