I was sorting through high school pictures last night in an attempt to finally have them ALL sorted and in photo albums . . . I still have some work to do, but I made a little progress. Anyway, whenever I look at old pictures and ALLOW myself to actually look at them and feel something, it's an emotional experience. I know I've said I don't care about what the people from my high school are up to, but the truth is there are SOME of them that I care about. I wonder what they're doing now, I wonder if I was a good enough friend to them, I wonder if my lack of friendship to certain ones who wanted to be in me/Kathy/Andrea/Brandon's circle of friends had an effect on them. I hope it didn't, but I know that at the time it really hurt them. Mostly I get homesick -- not for Colstrip, but for the friendships I had there.
And strangely enough, Andy-Ra e-mailed me this morning. She sent me some awesome pictures from Hawaii, and since I miss her so much -- and feeling inspired from the pictures (ok, and jealous) -- I put together a page for her in PhotoShop. It took me about 20 minutes (don't hate me!) Wanna see? (Andy, we can get this printed through an on-line developer, I'll tell you how later.)

Beautiful page, Jen. I just might have to learn me some PhotoShop. I have been putting it off because it just seems so complicated - I do have it..... ugh, something else to add to my list of things I need to do.
Really, what a beautiful job, you're doing with all these pictures.

Seriously, that page looks so professional and gorgeous. I wish I had a quarter of your talent Jen.
