Who knew....

Who knew we have so much crap filling our house up? We took the triplex off the market so now we are working on sprucing it up. We are not done, but super close. I did take before pictures and will post the after photos when it is complete. Here's the problem Kent and I have now that we are staying put, we have SO much stuff...things that really don't mean much to me, but are important to Kent. I am a super sentimental person, but I have a great memory and generally only need some photos to cherish the times. Kent has a collection of many items that are important to his family, his heritage and his memories. Life and marriage is about compromise, but wow, I am so not use to having so many "things." We laugh at how I love a tidy place, but this is a place for both of us to make a home out of it. I love everything we have done so far and I can't wait until things are put in storage, things are taken to Goodwill and the rest of the furniture arrives. Seattle's rainy times are here now and I think the new furnishings will help us survive another gray and cold winter.

On a positive and personal note I have finally hit the eating wall. I have been so out of control lately with my food so thankfully I woke up the other day and said enough is enough. I turned down several sweets from patients and threw away what little junk food was in the house. Kent and I are both ready to get back on track. There is a little embarrassment and frustration that I still have about how I sort of just quit the healthy lifestyle I use to live. What I will focus on though is the baby steps I will take again towards those positive goals of health. Plus my pants are so dang tight I might split the ass out!
