Inspired by Jeremy, I dug up an old Facebook tag. For those of you used to expecting distinguished and profound posts from me, you’ll be so disappointed… For those of you who know me, this will assure you that I am still not distinguished and profound. I intercepted a note in 5th or 6th grade [...]
Between homes and in suitcases
Posted By Jeff on July 16th, 2009
It’s a really strange feeling to wake up in a hotel and realize that you literally have no home to go to. With all our belongings in transit on an 18-wheeler, all we have at present is what we packed into our vehicle. It’s liberating in a sense.
We woke up a little chilly from the AC blowing all night in our comfy room. We scarfed down pancakes at Cracker Barrel before leaving Jackson, Tennessee. Yet, while we’ve left one home and are anxious to establish a new one in Blacksburg, the in-transit-ness of our life at this moment is truly freeing. It also reminds me profoundly to enjoy simplicity.
We’ve stopped tonight in Knoxville, and tomorrow will end this small parenthesis of homelessness. These few hours of being “in-between” have been blessed. As the movers arrive and the chaos unpacks, I imagine the next several days will be a whirlwind.
But tonight as the family is lying in bed, with another cold AC blowing, we are… at rest. Thanks for your prayers that have made us so.
On this day...

I know exactly what you mean! When we moved to Heber in January, our house wasn’t ready, (and we ended up in a different house), so we lived in a vacation home for about 2 months! With all of our stuff still packed up and in a storage building. It felt like a never-ending vacation! Especially with very few bills to pay! But by the end, we were definitely ready to be in our house! Be safe tomorrow and have fun unpacking!

Glad to know the move is successful. At least you have AC. Most of Monticello is without power. Still praying for you guys as you settle down in your new home.
