I have realized that we only need about 1/4 of what a majority of us American's have in our homes. I don't feel like I hold onto things. We purge often, but probably not enough. In the 5 years that we were in our home, boy oh boy, kids grow and change and our needs do too. It's hard to say goodbye.
I feel like I said HELLO to so many things that I tucked away when we moved from Texas to here. There are some things I can't say goodbye to....
This.
"To Stacey my butterfly, I'll think of you every time I see a butterfly. Think of me and send me butterfly kisses!! Love, Dad"
I had a butterfly book tucked away and was going to put it in ONE of our MANY piles to donate.
Then I opened the front cover.
And lost it.
This book is now one of my most treasured possessions.
A bit of burning to do with my birthday candle. Ha!
This (and many other frames) is not going anywhere. Ever.
Josh's first class.
College days.
Another book I found.
For real?
Our first home. The good ole' days.
Remember the days? The TV's?!
I couldn't resist putting Lauren's SELF PORTRAITS through the years in here!
She has come along way.
