right before we left provo as we were sorting through everything we owned we had a huge stack full of things to shred. since chris worked for the math department and their office had a shredder we went up there one night and shredded all of the papers. since then we've been collecting another huge stack. a few weeks ago we did a little research and went to costco to pick up a shredder. today i finally pulled it out of the box. i LOVE it. i am so glad we got a shredder. i was able to get rid of a huge stack of papers without having to worry about it at all!
