We recently were informed of our opportunity to enjoy Seminary housing this fall! We will be living off campus, in a two bedroom apartment. I'll send more address/contact details personally as the time comes. We don't plan to move until the 2nd of August. We're still hoping for our house to here to sell, but that's not looking very promising. We know that God will take care of the details one way or another. We will be meeting soon with our realtor to discuss options and ideas for our house.
Cora is accustomed to the idea that we will be moving. But the poor girl has no idea of how long two months is or that moving means we won't come back like we do after vacation. Some days she asks us, with concern, if we'll be taking certain items with, like her bed or the Tahoe, or Gidget. Those are hard questions to answer, because we will be leaving behind or passing on a lot of things that we love and can't take with us. We've been gradually purging extras out of our possession, but more purging is yet to come. Other times, when we are cleaning the house in preparation for a showing she asks, "Are we moving today?" with excitement and hope! I think she thinks she's excited...
I have so many mixed emotions. I'm excited for what's ahead, and yet I'm so sad to leave this life behind. There is some saying about what makes a house a home, and I know those things will come with us to make our new apartment our home, also. But this house holds the memories of my children as newborns, toddlers, and laughing moments as a family. It represents a time of our life. A good time. I will miss this house.
