The BIG mess in our front room the night before our garage sale.
I made muffins and had bottle waters to sell which were a hit! I think I made $15 alone on muffins! It was a nice warm day perfect for a garage sale. I felt SOOOO happy to get rid of the big stuff. My organ and treadmill. Yes, I'll be sad to say goodbye to those but, I prefer to work out at the gym and I'll be taking a little break from the Organ (which I've played in my ward for 2 1/2 years) while Kevin is gone. I think I'd rather have a piano instead of an organ anyway. MUCH prettier to look at.
And now, my life is organized! Thanks to my new BEST friend!! The Brother P Touch! The best labeler in the world! You must get one! I got mine at Costco. I'm getting addicted to labeling everything! Even the most obvious stuff!
The best thing about all this change is that I've been able to reorganize EVERYTHING I own! It feels fabulous! A place for everything and well, most everything in its place. Having kids really makes it hard to keep everything in it's place. But it feels good. I'll have to take some after shots of my house because now it all feels nice and simple around here.
And for the sad news, Kevin is gone. He's in a 12 week training course at the DEA and FBI training headquarters in Quantico, VA (30 min. outside D.C). It will be hard to have him gone for 90 days. The first day he was gone was the longest and hardest for me. I cried ALL day long! But now that I'm in the grove of things, I am handling his absence MUCH better! :) And I'm looking forward to taking my kids out for a 3 weeks visit to stay with my sister Jill who lives in D.C! I feel so blessed that I will have a place to stay near Kevin. He has the weekends off so he'll be able to stay with us when we are there! Yay!
So now I'll have plenty of time to catch up on the blog. And hopefully I'll be pulling that sewing machine out real soon! It's been way too long!

Dang Amy...I wish I had known about your garage sale! We have been looking for a treadmill :( Oh well, Im glad it was successful for you! 12 weeks will be gone before you know it. Time flies so fast when you have little kids starting school soon...Good luck and remember I'm just around the corner if you need anything.
YAY! I've missed your updates. I can't wait to see pics of all the labeling you've done! Sounds like it will prob inspire quite a few of us to get off our bottoms and organize!
Love your blog and all your craftiness!
Amy; I am selling my Madsencycle for $500. It breaks my heart but I am buying a sportsmall membership for my kids' tennis and it is the only way:( Just seeing if you are interested. call me 8019421749

I am excited for all your new adventures!!
good lucky amy. i hope it goes fast and smooth and that is so great you can stay with your sister in the DC area for a few weeks. my dad worked in quantico for years - we lived there (well in a small town close to there) until i was 7 or 8?
anyways, have a good rest of the summer.
