Do I get a freebie on moving day?
Because … I have no real post for today. But today is our twelfth move, and while moving can be a pain, there are also a few reasons why moving can be great.
Twelve Reasons Why Moving is Great
1. It’s the only time you vacuum under the bed. (At least it’s the only time I vacuum under the bed.)
2. You find that lost mailbox key. (To the mailbox you’ll no longer be using.)
3. You get to wear your favorite jeans with holes in the knees and that hooded sweatshirt you love. {Jeff gets to wear his old camo shorts that he wears for every move.)
4. Pizza on paper plates.
5. You save money on groceries when you force yourself to eat everything out of the freezer.
6. KATU Channel 2 camera crew shows up to film your move. (Ok that’s just this one … hilarious! More on that story later!)
7. You can go hog wild on Craigslist selling stuff and make lots of money.
8. Men get to lift heavy stuff and grunt. Men love that.
9. Women get to watch them lift heavy stuff and grunt. Men really love that.
10. You’re guaranteed at least one embarrassing moment when some personal item is found under the dryer or the bed.
11. You get to creatively make do with whatever your new digs bring. (I once hung all my kitchen items on the wall because I only had one drawer. I bet you have a fun story one too!)
12. You get this gift: A fresh start. A new chapter. A blank sheet of lined paper.
Anticipating what our gracious God will write on this new page…
{We’d so appreciate prayers today for a smooth and safe transition?
Thanks so much for your grace, and for reading…}

Happy moving day, friend!
Exciting, Kari! From a person who has moved only 2 times in her entire 30 years, you amaze me! Sorry we couldn’t help this time. 🙂 Can’t wait to hear the story about KATU!
Praying a safe and fun move! Happy Moving! 🙂
Where are you from? KATU is the station I watch on channel two in Newberg Or not far from Portland. That is the only news channel I watch.
so funny… I guess happy moving?
would love to know the story of why KATU was at your house.
Best wishes with the move! I am finally re-finding your blog through Lacey 🙂 The first time, I didn’t put it together, but I think you know my husband from childhood ~ Jeremy Fraijo?
I just spent hours {it seems} reading through old posts. I smiled and teared up after reading the story of you and Jeff. So inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
