The house is now officially in total disarray. I find I'm looking forward to the time when all the boxes are gone, but I also know how strange it feels to live in a house with no furniture. But it's probably best with the animals to stay here and camp until we head off to Chicago on Thursday. It's unsettling, to say the least, to see the house being dismantled around me. Unsettling, but because I've been through it before, not devastating. I at least know what to expect.
Our movers are professional and great workers, so we certainly can't complain about not having to do all of the intensive labor ourselves.
A primer for moving in January:
Pro - cold food can come with us in a box in the trunk.
Con - having to haul giant trash bags through mounds of snow.
Pro - having clear skies (at least right now)
Con - shoveling the driveway before we can get into the house
Pro - avoiding at least a portion of the winter blues because life is so chaotic
Con - having to get used to everything new in the cold
Pro - don't have to mow the grass next week
Con - hoping that our one surviving plant won't freeze in the trunk
Pro - knowing that God is taking care of us, in all circumstances
Thanks for all of the offers for help and concern. We're going to miss our Ft. Wayne friends, but I'm confident that our paths will cross again--and hopefully soon.
