Full boxes and empty walls

We are on box #43. #43?!?! what??? We have that much stuff?!!? While most of these boxes are relatively small, but I am pretty sure our possessions have a breeding problem! :) Just under 6 years ago Bryan came to college in 4 suitcases and I came in 2 suitcases and a box. Now we are at box #43, it is crazy how things accumulate! Stacks of cards from dear friends, t-shirts caught at Vandy sporting events, lightly used textbooks, 4 cans of silly string - you know, all of the 'essentials' - have all been carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and strategically put into a box. Photos and shelves have been stripped from the walls, dresser and bookcase emptied, couch and clock sold, I'm not sure if 'un-nesting' is the proper terminology for making your house messy/disorganized and your pantry baren, but I'm pretty sure that is what I have been doing all week. The countdown has begun - we are leaving Nasvhille February 2nd and traveling out west. Can't wait to see friends and family but we will miss our friends and church here in Nashville.
