Well It Starts.....

Well it starts!  I am packing up my household so that I can teach overseas for the school years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 in Ankara, Turkey.  After living in my rented townhome for 11 years, I have some many more possessions than I thought.  I am taking it one closet/drawer at a time.  And I am sorting my possessions into 5 piles --- Keep & Store Pile, Throw Out Pile, Take to Goodwill Pile, Sell at a Yard Sale Pile --- and lastly the smallest pile entitled Take With Me Pile.  I am trying to take only as many belongings that fit into 3-4 large, wheeled duffel bags.
