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?
