Phil and I, when we first got married had a double bed, it was my bed from home, and it did the trick just fine. A few months later friends of ours had a queen for us if we wanted!! We were pretty exicted. Then the other week, Auntie Wanda called us and asked if we wanted a king! I didn’t realize how big king beds were until we started moving it upstairs — its HUGE! Tonight I set out to find sheets for our bed, since the biggest I had were queen sets, and to my amazement I found the perfect color match I needed/wanted at Winners.

When I got home, I threw the sheets into the washer (definitely need clean sheets for bed) and thought it was the perfect time to start organizing our room. When I was younger for the most part my room was always clean and organized (my parents may beg to differ, but I did take care of it), it was my only place that was ‘mine’. My own little sanctuary you could say. Now however, I have a whole house to take care of and keep up. We moved to our new place in April and have been pretty busy since — Moved April 10th, left for holiday’s April 15th, returned April 30th, Birthday week May 1 , May Long weekend camping trip, church family camp, cirque du soleil, family visits, and work. Well, all of the house was unpacked and set up pretty well. But, our bedroom was very neglected. Not every box had been unpacked, and things kind of ‘piled up’. It has been bothering us for a while that it was not clean, so tonight as I set up our new bed, I decided it was the perfect time to de-clutter, and finish unpacking!

It is not quite done yet, but feels so much better all ready! Last year before our wedding we went to a marriage seminar and they said that bedrooms should not be full of piles, and clutter, they should be relaxing and cozy, and nice place to be, not somewhere you’d rather run away from. Ours was the latter but now will be relaxing, cozy and tidy!

Over the last while, Phil and I decided that we do not want to hold on to ‘stuff’, it is not necessary, we are wanting to de-clutter and only hang out to things that are necessary or have personal value, but we have to pick and choose. I think that when we are done our organizing it will feel great! And when we move again, everything will be organized and we wont be moving junk all over the place
