Monday, December 12, 2011 at 4:58PM I spent Saturday morning at the Tiny Toes Music Together class in Hinsdale. This is the second time I've had the privilege of sitting in on a class and it's really a blast. If you have little ones I can't recommend this class enough, Roberta is super talented and the kids and adults alike have a great time.
Friday, November 4, 2011 at 6:28PM I'm a minute late with this but I wanted to thank all of you that took the time to help me with Kevin's 40 memories birthday project. It felt really really good to watch him take a walk down memory lane. I cried, he didn't..but he did laugh a lot and I know it made him feel really special that you all were thinking about him.
The idea was shamelessly stolen from this lovely lady, and if any of you ever decide to do a memory project for someone I owe you a memory. Even if I have to make one up.
Friday, October 28, 2011 at 6:13AM On Sunday I will celebrate my 7th wedding anniversary by putting my husband on a plane to Miami for two weeks. I will try not to think about the hurricane bearing down on Florida from the other direction. This is pretty emblematic of the year we've had; one filled with dizzying highs and gut crushing lows. Looking back on it though, I can't say I'd change a thing. Today it feels like we have wind in our sails and blue skies on our horizon after months of turbulent seas.
The last two months with Kevin largely absent have highlighted in stark detail all the ways in which my life is richer with him in it.
Kevin, when you are here I laugh 76% more and I change 100% fewer light bulbs. Thank you for being my partner in crime and home repair for these six trips around the sun. Let's do it again.
Friday, September 2, 2011 at 7:16AM I tease Kevin a lot about his taste in music. We are six years apart in age, but a generation apart in our musical wheelhouses. There is some overlap for sure, but his carefully ripped jeans were acid washed while mine were stone washed and topped with a flannel shirt.
So it was with some trepidation that I agreed to see the Poison/Motley Crue tour not once but twice this summer. It was no Pearl Jam, but I will not even pretend I didn't have a blast both times.

The best part by far was seeing Kevin relive his misspent youth.
Monday, August 22, 2011 at 1:27PM A while back I was invited to shoot some photos of two local tribute bands, Fanfare and Silver Pipe. Man, I LOVE shooting live music and these guys were completely inspiring. If you are a fan of Prog both of these bands are a must see. You can catch Fanfare at the upcoming Ethelfest. My friends Grand Parade will also be there.
This was also my first concert shoot since aquiring the 5d and I have to admit I do not hate the high iso performance on this bad boy at all, no sir.
