Collect, collect, then select

"Collect, collect, then select" was my aunt's shortened philosophy on finding a mate. Don't get so overly attached on one person, check out as many as you can, then pick from the ones you've collected. And now I've selected. But now it's a philosphy we must use again in combining our households. For years each of us has collected and collected stuff and now we must both select what to bring into our lives together. Many people thought we already lived together, I guess that's the main assumption nowadays. This is tricky to say the least, which we avoided before the wedding because well, that would have been hard. Now we're both back to work and we're hoping to get through this transition by the end of November. Time to buy boxes.
