Today

Today started the second week of Mitch's new job at the pain management clinic. He seems to like it a lot. He couldn't possibly hate the 40 hours a week, being home every day by 4:30 in the afternoon, a fraction of the patients he saw at the hospital, weekends and holidays off and that it is located in a really cool building near downtown Fort Worth.

I had an interview last Friday for a p/t gig at a non-profit doing community engagement. Will find out about it later this week or next. I felt good about the interview, but frankly don't have strong emotions one way or the other, since things are going so well as they are. It would be fun getting back into that as a staff person, though. It's a great non-profit and I'd love to be a part of their team.

I start wedding planning school tonight at UTA. Super stoked! Classes are on Monday nights.

Having Mitch home on the weekend allowed us to hit the mother of all estate sales on Saturday morning bright and early. They had vintage clothes, galore, lots of cool house stuff, lots of stuff to sale on ebay and craigslist (and lots not to, too). The f350 four door big o' truck was loaded to the gills and we realized that perhaps a 12-step program might be in store. But we aren't quitters.

I had the opportunity to witness a beautiful balloon release for a woman who passed away before it was time. I don't know her family, but I got to take photos of this beautiful expression of her life and am grateful I did. It was nothing short of gorgeous in the downtown, late-afternoon sun. Yet another reminder to love with all your heart, forgive quickly, laugh often and be the most you you can be.
