We have decrapified.
All of the weight that held us down and made my heart ache and my mind become overwhelmed is gone. All of the stress of spending every waking minute in a house full of crap-is lifted.
10 weeks ago-I made the decision that I want to be able to spend quality face-to-face time with my kids. That I want to sit in my bible study and not think about the mounds of laundry I need to do. I wanted freedom to live-with less-and be content.
God orchestrates life so seemlessly that half the time we think we are fulfilling our plans-he is really prepping us for the bigger picture.
First-here is the garage sale-we set up Friday morning after the girls went to school-that way we avoided any early birds and our morning was pretty relaxed.
We sold til 6pm-pushed the leftovers in the garage and headed to Todd's dads for Todd's bday dinner :)
Saturday morning we got up and pulled it all out again!
We sold and sold and sold and sold til noon-then we scheduled a pick up by a local charity for the rest!
It was freeing, exhausting, and all around...worth it. We made around1,300$ during this sale-totally awesome.
The bigger picture? About 2 weeks ago Todd started a new job...in a new state. Something that 10 weeks ago-wasn't even on our radar. So all this decrappifing certainly helps since in a few weeks our house will be on the market to sale. Because we will be going to our new house in Georgia...in just a few weeks! OMG!!!
And it's a lot easier to sell a house when the lookers don't have to worry about things falling out if the closets and cabinets.
So there ya go! Our decrapifing challenge full circle! If I seem distant over the next few days it is because I am busy trying to get our house ready to list. We still have a lot of projects that we were saving to do over the next 3 years-that we need to fit into the next 2 weeks!
