Things haven't changed much since April.
I still have almost nothing on my walls (a few mementos from the wedding, and that's about it). The same month I got married, I also was promoted to the Choir Director at our church, so a few times a week I run rehearsals, and research music for future services. It's a dream come true for me, professionally, but it leaves me very little time to work on the house. My wife and I come home to veg, for the most part.
Our current lease is up in May 2015, and we may move, not really sure.
I have not added much to my material list (a few CD's and a vinyl album, and computer equipment), but haven't significantly reduced, either. As I said in previous posts, I may have hit my material bedrock. I will see how the next move goes. --JB

Another Year....
I moved back to College Station in April 2013. I was lucky enough to get my job back at Texas A&M (thanks in large part to Balin).
I signed a lease with my then-girlfrend, the lovely Teresa, and she moved her stuff into the house.
After I unpacked, a sort of stagnation settled over my belongings. I have framed pictures and memorabilia which, as of April 2014, are still not hung on walls, they're just in a pile on one table. We haven't been able to settle on a definitive arrangement in the living room, so we rearrange things every few months. I haven't added much to my collection of stuff, but I hard use or access what I have right now, which is very strange.
In January, Teresa and I got married. Fortunately, most of our wedding presents were cool things for the kitchen. So we now have a packed kitchen and living room, but hardly anything but furniture anywhere else in the house.
So, I think I've hit bedrock on the minimum amount of material stuff I can comfortably get rid of. Then next year should be interesting, as we have just signed a new lease that runs until the end of August, 2015. --JB
