De-cluttering, Erika's games, Matt's Homecoming

As mentioned in the last blog, I am beginning (or starting again) to de-clutter my house. Which is kind of funny because you would think that de-cluttering would help make the house cleaner...well not yet. I have boxes everywhere. Garbage, D.I., and book of remembrance stuff, books, crafts. They tell me that it will all be worth it in the end, but for now I can't really find many parts of my floor and not sure I see an end. I guess I should also share with you the reason for starting this massive de-cluttering adventure. Ralph and I have decided to downsize, so we are selling our house (and property) and plan on buying a little bit smaller, more economic home. There it's out! We have pondered this for a long time now. And now that Matt is the only one left at home and he will probably be leaving us in a couple of years, and there is just too much house that needs to be finished and kept up, so it is time. We are having a hard time leaving our beautiful backyard view, but it is time to move on.
Erika made the Dixie college newspaper. So far she is the top scorer on the team and maybe in her division. here is the link if you would like to read about her: http://media.www.dixiesunlink.com/media/storage/paper1365/news/2008/09/24/Sports/Womens.Soccer.Relies.On.Mouritsen.For.Goals-3447618.shtml
After this article she has scored 3 more goals. 2 on Thursday the 25th and then 1 on Saturday the 27th. She is doing really well and we are all so proud of her! Keep it up Erika!
Matt went to the Mountain Crest Homecoming this past weekend. He took his girlfriend Alex. He seems to have fun no matter what he does. They went ice skating for their day date. Alex's parents fixed a steak dinner for them and then off to the dance. I took some pictures but can't seem to find them all. I will have to get Lesley to help me transfer the one's that I can find.
I guess for now that's enough news for one day. I will work on getting the pictures onto the blog. but until then, Hope you all have a great day.

Once a year I go through every closet and cupboard to declutter....I hate it. Its agony. But, I'm always happy when I'm done. If you need any help, let me know. I'm not sure how much help I would actually be with my two little ones but I could certainly give it a try, hehe. When I read you were selling your house I was a bit sad and I only have a handful of memories there compared to the millions that you do. But hey...life is an adventure and you keep moving forward and making more memories right! Did I mention I love your blog?! Hope all is well.
