I might want to throw out my boots because I am SO TIRED of wearing them, but thanks to your words of wisdom I will most certainly hang on to them. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll have to prepare a bat story to post later on today...

I definitely want to hear some of your stories.<BR/><BR/>Definitely weed things out when you move! We had about 6 weeks before we knew we were moving across the state, and it was great incentive to get rid of things. I think I filled the church's dumpster twice (shhhh....). And I think we supplied an entire Goodwill store. But word of caution: DON'T give away the shoes you wore all winter just because it is Spring and you will "probably" have another pair by next winter, because you won't. :)Smith Family Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02438353718649673656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981767720324825719.post-17575544465939240872008-03-04T15:34:00.000-05:002008-03-04T15:34:00.000-05:00Actually, half of it is stuff I most certainly don...Actually, half of it is stuff I most certainly don't need. There is one closet I haven't really, truly, looked in for at least six months, which tells me it's not holding anything of importance. :-D You hit the nail on the head - one day I realized that if I had a house three times bigger, I would probably have three times the stuff. Why is that??Erin K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07686443938324656578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981767720324825719.post-31958416603250299662008-03-04T15:26:00.000-05:002008-03-04T15:26:00.000-05:00Yay! Welcome to the world of blogging.RE: the ho...Yay! Welcome to the world of blogging.<BR/><BR/>RE: the house issue . . . when Kyle and i got married, we moved into an apartment that was about twice the size of the apartment I first lived in. I had no idea what I would put in all of the SPACE! But eventually, we filled it up and needed to move because we didn't have enough room. So now we live in a fairly sizable house for three people. But we managed to find ways to fill every nook and cranny with stuff. <BR/><BR/>I wish, when I was living in that apartment, I had just weeded through all of the STUFF and just had a huge garage sale. In fact, I think I'm going to work on that with our house next spring.<BR/><BR/>Moral of the story: Sometimes I fantasize about simplifying and going back to the apartment days where I didn't have so muhc space to collect stuff. I know your situation is probably different becasue it's stuff that you actually need, but I thought I'd share my thoughts. :) <BR/><BR/>I'm gonna add you to my blogroll when I get home!Kyle Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052056873778203897noreply@blogger.com
