Clutter!

We are, and have been, extremely busy packing. We will be moving in 2 weeks to our new house!! Yay!!! If there is anything that I can learn from this whole experience, its that even if you don't think that you've collected a ton of junk, you probably have. For the past 2 years we have lived in an apartment that I honestly think is the smallest area of space that you could possibly fit 2 people in and live comfortably...... As we have been packing I have been finding things that I haven't seen in 2 years. I guess if I didn't need them thus far, I won't need them in the future, so I have been trying to throw away everything I can. 

Some of the items I have found that I had given up for lost:

1.) A half-dozen of my favorite pens. They were luckily recovered in my closet, somehow the whole bag of them had fallen behind my laptop case.

2.) My favorite work shirt.

3.) My new Alicia Keys CD, this has only been missing since Christmas.

4.) Shoes! A pair of black heels that I used to wear to work all of the time.....I didn't even realize I had missed them until there they were, looking at me out of my yarn bucket.

5.) Last but not least, my favorite jacket. I have loved this jacket for years and I haven't seen it since we moved here. I put it on last night and it was warm and cuddly, just like I remembered it. Then, I had to put it away again because I started sweating after the 30 seconds I had it on.

This is a picture of some of our boxes. Its a bad, bad picture since its from my phone, but I think its representative of what our apartment looks like at the moment.
