In the last 10 years, I have lived with my parents for probably a grand total of 1 of them. I went to college, then I thought I needed to live on my own for awhile to prove my independence. After a couple of years of that I moved to my grandma's house. Then for about 4 months before I got married I lived with them again. What was I ever thinking??? The only time I should have lived away was for college.... Oh what would life be like if we could rewind??? Anyway. Andrew and I are now coming upon our 3 year wedding anniversary and I still had a lot of my stuff at my parents house. Really the only things I took with my when I got married were clothes that fit and some furniture. It almost looked like I hadn't taken anything. Well, my parents are about to totally remodel their house, so my mom bribed me with furniture if I would go clean my crap up. Meredith and I were both in the same situation. She had a lot of crap over there. I had old clothes, formal dresses from all sorts of occasions, all of my memories from junior golf, high school, college, the days I worked and traveled a lot. There were boxes and boxes of stuff. Let's just say we had quite the day reminiscing. The best was when I found a picture of Meredith and I in cheer leading outfits (who knows why because neither of us were ever cheerleaders), but at the same time I found the picture, she found the uniforms. She told me she would pay me $100 if I could get it on..... I will make her pay up. Then she decided to put on everything she found. It was quite funny.
It is amazing how much crap one can accumulate over the years. Let's just say we sent an entire truck full of stuff to the DI and filled my dad's entire dumpster with stuff. I managed to cram the stuff I thought was still important like year books, pictures, awards, etc. into 2 boxes. It was a lot of work, but actually kind of fun. I earned a nice bookshelf as my reward which I am really excited about.
It is amazing what happens to a body after high school. The college 5, then the newly wed 10 and put a baby on top of that... will I ever fit in that outfit again?? At least
Merz has to give me $100. It may come in the form of baby sitting and waxing, but after that, I will be paid. How about her spirit fingers... And how about those white biker shorts....
She is a dork.
Believe it or not, we actually got it all cleaned out in one day.
