Catching Up! (4)



Jan 10th...
This picture is huge for me. This is a box that I packed to give to Good Will and there are 2 more just like it. I decided that since this is a "new life" for us down in TN, I need to get rid of some of my baggage. I don't even know how many stuffed bears I collected as a kid, but the number is big! Granted, not all of them made the trip with us, some got left behind unintentionally in storage at my parents house, but almost everyone that made the trip down here went into these boxes! Once I made the big move and started saying goodbye to the bears, the rest was easy, books, pictures from high school, old trinkets and momentos that I could care less about and have just been following me around from one storage shed to the next...all gone! I let myself keep one box to fill with stuff I thought I might actually miss...other than that, toodleoo junk!

Today we got a surpise chunk of money in the bank to compensate our trip, and one of our top priorities was a new computer, so when Derrick leaves for Afghanistan he can know that I have a good, fast computer to keep in touch with him the best I can. He plans on getting a laptop once he's there, so now I will be able to upload pictures and videos of our kids to help keep him closer to home. We actually had to buy and return every piece a computer could possibly have before they dummies at Best Buy finally sold us one that wasn't off the junk pile, but it's all done and over with and now are computer rocks!

Cael loves Toy Story (even though he's never seen the movie, I can't find it ANYWHERE.) I bought him a Toy Story zip-up jacket today and he looked so cute I wanted that to be my picture of the day. This was the best I could get out of him. He would stand for me and say "Cheese!" and before he was even done saying it, he was in my lap trying to see the picture I didn't have time to take. I just went with it and took what I could.
