[...] it be wrapping them tight in bath towel burritos, hanging them upside down till they squeal with glee, or just lying down on the floor [...]

Those towels will also clean up all kinds of other things over the course of the years too, that are a lot less cute – if you know what I mean

Oh you are so fun – yes, the shoes and suits But, I agree with you, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Oh, Lisa-Jo. This post takes me back to the days when I made the rounds at the big, Chicago law firm, informing the partners I slaved for that I was leaving. To marry a soldier and move to Germany. Oh, how crazy they thought that was. (Except for one partner who looked at me and said, “You’re doing the right thing. Marriage is fragile. If you’re going to make it work, you’re going to need to be there. And you’re going to have to work. But you’re doing the right thing.”) And so I gave up the money and the prestige and those amazing suits and heels and expensive haircuts (and most of that career, really) and I can say that it was certainly, truly, absolutely-without-a-doubt one of the best decisions of my life. I would do it again in a second. My family was worth all of it. Even if I sometimes miss the shoes.

It was seriously like unpacking wedding gifts again when we opened up those boxes after 5 years in storage. I actually cried when I saw my mattress again! I love that mattress something fierce {and I tell it so every night;) – oh yes I do!}

Yes, exactly. When you’re packing up a house to go into storage it’s wild to imagine how much your life might have changed by the time you unpack them again!
