On Sunday, we had our Family Fire Sale. We’re moving to a house that doesn’t fit all of our furniture so it was time to give stuff away. After our Father’s Day breakfast, Brother rented the U-Haul and we packed up half of our belongings into the truck.

Brother got a new dresser, bookcase, chair, and futon. The parents got a new dining set and full bed. We also dropped off our entire office set at Jes’ parents’ house. Phew! To top it all off, Marie and Kenji have agreed to take the plasma for an undisclosed bargain price. Awesome.

It was pretty liberating getting rid of our stuff but it was also a little sad. The best thing about moving it all out is that I can now do a cartwheel in the dining room! Haha. But really, it’s just nice to have more room to clean, pack, and reorganize. Hanging out with the family all day was also a special treat and made the move much more memorable and bearable. Thanks for all your help, everyone!!
