For the past month and half, Stella and 4 of her class mates have been studying Title IX and the impact it has on today's society in women's sports. Last night as parents we had the honor of seeing all their hard work and research put together in a fantastic presentation. It was well thought out, well researched and very well presented. They all had to dress up in their respective sports attire so of course Stella presented in her GS suite.  Did you know that the first women to run the Boston marathon was in 1974?!? And, she wore a hoody so no one would know she was a women (just one of the things we learned last night). Crazy!!! That was only 38 years ago!   The presentation was about 30 minutes long and Stella was the moderator. She ROCKED it! I think she was pretty happy it was over, she was quite nervous to speak in front of all the parents but as soon as she got up there all that fear went away.  Woo Hoo!  A little surpri...

I made a drive down to Denver yesterday to FINALLY pick up my Sony A55 camera from the repair shop. Oh how I've missed her. She wasn't too broken but the clip that holds the SD card was no longer working. A month later and a trip to Texas to get fixed, and she's back!  One of the passions/obsessions that Troy and I share is taking pictures. We love it so much so that we have a bit of a hard time sharing one camera. So, we have two. Troy's always been a Nikon kinda guy so he has the Nikon T3100, he use to have the D80 (which got stolen) a bit of a step down for him but I still think he takes incredible pictures, he's got amazing composition skills!  Troy did the research and the other camera (my camera) we have is the Sony A55. Voted the 2010 Camera of the Year by PopPhoto.com, a great resource website for anything and everything cameras. The one unique thing about my Sony is that it has it's stabilization within the body of the camera as oppo...

Thankful today and everyday!  Love and Gratitude! 

So I know Adele has been SO overplayed the last two years but........I still love her. I heard this song on one of my Pandora channels today and it made me smile. She has such depth to her voice and soul, it's simply beautiful and it's just gets better when she sings it live! Her entire album is one to listen to. Although most of her songs have such sadness and heaviness to them they always seen to put a smile on my face and make me sing at the top of my lungs (only in the car, of course, and only alone), I love it!  Hope everyone has had a fantastic Monday!  Sending out much love and gratitude. 

Words to live by... So many great moments, minutes, hours, days, and years. Blessed At the office today, and just finishing every thing up.....with a little extra time on my hands I thought I'd send out some gratitude for all the great people in my life (that includes YOU). How lucky can one girl be! Woo hoo! It's a pizza, beer and flower planting the deck planters, kinda night. Woot! HAPPY Earth Day....HAPPY Sunday!  Love and Gratitude!!  

A little Saturday morning Florence to put a little spring in my step! Time to tackle the basement with a little spring cleaning!!! Woo Hoo!  Happy Saturday!  Love and Gratitude!

Troy and I have been waiting a few weeks for this movie to come out. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a bit obsessed with Bob and all that he stands (stood) for. His message is truly timeless and more so then ever do they show the true human side of this man. Though not always perfect (none of us are) he spread a message of loving one another no matter what our differences.  If you get a chance, SEE THIS MOVIE. Great footage, great interviews, great stories and best of all GREAT music.  one love... Love and Gratitude.
