I thought I would share my thoughts on the recent rejection we have suffered here at the bonham foundation. As you might have read over on Shane's blog, we found out today we were not selected to be a part of Colonial House. I seriously can't believe we got as far along in the process as we did. A part of me was thinking it would be a very cool experience and as hard as it would be, I would go away from it a better person, blah blah blah. The other part of me was thinking it was five months. It was a ton of hard work. I just want to get on with my life. So, the decision was made for us and we will be getting on with our lives.

Two months as of today until Shane graduates. I have a lot to do. I have to plan this trip to Europe. I really want to go, but I am having a really hard time getting motivated to get it all planned out. It seems very overwhelming. I don't really know how much I need to plan it, though. I think we just want an idea of where we will go and to just cruise around, without serious plans. Like, ideas of places we want to go and so on. I need to do it. I have two days off after tonight, so maybe I will get started on it. It is hard to do anything when I am off. I just want to relax.

Easter is coming up and I have a feeling it will be like any other Sunday up here. I have to work Saturday night. I will come home very tired and struggle to stay out of the warm bed so that we can go to church. I will then struggle to get Shane out of bed and struggle to stay awake once at church. Then, we will come home. I will take a nap and Shane will study. Then it will be Monday.
