On Friday, Steven left work a little early and flew down to Auburn to help load up all our stuff on a HUGE U-Haul. Seriously, I don't know if I've ever seen one that big. Early Saturday morning, Steven met his mom, brother, two uncles, cousin, T-Burdg, Michael, Betsy, Dad, and Taylor at the storage unit. Steven said it was freezing, but everyone was upbeat and completely helpful. Afterward, Aunt Janet hosted a family brunch at her house before he got on the road. Meanwhile, Mr. Steve (who was supposed to be on a "business trip") drove up from Myrtle Beach and helped with the move. Poor Steven didn't get home until after midnight Saturday.
After church on Sunday, the move began! For the past few weeks people had been volunteering to help, so Sherry compiled a list and gave each person a specific job. We had over 30 people at our house helping Sunday afternoon. What a blessing! I have never been around a church that was so committed to serving others. The people at Asbury came over not only without complaining, but actually happy to help. What a testimony of how all Christians should act. I have already learned so much from the members of Asbury, and I know that I will continue to grow and learn more as the years go by.
For lunch, some of the ladies bought a ton of chicken and BBQ from Smithfield's, which is a crowd favorite around here. I will never be able to thank everyone who helped on Sunday enough. I was truly touched! Thank you, Mr. Steve, for the pictures!
Status on house as of right now...We love it. It's a COMPLETE mess. It's starting to feel more and more like home. We're happy and blessed.
