Todd and I disagree on many things-usually not the important ones that matter in life, though. One of those non-important things is that I believe in dumping (as in 'in the garbage) and he believes in savings ( as in 'everything and anything that touches his fingers'). When we got married and moved into an apartment with no basement, we had to rent a storage space. It was one of the worst days of my life emptying that thing (with the help of my parents) and then transferring it to basement of our house. Boxes and boxes and boxes of things ranging from COLLEGE papers to previous jobs he has had. I won't even mention the golf magazines, articles, and balls!! UGH! One of my goals for this year is to clean out our basement so that only the necessary items are down there. I went through 6 humongous boxes of Elisabeth's old clothes and got rid of all of them. I also organized the Christmas, Easter, and Halloween boxes-nice and neat. He is still down there-because I feared if I didn't leave, I would file for divorce. The man will not let go of ANYTHING!!! Every drawer, box, cooler, bag, box-big and small-has something of his in it. And he can't just take a peek and pitch...he has to go through each and every item. If I could get away with taking a picture, I would. He is not too happy with me right now and I fear for my life when he reads this post-memorize it, my friends, because it probably won't be on here long :)
By the way-as we were sorting things-we found the date we started dating. March 30, 1988. Happy 20th Anniversary, My Sweet Little Pack Rat :)
