Last night we slept in our new house for the first time! We moved during the day with the help of my friend and co-worker Allison, and the big things are all in their places. The kitchen was the hub of the move and is now full of boxes. I am sore […]

Clint and I spent the past week traveling to Sterling, Illinois, to be with his extended family and Grandpa Jack during his last breaths. It was a moving experience and I wish that everybody had a “BDJ” in their family, and knew the closeness that he fostered among all his kids and grandkids.
The world […]

Saturday Clint and I started looking at houses in person.  We are looking in the area of the new building site for Orthofix  - my company will make the move in 2010 - since I am in love with a short commute.  This is only about 20 miles away from our current location, but it’s […]

Clint and I were married on September 12!  So far life is amazing and we are very happy.  The only thing I would change is to be retired so we could spend all our waking moments together.  I’m aware of the cheesy factor here, but I can’t help myself!  I’m so lucky to have found […]

Thanks to all the fathers out there, especially my Papa.  Thank you for encouraging me.  Thank you for your support even when I wasn’t interested in normal career paths.  Thank you for respecting me as an artist and a quirky drawer-of-body-parts!  Thanks for letting me eat raw spaghetti and marshmallows when Mom wasn’t looking.

In February I moved back to Texas with Clint (and of course Ed the cat).   We are now in McKinney, which is a bit north of Dallas, and I work as a medical illustrator at Orthofix.   I’m in the marketing/communications department doing illustrations and animations.  It’s my first time in marketing and my first time with […]

Hello!  This update is long-overdue but here’s a belated thank you to everyone who left me a comment!  I have matched your cyber-donations for a total of $20 which went to the Greater Lansing Food Bank.  I changed states from MA to TX since the last post, and so decided to support my hometown pantry […]

This is a bit of a different post. I’m asking you to leave me a comment. Any comment will do! Is this because I need to feel less alone in the echoing halls of cyber-space? Well, maybe a little. But mostly this is a way to raise food for hungry […]
