Well everybody, we are moved in at our new trailer home. Today was the official day of having everything that we have brought to our new home unpacked. All I have to do now is prime and paint our bathroom and kitchen. The walls in those two rooms are very busy. I don't do busy. The more down to earth, the better.
We still have things in our pole barn, and praise the Lord we have a spot to put it all. My dad is allowing us to store our things in his spare garage. I am extremely thankful. I am also looking forward to the shed he is planning on building us. Believe it or not, yesterday we had our lawn mower stolen. I called management and let them know, we filed a police report, and I let my dad know. It really shook my security up. That was just part of it. Sunday, Patrick and his friend Jamie took apart the weight set and took it to my sis's house and I cleaned our old home. Just minutes after we left our old home. Someone was stealing things out of our garage. So crazy. The evil in this world is just going insane. Thankfully though, our neighbor noticed the strange person in our garage and called the police right away. They caught the person and made that person return everything. Today, the maintenance guys found our stolen lawn mower and returned it to us. My father also provided a new dead bolt lock for the back door (it did not have one) and we have all new locks for our trailer now. Praise the Lord for providing through my father and for the return of our stolen things. Through all of this He brought us even closer to Him.
I am so thankful for the wonderful help we had with our move this past Saturday. We had our family with us all day. The Lord provided greatly. My family was a huge blessing to us to have. We were able to get done what was needed done. My husband, the great brainiack and planner he is, had a moving plan and had everything figured out. While I just was in a state of oh my, what am I to do. I just did not know what all to do. Thankfully for my sister in law, Shelley, came to my rescue and saved me from my state of mindlessness.
I am just so grateful for our Lord and what all He has done and is doing in our lives. It has been very exhausting downsizing, but I know it was time to have a clean out in our lives. Not just materialistically but also emotionally and spiritually.
I am glad there is not much more to do, other than to paint and decorate. One day at a time, moment by moment. The Lord is forever changing me.

Movie is a huge job. I am glad you are pretty much done. Sorry we couldn't help you. We are SO swamped with things we have to get done in the next two weeks. (if you read my post you find out about it)
That is scary that you had stuff stolen as soon as you moved in! I think people must like to steal when someone is moving in. When we moved into Logansport, someone stole two bikes and my brothers passport the first day. My mom and brother were driving down the road before they even knew the bikes had been stolen and saw the guys riding them. So they stopped and Rob told them they needed to take them back. They said they thought they belonged to the mission (so, if they belong to the mission you can take them with out asking????) Anyway, I don't think we got the passport back.
Long comment again. I guess I am good (or bad) at doing that. :)
Your move was a blessing to us in more ways than one. We enjoyed the time with you, even as tiring as it was we had a lovely day with you and your family...We really enjoyed hanging out that evening with you at your dad's house. That's the most time I've spent with Mike and Kim and it topped the day off nicely. Tell your dad & Mike again that we appreciated their generosity...the pizza was great! We are also greatful for being the recipients of many of your downsizing items...our school rooms smells so fresh these days with our new air purifier! ;) I love you lil' sis-in-law!

I miss you all. Hope things are somewhat back to normal. How are the children doing in their new home, bedrooms, etc? When are you coming back to visit? I need hugs from my grandchildren and of course you too.How soon can you come back? Did you plant flowers, herbs or anything yet? Love ya. Mom/granny
