Out with the old

Jeremy and I were looking back at the past year and realized that it was a year of getting rid of things. Most people probably mark their years in what they have acquired, but not us... this year at least.

Most notably gone are:

• The old, lumpy mattress which caused countless sleepless, sciatica-ridden nights for me
• The horrible beast of an entertainment center. (Bonus points for giving it to the furnitureless college students next door.)
• The fish shower curtain. 4 years was long enough.
• Massive quantities of baby items and maternity clothing.
• Our ability to reproduce. (Technically, this happened at the very end of 2006, but wasn't made official until 2007.)
• Our debt.

It's hard to say which of these was the biggest relief. Combined they were a massive burden, that unloaded is making our lives much, much better.
