Number 29. Sort through clothes and get rid of what I do not wear.

This is something that my mom used to require all of us to do at least once a year. I've found that since she passed away, I have neglected this "spring cleaning" ritual. It needed to be done quite desperately, however. My fluctuating weight has given me a multitude of sizes that I simply cannot wear anymore. From my former size 8 up to my heaviest size 14 and everything in between.

All in all, I collected 6 bags of dresses, sweaters, pants, tops, and shoes. They will be going straight to good will the next time I go into town. This means that I have even less to move when we make our way back to Tuscaloosa this summer! :) Oh, did I forget to mention that? My husband got offered a job in our hometown so we will gladly be moving back within the next few months! Now to buy a house... Prayers are appreciated.

Who needs 12 crystal candy dishes?!

Number 88.

All the credit of physically taking back our unused and unwanted wedding gifts goes to my wonderful husband. Anyone who has come into our apartment knows exactly where that stack of gifts was: lying in the dining room floor next to our front door. Thanks to Brian, we have so much more room in our tiny, little apartment. We are now going to be able to start buying our wedding china with the credit that we earned from said gifts as well as gifts cards that have been collecting. yayy.

I can see!

Happy April! I am very excited about my lasted goal that I accomplished this past Thursday, March 29th. I completed goal #63- get new glasses. Vision, not sun. :) I have been needing these desperately since the last pair I got was when I started middle school. Those were kind of unfortunate.

I think they look pretty spiffy. My favorite thing about them, though, is that they are Vera Bradley. I normally don't focus too much on labels but I do love my Vera Bradley glasses and I'll show you why...

I absolutely love that they have the Vera Bradley designs on the outside! :) It makes the "sophisticated" glasses kind of "quirky" at the same time!
