Hi all,
Just thought I'd post a blog since it's been awhile. Was great seeing everyone in December!
So if you haven't heard, the biggest news is that I was laid off from my job...again. The budget for our account was cut significantly and they had to let people go. In all honestly, it was a blessing because I was beyond miserable. So now I'm back to being unemployed. I'm actually considering going back to school and changing gears completely. I've applied to NYU to enroll in their drama therapy program (something that has really peaked my interest). I'm also taking one class at the City College of New York to explore their Theatre Education program. I'm trying to create some options and explore new directions because the lifestyle of a PR professional just doesn't jive with our long-term goals.
Rob and I actually just got back from the Dominican Republic for a much needed 5 day rest. We had a great time. The weather was perfect, the beaches were gorgeous. The food...eh..not so great. But it's what you expect from an all-inclusive. I must admit though it was sort of bizarre lounging at a resort when we were only a few hundred miles away from utter destruction. I wondered if any of the left over food from the buffets were going to Haiti. But no-one in the resort wanted to discuss it....
The biggest news is probably that Rob has decided to follow in Uncle Mike and Uncle Shel's footsteps and has grown this hideous gotee. :) Maybe you'll all get the privelege of seeing it soon. We're considering coming back to Chicago for Passover. We'll keep you posted. Our next trip is to Raleigh, NC in March for Rob's cousin's bar-mitzvah.
Other news.... Despite my employment status, Rob and I are still actively on the house hunt. This has been a grueling process and we still are spending most of our weekends in Westchester. We are now widening our search to Jersey, but it's definitely not our top choice. Hopefully we'll find something soon. Love Saric's house! :)
As far as the Abbey vs. Ostoff controversy, I will first not try to be offended that the NY area was not included in the poll. :) All kidding aside, I think we need a change of pace so my vote would be for the Ostoff. Are there any other places that we haven't considered? Isn't the American Club in Kohler supposed to be nice? Is there anything to do there?
So that's that. My longest blog ever. Hope everyone is doing well. Miss you! Love, Jeni

ummmm. I actually think that was the longest blog ever period. As for the poll, did you not see the poll to the right of the blog homepage?! Love you anyway my darling sister!
Jen, we must be on the same wavelength! I called you today and left a message just to check in. Thanks for the update. Good luck with everything! Love, Aunt Jeri
Thank you so much for the up-date, Jen. Sounds like you two have been quite busy. I'm sure that you weren't devastated to lose your job since it wasn't a good fit from the getgo. You did surprise me when you said that you were considering a career change...go for it girl!!!!! Grampa and I are shleping along, one day at a time. He had a nasty fall recently and hasn't bounced back as quickly as we hoped. Thrilled to hear that you're considering coming in for Pesach. Thanks again for the Blog & all rhe news. Love you, x x x x
Great to hear from you Jen, sorry about your job, but sounds like you need a change of pace. Going back to school may be just what you need. Good luck on the job hunt, remember houses are much cheaper in Atlanta!
Is Atlanta closer to Chicago than New York??? Great blog, Jen. Love, Mom
Jeni, thanks for the update on everything going on with you and Rob. It's wonderful to hear from you. The career change ideas sound very interesting. That's really cool that you're exploring some classes and programs. I hope the house hunting is going well. Lots of love, sara
