I love this time of year! Spring is my favorite season...I even enjoy cleaning in the spring. Last weekend I tackled our messy garage. When Brandon and I moved into our house we put everything that didn't fit in the house in the garage, so there were boxes piled up, and I didn't even know what was in them. I took everything out, separated stuff for a garage sale, and put what was left on shelves in the garage. Ahhhh. I feel like my mind is less cluttered just cause my garage is.
I also came upon some boxes of stuff I forgot I was saving. I have several books from childhood and even some dolls to pass on to my kids someday. I also found a box of our extra wedding invitations and programs. It took me almost 2 years, but I finally threw them away. When I told Brandon, he said, "Oh no! There's still someone I needed to invite!" I don't know why it took me so long to let go of them. I even came across some wedding presents I forgot I had, so it will be nice to bring them into the house and put them to use.
The past few nights I've spent in my newly organized garagae pricing things to put in the sale. Ordinarily, I wouldn't consider this a fun activity, but the weather has been so nice I've enjoyed doing it. I love that it doesn't get dark until after 8:00 and it stays warm all day. It's so nice to be outside on these warm spring days before it gets really hot like it inevitably will in Abilene...even if it's just outside cleaning the garage.
