Well we did it! We managed to sell our
house and move all of our possessions either to storage, or to our
temporary residence in Richmond Hill where we are going to be for the
next six months.....all in 37 days.
All things said and done, if I was
given a choice, I would have preferred perhaps a longer closing,
however as Parkinson's law states, “work expands to fill the time
allotted for it” and well, I think we would have been just as
frantic if we had 100 days to close.
Everyone always says that they never
realize how much stuff they have until they move...and that is all
the more true when you have seven kids, six of whom are of collecting
age....as in collecting rocks, twigs, and various other flotsam and
jetsam of the sea of life. There is a certain indescribable feeling
one gets when they discover that their child has been collecting tiny
bits of gravel because they are “pretty” by moving the shelf and
having that collection fall on one's head. It is not necessarily the
calm serenity that a rock garden usually inspires.
Anyway, things are going to be topsy
turvy over the next few months as we settle in and wait for our new
place to be built.
This years journey has been pretty
surreal, but we are in the final leg of our transition, waiting to
move into our new house! In the meantime, we will continue to pray
for everything to fall into place according to God's will.
