Gigantic congratulations and ‘you rock!’ to my awesome pseudo-husband! He won best in show at the 25th International Juried Exhibition in Summit, NJ for his graphite drawing Supersymmetry Exists. . . just not here!!! Check it out on his website and feel free to let him know how awesome he is!

His piece looked fantastic and the opening rocked! There were tons of people there.

One of my favorites was a charcoal by Annie Murphy-Robinson (top center), one of my new favorite artists. Her work is incredibly moving!

Something that makes me smile is memories of the road trip that D and I took out west a few years ago. Hmmm, probably more like 5 years ago. Not really a “few”. We flew out to Salt Lake City, Utah and rented a car and cruised from there. We explored Utah a bit (not as much as we would have liked but we’re saving it for another trip), and headed to Yellowstone and then on up to Montana to visit family and to thoroughly and completely and passionately enjoy Glacier National Park. We didn’t have enough time there. Didn’t explore enough, but what we did explore I can confidently say we both fell in love with. I’ve been longing to go back. The mountains there are so majestic and there’s a more primitive feel there than there is in, for instance, Yellowstone (which we also did love!). This photo is actually not from Glacier or Yellowstone but it is from that trip. From the Tetons, which we didn’t get to explore nearly enough. It was more of a quick drive-by; an afterthought. But thoughts of that trip and this photo make me smile.

Sidenote:  We need to go back because I borrowed my mom’s camera on this trip and took some amazing photos. NOT in high resolution! Ahhhhhh. Sadness.

…. and we say goodbye to an incredibly BIG year. 2010 will definitely not be forgotten.

Hello, 2011! I admit to being a little apprehensive of you, but am willing to find out what good things you have in store. I’m ready!

Here are some glimpses into our new digs. Yes, we still need to hang things on the walls – it’s looking a bit too ultra-minimalist still, but it’s so nice to have a house with SPACE! Nothing will match the coziness of this house that we loved and cherished. But on to new stories and new experiences. Now, if only this one would be transplanted to the mountains of western north carolina. A girl can dream (obsess), right? On to the photos:

Yay for working fireplaces!

(Using this kitchen is so easy – feels like cooking at a vacation house!)

More pictures to follow once art is hung and furniture is refinished, though I’m sure those multiple refinishing projects that I’m planning aren’t happening very soon. Definitely not soon enough! Also, need some personal items to make it feel more like home. I do feel pretty at home here though, but now I just hope that the home feeling spills into our surroundings (beside the house)…

I am going to miss these two women tremendously. The baby, we’re taking her with us. Marly and Jessica have been such an integral part of my life for the past four years. Though Jessica and I have seen each other less since I’ve been pregnant, and then since I’ve been a mama, we still do see each other and I always know that she’s close. Maybe that transitional period will make it easier… I doubt it though. I realized today that I’m going to miss both of you more than I even realized. Sigh. Much, much, much love to two amazing ladies who mean the world to me. You are two of my best friends and I’m leaving it at that.   Marly, get Skype. Jessica, I’ll be tweeting and IMing (and Skyping too).

I just came across this amazing site, Parallel Zero (thanks, Pacing the Panic Room). I can get lost on here for hours. The site hosts “A collection of stories from every corner of the globe, a strictly on-line bank of ideas proposing only photographic reportages of the highest quality, selected with care, from ethnography to adventure, geography, science, travel and current affairs, always accompanied by in-depth journalistic texts, informative files and comprehensive captions.”. It’s wonderful! Please check it out, especially if you are into photography. You can explore different areas through the world through photographic stories. The photos are beautiful and interesting, sad, shocking, colorful. Time to go visit Brazil now. Enjoy!
