This week is Spring break and the weather is beautiful. We are trying to “declutter” our house but
I’ve been trying to find any excuse I can to be outside and find something that
needs to be done out there. It’s crazy
because half of the country is having a blizzard right now, and that seems like
a different world to me. Robbie and I both grew up in Ohio where there were
four seasons. Helping my dad rake the leaves into huge piles and jump in them,
sledding until my fingers and toes were in pain from being cold, and what
seemed like forever in the summer for the pools to be opened were some of my
fondest memories as a child. Snow days
were the best! Waking up just to find out I could go snuggle back in my warm
bed was such an awesome feeling. As I
got older I couldn’t wait to move to the warm weather, I wanted the beach and
flip-flops. Now that I have lived away
for more than six years I have began to miss the snow and my winter boots! When we go home for Christmas I pray that it
snows so that I can take my daughter sledding.
Normally
when we get a break we try and take a trip to the beach because it is only two
hours from where we live. But this year
we decided to try and tackle some things with our house. I knew we had a lot of stuff, considering we
welcomed our first baby together here, and I almost had a nervous break down
when I sold some of her stuff for the first time in a garage sale. However, I’ve only ever had to move myself,
and then Robbie and myself into and out of apartments. We didn’t have much stuff before when we were
moving. I’m wondering if I am putting
off going through all of our stuff by using beautiful weather to be outside. There are those sayings that “It’s not going
anywhere,” “ It’ll be waiting for you there later,” but that’s my problem. I need it to go somewhere, and we are trying
to downsize, but how do I decide what makes the cut?
