OK, ok... I have a confession to make.
HI my name is Rozalynn and I am a hoarder. Whew! Glad that's off my chest.
Now let me specify, I'm not a creepy hoarder like the Shows you see on TV. No.
I DO however have a problem with throwing away my past. I have every birthday card, picture, note, newspaper clippings, you name it, from when I was a child. I have an entire binder dedicated to the notes that were written back and forth from 7th grade on! Seriously?? (In my defense, they are pretty hilarious to go back and read what your biggest dilemma was back then). Man those were the days, and for some reason I can't seem to "throw away" those years. And boy are my bins there to testify. I have multiple bins filled with pictures and all the letters I received from Missionaries. It would almost be creepy if someone came and saw all the pictures and letters I have. hmm I wonder how their wives would feel if they knew I still had letters and pictures from/of their husbands? I wish I could throw it all away, but like I said I have a problem. I just can't!! Mitch had a Bon Fire with all his *past* pictures and crap, but I just can't bring myself to do it! He's told me multiple times, "do you really need all this STUFF?"
Then I go to try and throw out the things I don't need, and end up spending hours reading EVERYTHING and looking at every picture, and then I'm right back to where I started with nothing thrown away.
The reason I'm bringing this up is, I made a goal to scan all my pictures onto my computer and put them on CD's. WOWZA! I thought I could finish it this week, but it might take me all year. I honestly want to know if you guys keep all your old stuff, or am I just super creepy and have a true hoarding problem? hmm Well until that day I have enough will power to light the match to those past pics and such of mine, here are a few of my favorites for you to enjoy...
(I hope we can still be friends now that you know my secret..I feel much better now that you all know;)

ALRIGHT, I'm done... I could do this all day! Does anyone have a cure for Hoard-ism? I'm pretty sure I have a serious problem..

LOL you are not weird or crazy. I have all of my notes from friends and stuff too as well as pictures of missionaries and stuff! (OR maybe we're both crazy?) I can't wait to see if you find a cure. If so, pass it along.
I used to have the same problem, and then one day I just got rid of it all. It was REALLY liberating! I only kept a few things that were only important to me and had no real connection to anyone else (especially past boyfriends) Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
hahaha oh my! I haven't seen a few of those pictures forever! Do you remember that first awkward Jr. High dance? So funny. I did keep some things, but threw away more. All of my past things can fit into about one bin. Good luck, scanning that many pictures sounds overwhelming! But I'm thinking you might want to get rid of those letters! ha
I used to be HORRIBLE! Then I set my mind to fixing it! And since we moved so much it got easier and easier! Everytime I'd find something I'd be like... Ok Lindsey. When is the last time you used this, looked at this, or read this!?
Then I threw it away! Im not perfect yet! I still have SOME things. But I'm getting better! Hehe
p.s. I think we wrote the same missionary!! Haha
Ha you are so cute, I am glad you keep everything. It will be so fun to look back in 20 years and see what you were like in high school and laugh at all the crazy fun things you did! I love looking at all of our pictures, we had so much fun and I miss those days. I wish we could hang out more!
I do the same thing...maybe I'm crazy too?? It drives my husband crazy! But I truly have no desire to get rid of it! Thank you for confessing your secret because now I don't feel so bad about myself!
Roz have all my stuff too!!!
