It has been a little over a year since we moved into this house. Even as we were packing stuff up from our old house, we were saying that we needed to have a yard sale. After sixteen years of marriage, we had collected a crazy amount of stuff. So as we unpacked all our stuff in the new house, we started setting stuff aside to put in the yard sale, which we would have soon.
But you know how life is - it just keeps coming at you, and things you meant to do just sometime don't happen. Pretty soon it was fall, and then winter, and we said we would have a yard sale in the spring. So spring came and went, and there was just something going on every Saturday. Even when there wasn't something going on that Saturday, there was usually so much going on during the week that I didn't have time to sort through stuff and get everything ready. Sure, I guess we could have just opened the garage, invited people to look through our junk, and make us an offer if you find something good. But I really wanted to organize things and have everything in the yard sale that I wanted to get rid of.
Two weeks ago we decided that that Saturday was the one, and we were finally going to do it. But one thing led to another, and Friday night rolled around, and nothing was ready. So we said that the Saturday in two weeks would be good. We would do the yard sale then. And, miracle of miracles, it looks like it's actually going to happen. We have stuff set out on tables, and the Captain built me some cool clothes racks to hang clothes on. I've gone through nearly every box in the house and found tons of stuff to sell. So here we go! After a year of saying we were going to do it, tomorrow we finally are! And I'm sure we would still be putting if off without the Lord's help.
