(1000) that's the number that we are now missing! In square feet that is! And do you know how much "stuff" you can put in 1000 sq feet? A LOT!
So let me catch you all up - we put our house on the market on the June 27th and seven days later after three showings, we had an offer on the table! Unbelievable? We think so and we can only give the credit to God! We prayed for Him to bless this decision and bring us a buyer - we just didn't expect an answer so quickly!
That is were the 1000 sq feet comes into the story! We are now in the process of moving into our 5th wheel and trying to decide what is "important" or absolutely "have to have" which certainly takes on a whole new meaning when you look around the 283 sq feet of our new home! I tease Randy about going back to his roots - the Sweds are well know for their approach to living in small spaces - a fact that is demonstrated by their very successful and world-wide chain of IKEA stores - one of which is opening in the Denver area in just 11 days! That coincidence alone is enough make me positive that this adventure is providential! (Just kidding!) And I won a $100 gift card in their pre-opening contest - Hum?!
Right now our very large shop/garage is piled high with "treasures" that we are sure someone will be excited to find at our upcoming garage sale. (Stop by next Saturday July 23rd if you are in the neighborhood - I'm sure we have something you need!) But deciding what is a "sale item" and a "to-be-stored item" is a bit of a challenge and not without some bantering between each other. Randy's definition of "treasure" is not necessarily the same as mine and visa versa. Then there is the question of "to store or not to store"? Oh how do we get ourselves so encumbered by so much stuff? Thankfully - at this point at least - our tentative closing on the house is August 27th so we do have some time to sort this all out.
