A project completed!!!!

Well, it's Monday after the holidays. Eric and I spent a lot of time together while he was off. It was great. We got a lot of projects done around the house. I was really excited about one in particular. We cleaned out the attic. What happened was when we bought the house and moved in, in 1997, we put a whole bunch of stuff up there. I hadn't seen some of these boxes since then. My husband was off for almost two weeks, so he and our neighbor friend took everything out of the attic. I went to Home Depot and picked up some storage containers and started organizing. I also threw out a ton of things. I had save the bridal magazines I used to organize my wedding from 1994. Isn't that crazy!!! I used my handy little label maker to label the outside of the boxes so that we'd know what was in there. I felt really good about that. My husband then put in a whole new floor in the attic so that we would have more space. Now what's really interesting is that the attic is not a walking attic. So, my wonderful husband is so handy, he converted it into an extra storage space. Now we can take out the stuff from the garage and actually park our car in there.....Hee hee. So now I am going through the rest of the house to see what I need to actually store and other stuff that can me donated or trashed. I don't really like garage sales too much, so sometimes I'd rather just give it away.

I am so happy we finally got that project done. It's was on our "short term goal" list and then moved to our "long term goal" list then on to our "someday" list. So that someday has arrived. YEAH!
