Well, wife and I finally made the big move: We no longer live in the Denver area. We closed on our new house in SW Pueblo (I think the area is called Regency) and we really love it. Great neighborhood, house overlooks open space and I can see Pike's Peak from my office window.

BUT - we did a dumb thing that I'll bet a lot of us do.

TOO. MUCH. STUFF.

And the really dumb part is that when we got into the frenzy of packing to go, we didn't have the time to really look through our stuff and decide what to keep and what to get rid of - so by default we kept it all. Moving was a bit of an ordeal but the worst is that we paid to move stuff down here and NOW we're getting rid of it, which is bass-ackwards from what we should have done.

Anyway, this is just a PSA to those who might be considering a move in the next few years. Get rid of your excess stuff NOW so you don't pay someone to move it, only to get rid of it later.
