It took me 2 weeks to do the necessary packing. Dez helped out during the weekends. All together we have about 20 boxes of stuffs to shift. We were very surprised with the amount of things that we accumulated over 3 years...
Besides the packing, we also have to shop for the necessary miscellaneous stuff such as utensils, containers (to keep charlene's med), detergent, mop, etc.... We also have to allocate time to clean the house, buy a new laptop (so that I can do work in the room when Charlene's sleeping), purchase the broadband plan, test out the modem, etc.... It was tiring and draining to do all these by ourselves (mostly, cos Dez's bro helped out in searching for the best laptop and broadband pricing). We often have to split up to maximise time.
We could have got help from my parents or parents-in-law. We could have got help from our cell-members or our friends, who had volunteered their services. But we choose not to... because we want to learn to be independent. And in a way, it was fulfilling to see our house being prepared by us step-by-step.
Besides independence, we also learnt to trust in the Lord... because we depend on Him for his guidance and energy level to tide us through this busy period.
With God, all things are possible!
P.S. We apologise for the long delay in updating the blog... we were so busy with the packing and shifting that we didn't have time to sit down and update the blog.
