Breathe

I can enjoy breathing now. So much is coming together and it feels great! I even have some pictures out. Oh how I missed the pictures! Being unpacked and having the space to really go through all these boxes had been an eye opener for me. I have been able to see all my stuff. I have this to say to the world - do not give me candles, flower vases or kokopelli items! Where did they all come from?! (I do love Kokopelli - obviously - but that little guy is threatening to take over.) That and #2 pencils. I don't even know if I have a pencil sharpener! Why I have two unopened packs I don't know. I also have an abundance of baskets and boxes. But seeing as they are functional I won't complain about that. They have been used and reused all over the house already.

I also have something to say about our Master Closet. Wow. I fit everything in there and we still have room. I'm talking winter, spring, summer and fall. And no, I'm not looking to fill it with more stuff (well, new clothes are exciting but I will continue to purge first, then shop). Even though we have more room for everything I do not want to pack it all in with more. I hope we can continue to live with some spaciousness and with what we need - not junk that takes up space. I want to love our house, not feel overwhelmed by it. So far so good.

Next on the agenda - our New York trip. We will be going up next week for a few days to be with the fam. We will have 4 full days plus the travel days but somehow it still feels like it will be a short trip. There is always so much visiting I want to do. I can't wait to see the sibs and give my brother and SIL a big "I can't believe you're going to be parents" hug!
