It made me laugh because I have a couple of these boxes. One is just about everything sentimental thing I had from my ex husband. I kept it for my daughter's sake. The other is a couple of things here and there from elementary boyfriends to all the way to Brad, including pics. The box isn't nearly as extensive and is only the highlights.
I don't go through it but I think things like that help your kids get a bigger glimpse of your life before them. I know I like seeing pics of my mom's old college boyfriends and reading some of the letters she kept.
Brad doesn't mind at all and I don't have a problem coming across pics of him and his ex girlfriends. I liked most of the girls he went out with and he didn't marry them. He married me! :D And yes I do have a box with OUR stuff which outranks the other two, but I was talking primarily of boxes for exes.
What are your thoughts? Do you have stuff you have kept? If so, what?

I share the same opinion with you--it's part of your past, and the fact that you are no longer with those ppl is irrelevant. It's a part of who you were growing up, and those are memories that your kids might enjoy knowing/looking through.
I have a small shoebox or too somewhere in the attic. :) And of course, I have a large box for Mike since we've been together since 98.- 5:38 AM

Mwah ha ha ha. Katie you are hilarious. ....And actually that picture wasn't kept by me. Amber kept that one. :D (AND...It is a good thing I specified exes cause he wasn't one of mine. :D) I am so glad we are friends. You make me laugh.
Amy-98?!?! Holy freakin' cow. Ya'll are gettin' old!...well, one of you is getting old. (Mike) :D- 8:36 AM
