Have you ever found nine lost rolls of film Look what I found

Have you ever come across a picture that brings such emotion in you. Whether it be joy, happiness's or true sorrow. While I was packing I can across 9 rolls of 35mm film. These are what I found.

I love to look at pictures of Abby from years ago and remember the moments. I remember taking this picture (above) and thinking how can life be any better than this.

It was a great life. Unfortunately people make choice that determine the path of others. I guess it is up to the others to decide what path they will take.

Abby and I will be a a different path but It will be one that were on together.

Straight legs??

Momma why are you packing up all my baby things for Goodwill.

Abby I'm not going to have any more babies. I got the best on already, we need to get rid of stuff we are going to a little place now.

Well that's OK. You have to have straight legs to have a baby any way!

WHAT ON EARTH

Oh the joy of Packing

Have you moved recently !!

It's hard but I have not moved since 1999 and basically I came here as a newlywed. You know how it is. We came from a little apartment in California that had 700 sq. feet. Where I still had my wedding shrine up lol

We moved to TX into 1700 sq feet. It was easy to bring everything I got a ton of new space.

Fast forward 9 years I have added

1. Child ( who has (had) the cutest room ever and TONS OF CLOTHES)
1. Guest room ( currently filled with my mom and all her stuff including a Christmas tree don't ask )
1. One play room with allot of stuff mostly craft, stuffed animals, books
1. Living room
( Garth got the den/ TV room)

1. House filled with accessories, family pics, and 9 years of things
1. Garage with a loft full
1. Kitchen fill with tones of stuff from all the Tupperware, Pampered chefs, etc parties

Well now I am going back into a little apartment not as small but small. and NO GARAGE.

I have made so many trip to goodwill here that the men keep asking how many more tips I will have. I was wondering how many I have made in the last 8 month since I found out about Garth and knew my life would change.
I went back and counted my recites for this tax year so since January 10th I have made 26 yep that's right 26 trips. Man I will love the tax deduction. In a strange way I fell good about it.

It's nice to know that I do not need all these things. Ya I mean I like my things. It's a little bitter sweet to give stuff away but I (we) want to start fresh and free!!

Free from what I can't really define that yet. I want to start a new chapter, getting rid of the old can only make room for the new.

To start new and fresh I have re defined ( OK in the process) my life and what I want out of it. We have the right to re-write or script to be the hero of out own story

I WANT TO BE THE HERO OF MY OWN STORY.

Abby is my first priority !!! As I was talking to her today about the new people we will meet at our new ward I got so sad to see the questions in her eyes about what will happen to her, today at a new ward and in the upcoming few months (years). I thought for a moment "Just trust me Abby you will be fine I will take care of you" in an instant I felt

"I will take of you too Trust me and have faith and keep holding on to your dignity and honor"

We start a new ward today I will keep going back and forth for a while. All our best friend are in The Col... but we can make new one. Probably not as good but new ones. Today we can write a new page I hope it a exciting and adventurous.

L.

I have tones of Pics to past but I have no time I will try soon

One more day to go !!!

I sold the house !!!!!

We have 1 more day of the "option" So say a big prayer for us. We are selling the house for what we paid for it 9 years ago but it is what it is.............................

We will be moving on the 21 of JUNE.

If I ever did anything nice for you or you feel like you want to be my best new buddy I would love the help. I need help unpacking just as much as packing. lol

(not really i need the help)

Abby, my mom and I will be living in Carro.... ( you locals know what I mean ) We will be in a small two bedroom but we will make do. I thought I would have a hard time getting rid of all my stuff but nope. I have made so many trips to goodwill I cannot even count well on Saturday I went 5 times with a full car.

All of Abby's cloths that I had held on to for so long Nope all to goodwill. I took some to the resale store and got nothing back from them all her Gymborree cloths I had TONS, all her really nice leather shoes from Nordi's gone for a mere 31 $$. After that I decided to just donate them and give them to peeps who need them. ( Is there a limit of donation you can claim ???)

So I am packing slowly as best I can. My mom is not doing to well, so she can not help much if at all. She is visually unable to see much and cannot walk for more than to get a glass of water and than return to her room. ( I love cable).

I will let you all know when plans firm up.

I wanted to say a big thank you for all of those who have so supportive to Abby and I. This has been a real hard time. I hope in the next few months after some of the last ties are broken I will began to see my light. Through all this I have seen the light and love of you all and your real concerns and strength. It is time I search for my light

All my love L.
