The closing on our house was scheduled for Monday June 29. We had a lot of work to do to get everything cleaned and moved. On Saturday June 27 the moving truck and three guys pulled up to the house in the morning. The rest of the day was total chaos; you think everything is ready till moving day arrives. The guys were very efficient and fast. We were moving everything into a storage unit in Crestview except what we were going to move into Brian and Diane's, where we were going to live till we got our house. All of these items were to go on the back of the truck. A few things we needed went to storage anyway but we figured we could get them later.
Brian and Diane were graciously allowing us to have a little suite, composed of two rooms and a bathroom, in their house. The moving truck went to their house first and unloaded the items we were going to use there. After we finished there we headed to Crestview to put everything else into the storage unit. We unloaded everything there and the movers left and I went back to the house. We spent the rest of the weekend cleaning and getting rid of last minute stuff. We spent over twelve years in that house and had a lot of memories. Seeing the empty house and knowing we would be leaving it forever was bittersweet. The buyers came by and inspected the house and we closed the door for the last time and with a tear in our eye drove away to our temporary housing wondering what would happen next.
The closing happened on Monday as scheduled and all went well. Now we had money but no home. Kim spent the next few days setting up our temporary abode, we had a bed, dresser, table, clothes, laptops and other necessities. I continued to go to work and carry on as usual but something was missing. In looking back everything was great, but at the time I was antsy. I spent a lot of time searching to see if God was showing me lessons I needed to learn. Unfortunately I am sometimes a very slow learner. Let the lessons begin!
