Melissa and I started the dreaded job of packing today. It is always seems so overwhelming at first. Ah...where to begin! Mel and I both decided we have too many clothes. I need to simplify my life. My parents would be proud to know that I have a pretty significant give-away pile. If I haven't worn something in the last year, I am tossing it. This is hard for me to do. For example, I sometimes feel the need to keep an old pair of shoes for camping purposes, or mowing the lawn. Really though, when was the last time I mowed a lawn?! Old t-shirts also come in handy for service projects, and cleaning the house. In the last couple of years, I feel like I've moved quite a bit. Provo-DC-SLC-NYC-DC. Hopefully DC will be a place to settle for a few years.
Mel had to take a break!

I don't like the whole packing and moving thing, so I am sorry! Hopefully it won't be too bad and will go quickly for you! Isn't it so wierd to see everything bare? Hope your livin' up your last NYC days!!!!
Michele I have the same clothes issues. I tend to hold onto things for too long. And then when I say "I have nothing to wear!" My husband looks at me like I'm crazy but I really meant "I have nothing NEW to wear." Now that I have a sis-in-law to give away my old clothes to I've been getting rid of things better. Anyway! Good luck getting all of that packing done... it's hard work!
