Packing

This week was spent getting our old apartment ready for a new family to move in. We are now living in another part of town, temporarily so that our UB team members can move their families. Our things will finally land in an empty apartment in order to be stored for one year while we are on home assignment.

So on four different mornings I would walk or drive over there ... usually via Seoul Street:


Climb the five flights of stairs:


Once there we packed. We cleaned. We boxed. We sorted. We decided. We organized. We piled everything in the corner.


Turned off the lights and left our apartment looking like this:


Lots of memories. This is where our kids have become young adults. We raised our puppies here. We went through culture shock here. We fought with each other and we comforted each other. We prayed together. It's been a good home for us. We will miss these walls even with it's leaky sinks and exploding light bulbs. I pray that the families who follow us there will also make many good memories here.
