Happy Monday!

I am so glad to see last week over! I'm actually happy it is Monday, which NEVER happens. I never thought I'd say it, but thank G-d for Monday!Thanks for the prayers and positive thoughts from last week. Someone has been arrested for the murders. Time will tell if it is the right person with enough evidence for conviction. In the meantime, I feel better knowing the animal capable of murdering a pregnant woman in broad daylight is behind bars. I went to the viewing last week and saw a still born baby for the first time in my life; he was buried in his mother's arms. He was beautiful. How could someone have done this? Even more heartbreaking, was her 16 month old daughter walking around the funeral home. She has no idea what has happened and will grow up having never known her mother. When I first heard of this tragedy, the first person I thought of was my own little brother. We are as close as my friend was with her sister. I cannot even fathom the thought of losing someone that close to me. My brother and I always say "I love you" before hanging up the phone or when leaving each other. Somehow, that meant so much more to me this week. This whole situation is a reminder of just how precious life is and how easily it can be taken away. My other friend's husband is doing fine, but still hospitalized. Last Wednesday another friend of mine miscarried. It wasn't far enough along to require any surgery and she seems to be taking the situation very well. There is a lot of healing to be done, but the hardest days are behind. Well, with everything that happened last week, I'm just going to lay low and try to be a good friend. I'm emotionally exhausted. I'm pretty sure I blew my interview. I'm really bummed because I had been looking forward to it for weeks, but my head just wasn't there. I'll just have to see what happens. In the meantime, I already have plans B and C in line. I love spring and summer because it is always a time for change and adventure in my life. I come out of winter hibernation ready for new challenges. This year is no different. Over the next few months, I'll have a new job, new friends, and new home. There are also the numerous outdoor festivals, camping, hiking, and kayaking trips. Of course I am going to Cali to visit family, and this year I'm even going to do a little outdoor top-rope (that's rock climbing). I figured I might as well give this blog a overhaul too. Besides, I could use a mindless activity to take up a few hours. What do you think? Any bugs or suggestions? I'll also be shutting down shop over at 100 Things. I think one blog is more than enough. I'll keep it up until all past posts are re-posted here. After that, you can only find me on one channel :)
