Oh What a Day.....
Oh what a day today is going to be! I finally (after weeks of rain) got the week I needed to have my garage sale. About a year and a half ago we had a major leak in the winter of 09. Water was spilling out under the house into the crawl space for 3 months. Because of this massive leak, we had black mold growing behind our walls and were forced to move out of the house we knew as home for four years. So not having anywhere to go, we had to put everything we owned into a storage shed and move in with my mother. This was a huge dose of humble pie considering I've been on my own since I was 15. This unfortunate arrangement was only suppose to be for a few months until we were able to find another rental. Well after 2 months, my husband got laid off and our few months turned into 6 months. Realizing my mother was a bit annoyed with us being there we decided to moved to North Carolina. We stayed with my mother in law, and worked for my father in law. Missing home like crazy we saved our money and moved back to Indiana and bought our first house. Now I have all this stuff I can't fit into my new house and my husband wants it gone to make room for new. I have to say that I agree with him, a fresh start would do us wonders. What he doesn't know is with the money i make off the garage sale, I'm going to buy him a guitar for fathers day. He has given me a wonderful gift by being able to stay home and raise our children. He has sacrifice many things to give our family the things we need and want. I think he'll be overly surprised and joyful, considering he's wanted one for several years now. So as I said before, "Oh What a Day".
