It is official - first the sign, now an active listing. We've been here over 20 years. So much stuff - last we had the garage sale. Quite successful - I'll send tips later. Although tip number one is if you live in a hot humid climate like Orlando it will be a waste of your time trying to put price stickers on anything before 8:30am - too wet! Why is it our "treasures" go from things we can't part with to things we will let go for 25 cents? I haven't even gone through the entire house not the attic. No more garage sales - charities only.
I am writing this mostly to deal with my own anxieties and to journal one woman's perspective about picking up and just moving cross country. We will be building our home out there on the ranch once we get to Colorado. Oh, and did I mention that we will be moving in with my brother-in-law who lives in Colorado during the build process - oh let's say about 8 months. He does have a beautiful place, a horse or two, a goat, a donkey and a few dogs of his own. Maybe my four-legged furry kids will learn how to be real dogs out there. I will be writing a lot to help others "learn" from my experience. We are taking a big leap of faith...
Next Decision: Movers? Too expensive. PODS? Not quite sure. "Move it ourselves." HE says. OK - so I will be calling the likes of Penske and/or Budget to see how much the trucks are..and let's not forget we need a storage facility in Colorado to keep our "stuff" until our home is built. Chime in if anyone has done this before -

Stuff is just stuff. It will make it, or it won't. You're good about not having too much extra stuff anyway. You can probaby make it with a can opener, some string and a toothbrush.
