Why unpack if the clothes are clean?

We've been back from MI for almost a week now...
The suitcases are still in the living room (packed with clean clothes) and we've yet to do a real grocery store trip, but it has been a busy week of cleaning!

I started in our bedroom in hopes of making room for Taylor's clothes in our closet...hmmmm
I was able to donate about 6 bags of clothes to Goodwill and our church, as yet Taylor hasn't sacrificed any clothes to help with the space shortage.  Seems a bit lopsided if you ask me!  However, we are mightly blessed and definitely have more than we need.

My next project will be our home office.  Things got a little crazy in there while Taylor was in CA...I'll admit it was sort of my dumping grounds.  I didn't file papers and receipts as I normally do and as a result, they have formed heaping piles!  We also seem to have lots and lots of books laying around...might need to pick up a new bookcase soon.  After the office, I intend to tackle the hall closet which houses a mixture of samples and full size Artistry products, assorted crafty-type items, games, half of a Pier 1 store, and our entire VHS (yes, still) collection...Those might be checking out the local goodwill store tomorrow!

All of these projects are leading up to a whirlwind of expected out-of-town guests this spring:
Feb 27th-Mar 6th: Aunt Sherri and Uncle Ted
Mar 6th- Mar 13th: Grand Valley Girls Golf (my sister's team)= MOM:)
May:  NATIONALS for GVSU= Mom AND Dad, Grandma and Grandpa and perhaps some aunts?

Can't wait to host them all....I think I might be seeing the Grand Canyon one more time in a week or so:)
