Look for the Colors


This has been a bit of a trying week for me. I had a disappointment on the employment front, but I'm trying to move on from that and will begin to search again. But, as the picture shows, there can be those bright moments - like when you come home to find some flowers on the table and a nice note from your husband and you know, no matter what, they're right there in your corner. Thanks, Dan. You're the best.

Also on a bright note, I have actually starting taking a class. It is going pretty well and I think the info I'm learning will be applicable in several areas of life. So far, I haven't felt too out of place - our out of my league, but we'll see once I take my mid-term on Monday. Yikes, it's been awhile!

Carrie and Isaac were home for a visit this past weekend, which was a great treat having them both here at the same time. We have great kids - another bright spot in life.

Our extended families are having their struggles and it is always hard when you're far away and seem a little disconnected from all of them. Phone conversations are always hard when you know the problems are way bigger than that. So, unfortunately, sometimes there are just no conversations which probably isn't good either. Life can be hard.

Tomorrow we are going to apply for our passports for our anniversary trip this spring. We haven't decided for sure where we're going, but at this point I think anyplace will be great. It seems like it has been forever since we have been able to take time off to take a fun trip for just the two of us. In fact, I could probably go tomorrow...

Well, hope everyone out there is doing well and finding their own little color in the world.

Keep hoping -
JAH

It's a disappointment about the job, Jane. They don't know what they've missed. I do hope something else wonderful comes along soon. So glad to hear that the class is going well - I know that has been a new world and of course you don't feel out of place! You're youthful, intelligent, motivated -- you're perfect for that class! Hang in there.

I was bored and decided to Google everyone's name. In google-ing Jane Pratt (jane horwedel had nothing, sorry) i found the following:

"You know Jane Pratt, right? The former editor in chief of Sassy and Jane magazine, who recently—and for [publicity] absolutely no reason whatsoever—copped to having a hot lesbian affair with Drew Barrymore circa 1994?"

MOTHER!! haha. good thing you're not jane pratt any more!
