After going non-stop for a few weeks, it was nice to have a bit of a breather last night. A Girls Night scheduled, haven't had one in months. My girlfriends and I used to do this on a fairly regular schedule...but there just hasn't been time lately. One of my goals on my 101 goals in 1001 days was to have a girl's night devoted to viewing a movie made my HBO called "Iron Jawed Angels".
It was about the women's suffrage movement and what women went through to get the right to vote. The movie was awesome and really made us understand that not having the right to vote affected more than voting...you also couldn't serve on a jury. If women were to stand trial for something, they would not have a jury of their peers...it would only be men. You were taxed without representation and made to follow laws that you had no say in creating. We had a great night drinking, snacking, learning history and talking.
Things are good here, Mikey and I are doing great. We are seriously kicking around the idea of a 3-5 year stint of living in Ohio and helping Mel get her teen center off the ground. We will be helping from here if we stay in WA, but a move would allow us to do more. It's a thought...if anyone has any good stuff they think should be added to our pro/con list...shoot it our way!! It's a tough decision.

Go....
You want to do something good, and this is an opportunity for each of you.
Come East young ones.
it would be sad to see another aunt leave (especially since nick and i may be your neighbors soon) but if it's something you want to do than do it! you don't want to regret it later
