Aug. 10, 2007 - If you get a minute...
Pray for us. In one day we will be moving into a much smaller home. We love our home that we live in now but know it is the right thing to move into our "retreat." The Children's Home provides low cost housing for the houseparents as we don't really get a good salary to provide permanent housing every other week while we are not working.
I have packed most of our things, Jon's father and some other friends from the children's home are going to help us. We have the truck rented so we just need to do the grunt work.
I thought I was doing well with the emotions of it all but when the realtor asked if it was ok to put a lock box on the house, I lost it. My voice quivered a meek "yes" and my eyes quickly filled with tears as this is the home we have lived in for the past 5 years. I don't think in all of my life, I have lived in a home for such a long duration. That is including growing up. We have sweet memories here of our children growing and friends visiting. I know we will make new ones in our new home.
Well, the kids are out with dad so I better go get packing...
