organizing
I have tried to spend some time organizing since I was off over Christmas... I wish I had the money to buy all the containers and storage units that I could use to make the space the Best Organized room; however, I don't so I will have to make do.
I started with our bills, I sort all of them on the bed and them put them in order of the dates so they could be filed.
This is the pile of the envelopes and the junk mail that needed to be shredded. I filled an entire trashbag full of shredded junk mail.
Then I filed all of the bills in our file box that we have. It sure does help us out now that finally have that organized.
THE PANTRY
After my grocery trip the other day, I decided to reorganize and clean out our pantry.
Some of the things that I have tried to help keep our pantry in order is a canned drink box (you know the ones that you can punch out the end and it is ready for dispensing in your fridge) and I use it for canned soup.

This room has become a junk room. So I started organizing this room and this is the room that I can not seem to get the way I want.
Here is the room after... I know it is not perfect yet, But I am working on a few projects right now.
SPARE BEDROOM
This picture is sideways, but most of the clutter is the christmas decorations that I had to get put away.
Here it is now. We had to move the end tables from our living room in this room since we got new furniture.

I also used a storage box that I got at Walmart to help keep the muffin mix and rice bags from falling thru the wires on the shelves.
What kind of organizing tools or units do you use?

update with pictures
Happy New Year! ---January 13, 2012
The best way for me to sum up the last two weeks will be with pictures...
On January 2, I met with some of my favorite people from college for supper. It was great to catch up with them all.
January 3-- Adam sold our living room furniture by 11am so we spent the rest of the day finding something new... This is it!! It is so comfy.
January 5, Harris Teeter was having super doubles so this is what I got $169.24 worth of groceries for$75.58. Not that bad!!! (Not pictured is 10 cases of drinks and 3 packs of bottled drinks)
January 8, We had Family night at Pin Station for our church family. And Adam's parents, Adam, my mom, and I played two games of bowling...
I did not do so good with this second game!
Then we met for Praise and Worship and then Dr. Yount preached as well!
On Monday January 9, Kyle and Matt helped me and we cleaned out the basketball and game closet at the church.... this is everything once pulled out.
This is one corner once we were done.
On January 11, I taught the lesson for Kids Praise and we made snowmen... this is mine.
Thursday, January 12, This is another Harris Teeter trip, they were just having doubles but I still got $36.78 for $14.64.
I also went to Lowes Foods and got $64.96 for $50.40 (but alot of these items I needed but did not have coupons)
And I also went to Bilo and paid $18.83 for $28.97 worth of groceries.
Once I got home, I cleaned out and organized our pantry.
And then we enjoyed our Crock Pot Chicken N Dumplings...I loved this meal because it did not take that much prep and I am all for easy.

Need three more!!!
(I have marked some off and yes I still need to add some.)
Wow now it is less than 2 months away until my 30th Birthday. I am not really sure how I feel about turning 30. I have joked that I am not turning 30 and that I will stay 29 years old, but do I really want that.
As I have started really thinking about my upcoming birthday (3/2), I can really only think that my 30s may be the best days of my life. But before we get to the 30s, I wanted to just think back over the last 10 years. Being in your 20s, brings on so many changes and learning how to deal with those changes... oh and I don't do well with change. So for some of those changes that I had to make and learn from were: moving off to college and learning how to live on your own and get your schoolwork done without your parent checking on you, building new friendships that will last a lifetime, had my first real relationship that eventually lead me to walking down the aisle to my Prince Charming, bought my first car, became a homeowner, and just recently became a new car owner.
Now on to the 3o before 30 list ....oh but wait....
So my list is really going to be "30 things to accomplish in 2012"--- I figure I could probably make that work.
I will mark off the items once they are completed! (Oh but wait again.... I only have 26 items right now because I have had a hard time thinking of things that I can get done in a year....I will add more when I come up with them....) (Friends, please help keep me accountable to accomplish this list!!!)
1. Have a game night at our house!
2. Continue to grow my hair out... My hair has not this long in about 10 years or more.

Happy New Years
I hope everyone had a great New Year's Day! I did stay up last night to see the ball drop and ring in the New Year with my Husband!!! He went right to sleep when it was over and I finished watching the movie that we had rented. Then this morning, I started the new year off with a few of the cutest preschoolers while I led Critterland this morning at Sunday School. We had a great time even though there was only 6 kids.... we missed a bunch of our friends. Then Adam and I enjoyed worship together. It was great to start the year off worshipping with my husband. Then Adam and I spent the afternoon looking at new living room furniture! Now let me tell you, that I don't mind spending time with Adam or even shopping for that matter, but after several hours of looking I get very bored.... and hungry!!! So then we ended our day together with dinner at my parents... My mom made the New Years Meal.... Pork Chops, Corn, Stuffing, Black Eyed Peas, Rice, Cornbread, gravy, slaw, and then peach cobbler. I enjoyed spending time with my family again tonight... My mom and I even found a box of my baby dolls.... We finally found the baby doll that I got when I was 1 years old... So over all the last 2 days have been pretty good! Now I am not ready to go back to work on Tuesday! And when I go back to work... I am still hoping that I will make time to blog more often.
