"Pack Out" was on Thursday, June 24th. The movers pulled up to the house around 9:30 am, accessed everything that needed to be packed, and within 3.5hrs our belongings were in boxes and in the moving truck, on it's way to be stored somewhere in Maryland until further notice.
Once the house was bare and empty I felt mixed emotions of sadness and happiness. Memories started coming back to when we first stepped inside and fell in love with our home. Billy and I had lived in several places, but had always rented. This house was different because we bought it after many years of hard work. It was special because it truly was "our" home.
When we first learned that Billy had been hired with the Dept. of State, we decided to put our house up for sale. After several months of it being on the market and no bites, we let the contract expire and listed it as a rental. I believe things happen for a reason. Just maybe our first home still wants to remain a part of our lives for a little longer.
OMG...they have been packing for 2 days straight and still aren't done...you want some of our stuff? Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteHaha Lindsay...we don't realize how much we have until we move. We got rid of 1/3 of our stuff and once they unpack us, we'll need to get rid of more...yikes!
