And just like that, our 2 years in the desert is done and we will be leaving the Land of the Free on the 23rd of this month. It has been a crazy week, all the packing, cleaning, tossing, donating and selling.
God has been so good despite my mustard-seed-sized faith. During this tour, we bought a total of 3 cars. All 3 were sold to the very first person who viewed the car. Especially for my car, there were no viewers over almost 6 months. And the guy who bought it, he saw it, drove it, loved it and we went to the bank to get the transaction done. All completed in under 2 hours, from the time he viewed the car, to the time he dropped us off at the car rental company.
This time round, we have 1 queen mattress, 1 king mattress plus frame, 1 sofa and a huge Ikea Kallax (4 x 4). The Kallax went within a day of advertising it. The other 3 big ticket items (as in how are we going to transport it to anywhere) were left. There were many enquirers but no one actually wanted to buy it or have the necessary means of transportation.
Then on the day before the movers came to collect our boxes, there was a frenzy in the morning and after lunch, both the mattresses, the bed frame and sofa were all sold and collected. God is really always very on time. We could stay comfortably in the house till the boxes leave. It's just that my faith is so tiny that I panicked like nobody's business. My body is so tired and I wondered how I could help to move the things onto a truck. I was calling and asking for places who would take in the items and if they could do a pickup, but in the end they were all sold for very little, like the king bed and frame for 10% of what we got it for, but we were glad it went and we didn't have to deal with it anymore.
I'm now typing this out in the hotel lobby, while the housekeeping is on our floor. Hubby is in the house waiting for the carpet cleaning people and we will handover the house this afternoon. My entire body is in desperate need of rest. Thank God for hubby who is clearing his vacation days just to do all these things. I am so thankful.
