unearthing treasures
seriously, packing is a lot of work. especially considering i'll be spending the next three days undoing what i've just done.
today, however, i cam across a box that i thought held a lot of books from middle school through college. and they were there: juvenile fiction (tuck everlasting, there's a boy in the girls' bathroom, the face on the milk carton), a high school textbook (they must have been getting new french books) and college textbooks (tossed the criminal justice book, kept the photography). what i didn't expect were all the essays and poetry pieces i found. my final exam for college prep english that included a book i designed filled with writings i'd done throughout the year. a history essay where the professor commented that i could easily get into graduate programs if i was inclined to do so (i wonder if that would have been better than my art major). i found spirals filled with notes from old sunday school classes & Bible studies. i found my old prayer partner notebook. i found workbooks from "youth specialties" conferences. i found the letter i wrote to the board of elders. i found copies of feel-good & scare-them handouts we used for snowflake. i found a note given to all the americorps folks at the library reprimanding us for not filling out our time sheets properly. i found three handmade books - one each from fred, erin and nick. i found the personalized mickey mouse book from dave.
and i found an invitation to fred's 16th birthday party. the invitations were little mermaid, imagine that. do we think it's too late to rsvp? :)

I LOVE that! I did the same thing when I was packing. I thought all my memories were lost in that storage area incident, but I found some great treasures... including a few handmade books from becca! And some things from Dave. Is that the Dave who's commenting here?
