Week 1: A NEW Garage!

edit:  I just went through and read this and it is a bit cheesy and annoyingly upbeat.  I apologize in advance.

Well, technically not new, but in the nearly 3 years we have lived here, I have NEVER been able to park in the garage before today.  I decided it was time to clear the clutter, so I would be able to park inside when it gets cold.  I worked my butt off!  Check out the before and after pics below.  I am so thankful that H and M took a 3+ hour nap, allowing me some uninterrupted work time (and thanks to D who finished my crossword puzzle while I was cleaning, even though the letters make no sense).  

I didn't get around to the elliptical today.  We spent the morning looking at tile for our new shower tile (can't wait to have the master done!)  and this afternoon on the garage.  I don't feel bad, as I lifted and carried furniture, bags of mulch, boxes, etc.  My calves tell me I got enough of a work out.

I feel great about being productive and love clean space.  I just want to stand in the garage and stare at the non-clutter.  I might need some help!  I am also exhausted and could have gone to sleep when the kids did, but got side tracked on sorting through Christmas stuff.
