Happy boxes :) (June 28th blog post)

Happy boxes :) 
Last night I went shopping with my mom. As I walked thought the store I felt overwhelmed with all "things" I need to buy to "get up and running again". I feel like I am restarting for the 6th time, my mom reassured me to take baby steps and only get things that I absolutely loved. I remember a couple months back I saw these towels that I fell in love with. I walked back to the bathroom section and there they were!! I was so excited that I grabbed enough for four sets. When I was done with the towels I moved on to the kitchen supplies. I made a list of all the things I wanted such as a coffee machine a double toaster and waffle marker. Once I was done I found a cup set that I really liked, so I put two in my cart.
The reason I went shopping was to buy huge storage bins with lids so I can organize my life and pack up what I am not using. I decided that every paycheck I get I am going to take a couple hundred dollars and start buying what I want for my next home. Once I have bought what I want I am packing them into these Tupperware containers. I am calling them my "happy boxes".  Right now I have a lot of kitchen supplies and bathroom supplies that I am going to pack up. On every box it will read "bathroom happy box" towels, shower curtain and candles inside. :)
I am very excited to start filling up my happy boxes, I am also excited for when I can unpack them. My goal in the next 3 months is to have 15 happy boxes packed and ready to go, so when I do move I will have what I deserve to be comfortable in my new home. I am so excited!! It feels like it is my first Christmas! It is a beautiful feeling to be self-efficient and be able to take care of myself!!! YAHOO!!! This is a step in the right direction! I have to thank my mother in and sister for sticking by my side and helping and pushing me along the way... especially when I am having a break down in the middle of the store. haha
I love you both very much! I love my family and my friends very much! I love you, thank you for your support on this beautiful journey of mine!!
Xoxo
Until tomorrow!
MUAH!
