I was off today, before I went to do my usual stuff I spent the whole day cleaning our storage, and I tell ya it was diiiiiirttyyyyy! ugh. not that dirty, but there was quite a few dust balls here and there. I cleaned it up real good. and I am proud of myself. heck, I was surprised to see all the receipts I had since 2005.. oh waitaminute 2004. bummer, I had to look at each one, so I wouldn't miss something, coz I might just toss a very important paperwork, or perhaps a piece of document that has your own sss on it, a no no for me.
So as I was cleaning the bags, tossing around a lot of junk that I don't need, I find my pregnancy prenatal pills and all our other miscellanious prescriptions, (gasp) I couldn't believe I still had 'em. what a nightmare this is I thought. how could I miss all these? I guess when we were moving out from our apartment back in the 7th floor I didn't bother throwing out the junk we still had. So I vowed from now on, I'll keep tabs on everything to avoid clutter.
It was so funny, as I was rummaging through our old stuff, looking at all the things we had when we first started just brought back memories. good memories. I was reminiscing through each item I held, It was such a good feeling. I even saw the very first anniversary gift I gave my hubby back in 2003.


The very first gift I gave Jon. While he was sleeping I always went into his room and concentrated on finishing my home made book, consisted of pages sewn together and some couple of art papers for the design of the book. simple, yet clean. inside were handwritten messages, text messages I got from him eversince we started dating, until we got married. It was sweet, he went home one day and just hugged me tight and said thank you, he cried too... the very first page is the one below.

Small things can make people happy. and it's things like these that makes our love grow strong and tight. I always see myself growing old with hubby. You think we're always that sweet and all that, but you're wrong.. we do have some moments that can be pretty stressful, but most times we're sweet. I thank God for each and every day we're together.
I have more pictures to show you, but I guess I'll upload them in my multiply a lil later after this. It was just so funny coz I saw all my bags, my old clothes, my old shoes, my baby stuff, some pictures, my work schedules (that had to be thrown out) etc. It's so nice taking a walk down memory lane, so how about you... when's the last time you cleaned your closet?
