Our rather-large-for-a-trailer front porch is knee deep with miscellaneous belongings and has been since we moved in. I dug into some random garbage sacks this afternoon and discovered, among other things, clothes which have been packed away for five years or so. I have no idea where they've been hiding all this time, but there they were! And oh, the memories. Some people keep scrapbooks; apparently, I keep clothing. Here are some of the things I found.
Spring Dash shirt from 1995
Idaho Youth Summit shirts from 1997 and 1998
Our Generation (Spokesman-Review) shirt from 1998 or so
Smithsonian tank top from 1999
Hershey's sweatshirt from visiting Pennsylvania in 1999
Shiloh Ranch shirt from 2000 or so
the dress I wore to Winter Ball - our first date - in 2000
Caraway Street children's ministry shirt from 2000-2001
Whitworth Homecoming 2001 shirt
Warren Hall shirts from 2001-2002
Panama City Beach shirt from going on a mission trip there in 2002
Schumacher sweatshirt (so relieved to find this one) from the glory days
Alleghany College (my dad's alma mater) shirt from our road trip in 2003
Ladies of the Lake shirt - you know who you are - circa 2003 or so
our really good winter gloves that have been missing for years
the green hat Keith used to wear while we were dating
the mittens Josie gave me for Christmas when Keith & I were engagedAnd those were just my clothes... Keith has plenty of interesting ones too. Of course, there were also some items from high school that actually made me cringe, but I'm trying to forget those again. This is probably a really boring blog if you weren't involved in any of those activities with me but... wow, the memories! I'm rather overwhelmed with nostalgia at it all, and seriously wondering how these things survived fifteen moves without being discovered until now.

Sounds like you need to make a t-shirt quilt, that is unless you plan on wearing all those shirts!
Oh, yay - I love coming across boxes/sacks like that. In fact, I did just yesterday, and it was like walking down "memory lane". Yay for Ladies of the Lake!!
I remember a lot of those shirts and sweatshirts. How fun!
