Cleaning!

I went home the weekend of the 13th. It was a cold rainy weekend and the kids and I needed something to do. Courtney and Jeremey were going to camp out at the lake and that didn't work out. So, the kids and I headed to Grand Haven. My mom always loves when the kids come to play and they always have something new to do!

My dad put me to work! The deal was that before I left I had to clean out some of my "old" high school stuff out of the basement. Once I started I couldn't stop. Some memories made me laugh others made me want to cry.

What was I thinking keeping most of this all these years?....but I have to say my old stonewashed guess cut off shorts FIT! My mom asked if I wanted help...but I informed her she wouldn't get much amusement out of some of it. There were posters of high school friends, love notes, and old report cards. Friends that I didn't recognize anymore and others I wish I could find again. Needless to say, it was time for it to be either out of my parents basement or laid to rest in a dumpster!

I did find my old pound puppy (Julies mom actually made for me in 3rd grade) which Sam and Tyler loved! I have always joked for years, the only thing I went without growing up was a REAL pound puppy...but now I am so happy that I have this one! Thanks, Mrs. Huntoon!!!!
