Organizing

Today I have been doing a lot of organizing, well, filing. Let's just say we have a large filing cabinet, well, we do. Apparently it fits a lot more in there than I realized. Today I realized that we have NEVER thrown away any bill we have ever gotten. Okay, maybe that is exaggerating slightly. However, when I am finding bills dated 2004 (we got married May 2003), clearly, this cabinet is a black hole. Here's the kicker though, I didn't mean to find all these bills, I was just trying to empty a box that was filled with paperwork that needed to be filed. I texted Chris and sarcastically told him the box was WAY too full and why haven't these been filed? He texted me back and said the filing cabinet needed to be cleaned out and reorganized...apparently I didn't understand the scope of that statement. It isn't by fault of either one of us in particular :) I know I like to keep things around a while, and he like to keep tabs on bills. However we did created this little child in the picture below...surely there is organization in our genes somewhere.

Nathan decided that the silverware drawer needed to be organized one day (back in Dec) and he matched all of the plasticware colors together. Then Yesterday he told me to come look at the pantry, and he had reorganized all the cans!! he made it look nice, he said it was "all messed up" and later when I used some things and didn't put them back exactly where he had put them, he told me I messed up the pantry and I needed to put things back where he put them.

Clearly we are organization gurus, or at least, some of our genes are. :)

(oh, and I think I came across the 2003 bills in the bottom drawer, but I quickly shut the drawer so I can deal with it later) :)
