Ok,
As the countdown gets closer and more and more things still need to be done Kristyn and I went ahead and put our furniture on Craigs List, even though we still have 8 weeks before we completely move out of our apt. Our rational… our stuff isn’t that good and it is going to take some time to sell it all.
So on Sunday we took pictures and wrote up catchy little descriptions using all the familiar words that we have all heard before; the hutch is “gently used” the couches are “mocha” not brown and the bookshelves are stained a nice “cherry” color. I thought people would see right through our dazzling vocabulary and just pass over our stuff. Boy was I wrong.
We posted the stuff at 4:00p.m. on Sunday. By 8:00 the next morning we had some 25-30 e-mails of people wanting to come and look it over or buy it straight away. We sold our couches (which I bought from Alan Jacob/Whitworth for like $30.00) at 6:30 p.m. on Monday; one day after we posted for $150, how crazy is that. We have other people coming in tonight to look at the rest of our stuff, so things are looking good.
The bad part is this. We have another 8 weeks to go and we don’t have furniture in our living room. It is going to be a long couple of weeks, but at least we have more space to pack things up, right?

Oh good another blog to follow. I'm becoming a junky at living through others. A friend just completed his bike trip from Washington to Iowa so I had a hole to fill. I'll put you above the guys paddling the Mississippi from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Your adventure is going to be so cool. Looking forward to following along and seeing pictures. Good luck. Love to both of you. Aunt Sherri
