ok, I’ve been holding out on the news. It’s only because I wanted a few days for it to sink in. This fall I’ll be teaching drawing and design for Torrey Pines High School. I already feel welcomed by the staff, and I’m excited to be teaching art again! Torrey Pines High School was ranked [...]

I’ve always known that having kids was something that I would do, but I’ve never really looked forward to it. I’ve always been keenly aware of the amount of work that children require. The nights without much sleep, the feedings and changings every few hours, the constant attention that must be paid…and most grevious for [...]

more pics from Hoopfest! The first game- Julia, Dad, and Scott playing on the streets of downtown Spokane. This is what I saw looking skyward and groundward as I stood in the fountain with Kaitlyn. and finally, Kaitlyn hiding behind Grandma when the fountain spray got too serious.

Happy summer! I got a bike today. =) [...]

I have the occassion every few days to drive by Baskin Robbins. I get nervous as it approaches on the right side of my car, and I do my best to distract myself from it’s presence. I listen to the song on the radio, I think about the tasks that need to be completed today, [...]

Here’s a bunch of randomness- I ran about three miles today- pain free (but not sweat free!) it seems that my self-imposed physical therapy is working. =) I missed three calls from someone….Mr. no number. I have been haunted by this random calling person- who I never get to talk to, and doesn’t leave a [...]
