Got The Itch

I got the itch to organize from looking at Teresa's post about her and Donna's little organizing project. My closet has been bothering me for a while, however I felt like it was such a huge task I may not finish, which it beyond irritating. But today was the day, I just dove right in, and boy was it great.

This is the before pick.

And the After pic. Empty and no junk on top of it. Since we bought our desk a couple of years ago I no longer need the this cabinet. It was being used for all the stuff I didn't want to deal with but now it is going on the street with a free sign on it, woo hoo. So as I am going threw tons of kids projects, report cards, birthday cards, anniversary cards that you just can't toss because the words are so sweet, baptism certificate, high school transcripts, and tons of other random papers, I find another random book, um no comment? But the best thing I found was Our Mission and Vision Statement Daniel and I wrote during our pre-marriage class 7 years ago. As I am reading it, I start to cry. I remember all the hard times we went though, and as I am reading those words I realize how far we have come. Almost all the things we wanted for ourselves have happened. This is what some of the lines read.

We will be able to communicate about how we feel and what we want from each other on an intimate level.

We will have a deep desire to serve the Lord together.

We want our children and grandchildren to see the love of Christ through us.

We will be able to say how we feel about each other on a regular basis.

We will have an evenly yoked marriage where we help each other through our weaknesses.

We will be able to show affection and love toward each other for our children and ourselves.

We will honestly appreciate each other everyday for who we are and who we make each other to be.

We will have a deep trust for each other and be sympathetic to each otherneeds.

I feel truly blessed.
