I am the hoarder in our family. Really, I did not think my addiction was so bad, but Lorena thinks it is horrible. She and Christian spent the last several days selling stuff, throwing stuff away and moving stuff to a storage unit to empty our house for when the sale of the house closes in a little over a week. When that is complete all of our worldly goods will consist of a car and some stuff in a storage unit. It actually feels quite good. I am liking this minimalist thing a lot. We decided to take our time in buying our next house and this new sense of freedom has reinforced that thinking.
The move was a TON of work, not quite complete yet, but we are very, very thankful Christian offered to go to North Carolina to help Lorena. We could not have done it without him. In spite of all the work, I think this has been a good time for Lorena and Christian to be together.

We have decided to minimalize our material goods while we wait to see where we will land in the next few years. We have already sold a bunch of stuff. This is a picture of Christian putting a bunch of the rest of the stuff on Craig’s List. It actually feels very, very good. The funny deal is that we are only really intent on keeping mementos, the homeschool and other books we have not already sold, photos and a few pieces of furniture.
