.heart to heart.

let it be known.
i love jen hatmaker {if you don't know who she is, go here and educate yourself}.
i love her blog, i love her new hgtv show, i love her books.

i spent the last week of my summer vacation traveling to the land of enchantment {aka new mexico} with my friend kim {formerly known as new friend kim}, and i may have fallen in love.
with the state, that is.
her family lives near albuquerque, she wanted a rode trip companion, and i'm not one to say no to a little adventure. so away we went....

change is inevitable.
life brings about new relationships, and locations, and ways of thinking.
friendships start to look different, people lose touch, and sometimes we find we can't quite connect in the same ways we once did.

i realized a long time ago that you can't expect your husband to know what you want.
no amount of "signals" on your part can take the place of just calmly saying "right now, i feel __________/i would really like you to do ___________/i'm upset because ___________."...
