Purging...

Yesterday Amy attacked her room like a crazy person. She was determined to get rid of anything she didn't plan on needing in the next few years. She knows that once she leaves for college there's a big possibility she'll never live at home again for more than short spurts. Sad, but very possibly true. So she filled a trash bag with academic medals, girly treasures, a partially completed afghan, files, knick-knacks, etc. We put her precious collection of books on the shelves up high in her room and emptied the shelves in the closet for the most part. She made a pile for trash, a pile for Goodwill, and a pile for a little girl in Arkansas whom we send things to from time to time. Nothing was spared! Posters are off the walls and her desk is emptied. This girl is moving on!
