It’s Thanksgiving which in my family means food, family, football (Go Cowboys!!!), and more food. Today, I found myself thinking back over the past year and what I am personally thankful for. Of course, there is my family, my wonderful husband, my super awesome kids, my friends, a beautiful home and a million little things that mean so much to me, like coffee and chocolate. But today, one thing stood out as I thought back over the past year- auctions. When Matt and I met five years ago, at an auction house in my hometown, like many couples falling in love, we made plans and had lots of hopes and dreams for the future. That plan for us was- get married, hopefully have a couple of kids, and by the time our kids were in school one of us could, hopefully, quit our day job and do auctions full time. I should know by now that when I make plans, they usually don’t go as I planned. And that’s because GOD had a better plan all along.
In a few weeks, Matt and I will celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary and on the same day we will hold our first auction in our new Auction Center. To some people, it may be just a building, but to us it’s a dream come true. We are truly so thankful that we have the opportunity to make a living doing something we love. We have met so many wonderful people and have become lifelong friends with many of them. We love to hear the stories that go along with the items that people buy and sell. We still get excited when we get to look inside a house at the things a family wants to sell. Unpacking day, is like Christmas day as a kid all over again, but for us it happens before every auction. Today, I am thankful for many, many things but most of all I am thankful for those four walls at 116 E. 4th Street in Earlville, Iowa and everything that those four walls stand for- family, friends, and hopefully many, many more auctions to come.
Here are just a few photos of those four walls being built and I will post some more on my Auction Mom Facebook page as well. See you on December 3rd at 116 E. 4th Street inside those four walls.
