The act of purging one's worldly belongings is hard. We didn't think we were terribly attached to any of our things. We also didn't think we owned very much. But, over these past couple of months, we have found both those notions to be false.
We have given away, sold, or discarded most of our possessions, including our first major purchases, Desi's wedding dress and accessories, Mike's art, pictures, and a whole lot of junk. Although most of these items will never be thought of again, the actual act of purging them is what makes this process so difficult. And, though most of these items will be forgotten, there will no doubt be a time in the future where something pops into our head and we ask ourselves "didn't we used to own..." or "I wonder what happened to..." and that's when we'll remember the Purge of 2010.
