Why's all that stuff for sale?



If you’re friends with me on FB and at this point all 7 of my “followers” are personal friends so I’m guessing you are; then you’ve seen the numerous “For Sale” posts I’ve been putting up.  We seem to be selling an inordinately large amount of items. This observation will no doubt lead you to question why we are selling so much stuff. I mean, sure everyone who is PCSing or ETSing sells things but who needs to get rid of that much? This line of questioning will inevitably be followed by a couple of possibilities.
 

A)     We are hoarders & need to bring our level of stuff down to a
         level the movers can actually work with.

B)      We have a side business of refabbing furniture & other things.

C)      We are actually cat burglars who can’t figure out how to swipe things of value and therefore
          have ended up with tons of junk and need to get rid of it quickly before we are caught.

or

D)     We are selling 98% of everything we own & moving into an 18ft. travel trailer because
          we happen to be slightly insane.

Well…despite some people’s idea, we are not hoarders, and while option B is somewhat true it isn’t on a grand scale. That leaves us with C or D. You know, when I was younger I always wanted to be a cat burglar; it sounded mysterious and full of intrigue but alas, when you have kids it’s much better (and easier) to raise them when you are with them rather than from a prison cell.

That leaves us with D.  

Yes, our family of 5 (plus Foxy- the dog) will be moving into a travel trailer.

Yes, it is only 18 ft. long.

Yes, we are slightly insane.

There are a number of reasons we are making this decision and be assured that I will share them soon. As for now, I must go wake Swink4 up since she has decided to sleep the day away but we have plans so her beauty rest will have to wait.

grace & peace friends,

  1. Man, I really starting to think the cat burglar business was going to pay off. But I guess you're right about raising kids from jail, can be a bit difficult I'm sure.
    I agree you are all a bit crazy to move into an 18 ft trailer, but I am a bit jealous. I'm sure you will have a wonderful adventure!
