All this packing after 30 years of marriage and living in this house for 14 years, is a trip down memory lane! It gets kind of emotional at times. We're trying to think sensibly, but some things that wouldn't mean a thing to anyone else are being moved yet again. Don't get me wrong, I am chunking a lot of stuff. But last night I ran across the dress I wore on my very first date with my hubby. I showed it to him and he recognized it too. So it's getting moved for the 10th time. The first time was when I got married. We moved several times during the first few years of marriage. Then we stayed put for 10 years and now 14 years. I only moved once while living with my parents. So all total, this is my 11th time to move. (I didn't count moving to a college dorm room for a year.)
How about you? Are you a mover or a stay putter? What senseless things do you keep keeping just because of the memory?

We moved a Lot when I was a kid but since my marriage (38yrs this yr) we've moved 3 times..in our present house for 36 of those yrs...hughugs
I used to move a lot, but we stayed at our country cottage for 17 years. Whew! We accumulated much too much stuff during that time! I'll have to take off my socks to count up how many different addresses I've had in my life. Might have to borrow some of DH's fingers too. LOL. Have fun with the packing! I'll be packing again in about 4 months!
Growing up we moved A LOT, over 10 times in 10 years. After I left home, I moved quite a few times, but 1 month after Hubby and I got married we bought our house and have lived here for 10+ years. We've thought about moving, but I think all that moving growing up kinda scarred me, I like staying put. :)
I'm a gypsy~what can I say? We never stayed put long,and I carry on the tradition. :)
Hope everything goes smoothly for you guys!
