Boxes Boxes and More Boxes

Mission memory

There was a man I new on my mission who had 6 BIG barns full of CRAP. For our service we would go to one of the barns and help him organize his stuff. We are talking this guy had 20 feet of used suit cases, box after box of greeting cards that he paid for in an auction- mind you he didn't know any of the people in the box but kept them.

I kind of felt like that this week with our storage! My parents got sick of housing all their kids stuff in the garage so they had my brother build a shed in the back yard. We have always moved stuff in and out for each sibling during their transitions in life. Chantrie and I thought about moving over a year ago so we boxed up a lot of stuff and have kept it there. We went through that stuff and I swear some of the crap we had in there. Not nearly as bad as the guy on my mission but we had to pair it all down and move my other sisters stuff around to get to ours.


Rent Her

We had been weighing our options about selling or renting our house and then renting and buying in IOWA. We decided that we will rent our place here in CO and hope to rent a place for a while in IOWA before we buy one. So this week we had a rare occurrence in our family... Dad was at the table for breakfast. <> So as we were saying our prayer over the food, I was feeding the lines to Kadence. .... Please bless that we can find a place to rent.... and that we can have someone rent this one... And she said.... "And that we can find someone to rent this one- Pointing to her baby sister when she said it, and turned and smiled at me. :)

That's it for today. We have high hopes of getting through a few more things this weekend and getting ready to go! Tune in later for more!
