Out With the Old

Just recently, I watched a couple of episodes of Hoarders. Watching that show gives me the intense desire to throw everything out! If I wasn't in the mood before to let go of things, I sure am now! I just so happen to be going through a bunch of boxes full of things that I've been holding onto for a long time. These things have been sitting in my little storage space for 10 years and it's time to get rid of the majority of that stuff. Some of these boxes have followed me from house to house and some are things that were boxed up at my parent's house (way back when I left home) that my dad no longer wanted to store for me. Memories upon memories have come flooding upon me as I open each box to discover what lay inside. I found items such as high school papers and dance pictures, my college diploma and wedding invitations, artwork I've done over the years and cards and letters from loved ones. But some of my favorite things I found were from one of the boxes that had been stored at my parents house for 15 years. That box was full of teen angst I tell ya. For my next Flashback Friday, I'm going to do a special post about the totally awesome gems I found. Stay tuned!
