About Me

When we decided to move to a new state, I realized that we needed to get organized. Instead of doing our normal thing of just throwing items into boxes, I started paying more attention to how we were doing things. I gathered together a whole bunch of boxes, and then we went through all of our things to throw away items that we didn't need.
