That's what we are. In getting ready for the move we are going through everything desperately trying to downsize. I can't even believe all the junk we have...let's just say I have bank statements for our checking account from more than 7 years ago. Hello...that's insanity.
Anyway, we also have a habit of keeping cards, notes, etc. that people give us and that we give each other. We had an entire plastic file crate full of stuff. So this afternoon we sat on the floor of our bedroom and went through all the cards.
It brings back a lot of emotions...friends who are no longer together, friends who we aren't friends with anymore...and from the writing on the card you'd think we would have been friends to the end of time. It just goes to show how things change over time.
I found one birthday card from my best friend, Sonja, that made me laugh out loud. At the bottom of the card it said, "P.S. You look young and beautiful for your age." Yikes. The card was toward the bottom of the crate so it has to be from a while ago...I had to call her and read it to her...she can't remember why she wrote it but she said, "You must have been stressing over wrinkles or something."
We were able to slim it down so the crate is only a quarter full...not too shabby for a couple of sentimental saps!
