Well as Jenna told you (and should be posting a picture on our blog soon) we got our trailer yesterday and it's parked beside our house. In a few weeks it will BE our house as it will have everything we own in it ;o( and ;o). It is 8 1/2' wide by 24' long. By itself it's length is the width of our house. Hitched to the truck the two would probably be as long as our house. It's unreal! I ran into a co-worker at the grocery store and told we picked it up and she asked how I felt...my response was I felt like I was about to lose my breakfast. How a person can be so sure of something and yet be so anxious over it ~shaking head~.
Then we headed downstairs and attacked our storage room. Now that felt good. We probably have about 20 bags of garbage. Lots went to the garage for the thrift sale and a "few", yes just a few boxes got stacked in a corner to go with us. It's amazing how many books we have. We could start our own library! That's even after putting several boxes in the thrift sale and having already sold several in our first sale. Amazing. By accomplishing the basement it gives us a better look as to what all will fit into the trailer.
The packing will continue, as will the house hunting. I sent out several emails Friday to property management companies in Anchorage. If we don't become active in our house hunting, our home may be that pot at the end of the rainbow...smile.
Next weekend will be headed to Iowa for a youth day on Saturday as their youth didn't make it convention. The following Friday we have our thrift sale. That weekend will be used clearing away anything that didn't sell, and more packing. August 19th we have to head to Southern MN on the Iowa border for my niece's wedding. And then the following weekend we leave for the assembly. Stop the clock but spead up the packing. It feels like time is getting away from us, yet why aren't we there yet! Go figure.

A BIG BLACK "HOUSE"

God can and will slow down the time for you as you are getting packed up. There were times when I looked around and thought, "This ain't ever getting done!" and then I would stress because there was so much to do in such a short time. It all got done exactly when it needed to be done. I am confident that God will see you through this as He saw us through it and you will look back afterwards and say, "Wow! How did we ever get all of that done!" I still look back with amazement from time-to-time. Praying for you guys!
