I was always jealous of kids that moved and the kids that got to be the new kids at school. So I made up for it by moving A LOT after I graduated high school. I moved 22 times in 11 years! I've lost track now but I have slowed down. I only move every 2-3 years now but when I move, I move big.
Big moves- like moving overseas- require a lot of editing. Every time I do it I think, "How on Earth did I get this much crap in just a couple of years?!"
I'm lucky because this time I have a shipping allowance. Yea!!! I get to take with me way more than I ever have in the past, which is awesome. I still had to get rid of A LOT of stuff. Going through all my stuff is a fun trip down memory lane. This time I kept finding foreign currency. Great memories from great trips.

Every time I go through it, I really do get rid of even more stuff, but I still end up with a pile of things I just can't part with yet and I can't take with me. Luckily, my parents have a space in the basement, under the stairs, with all the spiders and who knows what else, that is kinda reserved for me.
Since I'm living in California this required a quick trip back to Idaho, which was fine by me because I loved getting see my mom and dad and nieces (and my brother and sis-in-law) one more time before I leave.

I also got to help my mom with a yard sale which I used to help get rid of some of that crap I gathered over the past two year. My nieces set up a cotton candy/lemonade/ snow cone stand and we had a yard sale party.
