Weekend Rumaging

The nesting phase has clearly kicked into gear. This weekend, I've cleaned out two closets. That might not sound like much, but I've been able to ignore sorting through those closets for years. It's like emotional time travel.

Oh the pictures:

Picture of me with my mom, sisters, and grandma when everyone lived in the same state and everyone was up to hiking around and taking adventurous day trips. Pictures of the wedding to the ex. Pictures of beloved cats and dogs, now long gone. Pictures of friends from summer camp. Pictures of friends from high school and college. Pictures of friends babies. There is so much hope in those pictures. Looking back from the future, I can say that nothing has turned out as planned, but everything has turned out just fine. Things are going well, but it did leave a sore spot near my heart for those who aren't here anymore. Sometimes I wish I could bundle everyone up and keep them forever.

And the future will see the "office" converted into a nursery. That will be exciting too. I've been shopping for cribs.
