Moving Out

We moved out of our lovely rented house in Croydon Park on Thursday after weeks of packing. We packed and labeled 30 boxes before we ran out of time and started dumping things into boxes even as the removalists were taking our things into the truck. We really enjoyed living in Croydon Park, so close to our old bible college and with our lovely backyard where I started my first garden patch.
After we moved out we had to get the house cleaned and ready for the real estate agent. Above are photos of two people from church who came to help. It was so encouraging to have people from church helping us because we sure needed it. Thanks, Bec, Nat, Ginnie, Keish, Josh, Alistair (Felicity for volunteering her sons) and Luan.
On Saturday we had our garage sale. We sold a reasonable amount of things but still had too many things left unsold. It was hard seeing some of our nice things go so cheaply but getting rid of a lot of things we didn't need was cathartic too.
This is the 'stuff' left over which as you can see litters my in-law's backyard. Hopefully we can sort through most of this and clean up their yard and house before we go in the next two weeks. So much to do ... my head is spinning.
