Garage Sale

In Guatemala, Nicole and I had oodles of conversations about wanting to live a simple, uncluttered life. We're working towards that goal, but holy Toledo, do we have a lot of "stuff" standing in between us and that goal. Example: between us we have 8 suitcases, including 2 that I picked up for free at a yard sale 2 years ago and have never used. I don't even use suitcases! I just use my backpack when I'm traveling! Why the heck do I even have these things?

Anyway.

It's been a three month process, but Nicole and I finally had our big yard sale.
It was a total success - we got rid of half of our unwanted stuff, and the rest (mostly clothes) can go to Goodwill.

And it was a lot of fun, not least because our friend Yungju showed up with these very handy little bottles of champagne. Bless her.

Dave kept us company for most of the afternoon too, and Carissa made a cameo appearance to show off her new haircut. Thanks guys!


And Boo, heads up: you're about to become the proud new owner of some rarely used luggage. We'll be taking it down when we come down to visit, OK? I promise, it's good stuff.
