So. Last year Jared & I discussed selling our house when Hyrum graduated, and using the money to buy property in Alaska. He retires from the military in a few years, and we both love Alaska, so it made sense to plan a move there when we are able. Then last month his mom passed away. It wasn’t unexpected, because of her poor health, but it was sudden. And after discussing things with his siblings and dad, we decided to sell our house this month (!!!!) and move in with his dad for a year.
Last week was a whirlwind of packing, trips to the donation center, renting a storage unit, and taking things to the dump. Jared pulled everything off the walls and spackled each and every hole. I am constantly surprised by the little bits of paper that turn up in odd spots. And I’m also surprised at how much I throw away when I pack. Right now our house looks horrible because everything is out of its proper place, waiting to be boxed up.
So it’s time for some knitting and a gratitude list.
(this yarn will be striped socks someday)
things I am thankful for:
* knitting
* free boxes from Walker’s place of work
* we were able to go to church in person today- properly masked and sitting far away
* it is beautiful and sunny today
* chocolate
* God is good
