Eureka!

It fits now. It actually fits. I haven't fit into it since we lived in this house. Not since we lived in this state, to be honest with you.

My kids didn't think I could do it. They doubted I would stick to my plan to make it happen. Hubs is my rock. Without him, it wouldn't have happened.

It hasn't fit since we lived in Arizona which is more that 5 years. I was sure that this day would never come. But come it did. 

On Saturday afternoon I was finally able to fit into my garage, while sitting in my car.

You see, for years and years we have only used our garage as a storage unit in which to store Christmas decorations, camping equipment that we rarely use,  food storage...just in case, boxes and boxes and boxes of clothes to hand down. We found toys that were supposed to be donated years  months ago, clothes that I was saving for the return of Skinny Me. She's not coming back anytime soon....I miss her.

We found my Christmas wrapping paper obsession, books that are worth keeping, books that weren't worth keeping. Every I.D. card that Hubs has ever owned. Socks.

I found pictures. Oh, I was so happy to find them. Pictures from high school. Pictures from college. Pictures from my mission...yay! from my mission. Pictures from my engagement and wedding. Pictures of my kids. Pictures of my life!!

We found junk that my kids labeled treasure. Treasures that have become junk. We found it all.

But best of all, after six hours of hard labor, we found our garage. And yes, we can actually park one of our cars in it. My kids are so excited. I am so excited. We are all so excited.

We are easily amused.

It fits!!!
