UPDATES: Robert's graduation ceremony left me in tears. Will scrap all of the photos as time permits.

I've completely finished the "purging of my home" project. Every nook, cranny, box, closet, crevice & cabinet couldn't hide from me. I removed so many knic knacks, clothing, furniture & linens from my home that I'm now able to see walls and floors that I forgot we had!! *oops* Though I feel amazing that I completed this major task, it's far from over. Now the remodeling, rearranging & decorating begins.
