Famous People and Me

My job gives me the opportunity to meet famous people
from time-to-time.

Dr. John and me - Feb 2010


















Mitch Ryder and me - July 2010



I'm still around




I've not posted in a very long time and I honestly thought I would keep up with this. Well, we've been married for 2 1/2 years and I really feel married now. I've attached a goofy photo of us at my mom's house. We gave her a camera for her birthday and she was testing it out by taking our photo. I just got my first pair of prescription glasses so this is one of the first photos taken with me wearing my glasses. I think we look pretty married here.

Life has been good but it has been busier than I can ever remember as a single gal. It doesn't help that I have a two hour round trip commute to work every day. I've also joined Jazzercise and I workout 3-4 times a week. (that is 3 to 4 hours a week) I've lost 30 pounds since we got married. I did this by exercise and Weight Watchers. We enjoy bike rides in the summer too and that helps keep the weight down. I've been trying to get connected to my new community. We joined the Chamber of Commerce and I volunteer there and I also volunteer at a historic home (near my home) as a docent. I like history.

I have friends where I work that I'm trying to keep up with, then I've made a few friends in my new city and then I have friends from college I try to stay in touch with but I'm finding that I need more downtime and maybe I won't be able to see my friends as much. Bummer.

We've visited Seattle and Chicago since we've been married. I've been to Philly (for a girls weekend away) and San Antonio (for business) and Dave snowmobiles all winter. He joined a snowmobile club called Snomads. They are a great group of people.

Married life has been good. We would like a family and I was pregnant early in our marriage but I miscarried 1/2 way through the pregnancy and it has been tough to get pregnant again. We are looking into adoption.

I'm not going to promise I'll write again soon. We will just see what happens.
