After two weeks in Aurora getting settled in the fifth wheel, sending out a few resumes, and getting Ben in school, we drove back to Trinidad yesterday to start the packing process.
We have had most of our household in a storage unit for three years now due to the fact we moved into a small three bedroom apartment. In order to get the current furniture and other miscellaneous item from the apartment into the storage unit, it had to be cleaned out and re-packed. We started the process at 8:30 this morning and did not finish until 5:00 pm. We got rid of so much stuff between taking it to the dump or to the used furniture place here in town. I think we made five trips to the dumpsters or the dump and four to the 2nd hand store. There is now about 1/4 of the stuff in the storage unit that there was originally.
It feels so good to know that we will now be able to put our furniture, kitchen and miscellaneous stuff in there until we find a place to live in Aurora or some city around the metro area. First, we have to find jobs and make sure we have the deposits we will need to rent a house or apartment.
I started the packing process here at the apartment tonight. Didn't get very far due to the sore back, legs and arms from earlier today. I did get my china hutch packed for the most part. We plan on coming back in two weeks with Mom and maybe Dad in tow to help with packing things that David and James will not need for the last few weeks they are here. That will give them the room to clean a little bit each day so that there won't be so much to clean as we move the last bit of stuff out.
Well it is well past midnight and if I plan on getting to church tomorrow, I need to sleep. I don't think Brother Dave will appreciate me falling asleep in church. Then it will be time to pack the car with the rest of the stuff to go back to Aurora for the next two weeks.
Take care all and God Bless Everyone!!
