Taking some time to think...

I'm doing lots of reorganizing and de-junking, particularly in our office (which is currently a dumping ground for whatever we don't have a place for).  But no more of that! I'm getting this bad boy organized!

Today I had some interesting finds.  In no particular order:

* Our camera!! (I was slightly excited about this, it's the small, convenient one that's been missing for months).

* Journal notes written about my labor and delivery with Cole.  Pretty intense.  Brings back a lot of memories.  You can read them if you want. They are here.

* Some baby clothes that it's time to get rid of. Mostly just teensy little socks, some bibs, blankets and other small things.  It's not like I don't want them--we just don't have room to store them! I know this sounds cliche, I really do--but it was like each pair of socks I threw into the D.I. box was breaking my heart a little bit more. My stupid body.

* On the bright side though, I found a letter I had written myself 16 years ago.  It was fun to see what my goals were back then and how many of them I accomplished. :) I seriously want to write down a list of things for my Bucket List and start checking things off.  Not that I'm worried about dying but I think it's important to have goals!

 Goals as a YW


I am such a sentimental person, it seems like every one of these items holds so much meaning to me.  I loved going through the camera and looking at the pictures I haven't had a chance to upload.  Obviously the journal entries that Danny and my Mom did were pretty important to me, the baby clothes were like ripping my heart out and then the letter to myself from the 14 year-old-me made me smile.  Too many emotions for one day! I need to go do something else for a while.

I love that your letter to yourself is so realistic and attainable! My old notes to myself were completely ridiculous! Hahaha! I was such a dork!
