The move is almost over. Just some miscellaneous stuff left at the ranch that we are going to get today. I am now sitting in my new loft apartment, which is so cool. The majority of the stuff we moved is sitting in boxes around me, and it still seems like a ton of stuff, even though we probably gave 1/3 of what we had away, trashed another 1/3 of it, and 1/3 of it still remains in our possession. We are giving ourselves 30 days to unpack completely, and if it doesn't end up having a place in our apartment after 30 days, we are seriously considering getting rid of it, even though we brought it here.
It was a truly freeing experience to get rid of so much stuff and to know i no longer have to deal with it. I hope that I have learned something through this that will last a lifetime - be happy with what you have already. Getting the next best greatest thing isn't going to make my life any better, and in fact, it could end up having more of a negative affect on me when I'm over it and have to find something to do with it.
These next years of my life I want to find fulfillment in doing things that God wants me to do. I know that will be enough - more than enough!
