Hello beloved. Whew! February comes to an end and I didn't even notice where the month went. After we put the house on the market Thursday evening, we had an offer the next morning. Michael and I looked at each other speechless - that quick?... and for the asking price? I knew right then that God is on the move and we thanked Him with all our hearts. Well then since He is on the move we might as well get ready to move. We accepted the offer and got on the roll, closing will be on the 29th so that means we have to be out of the house by the 28th. We have roughly 3 weeks to do all that.
First thing we did was getting ready for garage sale and luckily I had most of the little stuff in the basement priced already. All appliances stay even the freezer in the basement plus we offered our furnishings to the buyer and they said yes. That meant we don't have to move the big stuff like the desk, the double recliner and the hide-a-bed and rugs in the basement. We even left the big screen TV and the surround sound. They also said yes to the couch and the rocker and the rugs in the living room. All in all we just need to get rid of the big stuff outside like the trailer and Michael's canning stove and tools, etc.., etc.. We left the lawn mower for the buyer as well.
It was a very cold and wintry two days when we did our sale but we got rid of some. The next week we had gorgeous warm weather so we did it on Tuesday and Wednesday for the last time and we really got rid of most of the stuff. What was left we boxed up to take to Goodwill but a friend came by and took all of them so we didn't even have to do that. We took some leftovers to the curb and the next day they were gone. Michael and I kept saying to each other it has to be a God thing.
In between all these we had to find a place to live, box up all our stuff and move them to our new place. It's a one-bedroom apartment so Michael and I will be camping on the living room until we leave for the Philippines.
