This is our spare room. We're moving in a very short number of days, and the pile of boxes, which is directly behind where I sit here at the computer, has actually grown considerably since this photo was taken (now we have to carefully inch our way to the computer). Somebody recently told me they have heard of an easier method for moving.... rather than gathering lots of boxes you simply get a book of matches. At times in the packing process I have to agree with that statement. However, in going through everything we own, I have found some interesting and valuable things, including:
*$70 in cash/gift cards from our 3-years-ago wedding showers -- Wii Fit, once I find you, you will be mine!
*several old journals -- one from my freshman year of college and around the time Jason and I started dating, one from my first year after college, the first year we were married... very fun and interesting to read my past thoughts
*a collection of baby shower decorations that I saved because I knew I'd use again, but couldn't find when I needed them 2 months ago and bought all new ones
*all the supplies to scrapbook our honeymoon in Greece... again, 3 years ago
*a brand new, never-been-worn sweater (that fits, no less!)
*many pairs of forgotten shoes that I haven't been able to wear in my current standing-or-crawling-on-the-floor-all-day profession
*a lovely wooden salad bowl, which was hidden in a mystery box at the bottom back corner of a closet
*a coupon for free Chik-fil-A
*a notebook with lots of notes about work, including many "reports" to give parents at the end of the day on my 3-years-ago students... wow! that was quite a year!

See--the whole match thing is highly overrated! Is that wood bowl the one from Dena and Teresa? I remember thinking how pretty that was.
Dad's hand was ALOT worse last night, but is some better today. Still pretty swollen, but he can bend his fingers today. We'll see in the morning.
We will definately be praying about the positioin at IU--it does sound like just what you were wanting.
Who knows what we might find when we move all those boxes!
You would have to do the math for me, because I am hoping for a bunch!
How fun! You hit a gold mine:)
