We are moving next month and decided most of our household goods are not really worth taking along, since we will be packing and moving ourselves instead of having the company do it.
I put a bunch of stuff for sale on Craig's List. Even though it feels like a breath of fresh air to have more free space in our apartment, a lot of these items have sentimental value. Like our famous free couch, for example. We sold it a couple weeks ago for ten bucks. I know, I know, selling an item we got for free?? But it takes some time and trouble to get rid of an item, especially dealing with less than reliable buyers through Craigslist, so the few dollars we asked just covered our bases. And I felt truly sad to see the couch go.
When the items were being taken from our home, Lo Lo seemed really startled. He kept running back and forth, as though not sure if he should try to stop them or what. But finally he decided the best course of action would be helping move the couches out. Pictured above is Lo Lo helping move out our ugly red/gold loveseat cushions we got in our student days at BYU. I wasn't quite as sad to see this item of furniture depart. But still, it holds so much memory! Ah, passage of time. Moving on.

O.K.; Is Jerry maintaining the same work local? What is the purpose of this move?
I know what you mean, I still miss our first married couches that we got for super cheap in UT. Whenever I see pictures that the couches are in I stop and think awe...I miss those couches...tear! And we sold ours for more than we paid too. :)
Oh, we are just moving across town to be closer to jerry's office and save a little money on rent.
I was in the same boat before my trip out here to Utah I packed everything and got rid of a ton of stuff. but thankfully I didn't have a ton of attachment to most of it. hope the move goes smoothly.
He's so cute helping out! I'm glad he was able to sort it out in his mind and come to a proactive and positive conclusion!
