Sept 2003 - I was looking at Caymen the other day, and just really couldn't believe how great he is doing! He is not just walking again, but running around after his brother and sister! He's starting to talk, too. And he's getting downright chunky! It is so amazing to see. Sometimes I forget how sick he was for so long, and that is a very nice thing to be able to say.

May 2003 - I am now house poor, so I can't spend any more money on my own house, so I went to work tile-ing Holly's house. The amazing Jess and Brent got everything donated to Holly to hopefully help Caymen on his quest to get better!

Mar 2003 - Caymen continues to get better. He is being treated at All Children's hospital in St. Pete every couple of months for Systemic Onset Juvenille Rheumatoid Arthritis. Although there are some doubts as to whether or not this is what he actually has, the strong medicine he's on seems to be working wonders!

Feb 2003 - I have amazing friends! Melinda and Anthony took us on a Disney cruise! So. Much. Fun! I can't believe Mel and I have been friends since the second grade! It's so nice to have friends that have known you through your different stages of life, and accept and support you as you are.

Nov 2002 - Caymen is doing better. He has been able to eat and is gaining weight little by little. We're not out of the woods, but things are looking better!

Oct 2002 - Caymen, Holly's youngst just got out of the hospital after having been transferred from hospital to hospital for almost 3 months. He has been to Wuesthoff, Arnold Palmer, Shands, and was just back at Arnold Palmer again before being released. They thought it was possible Arthritus at one point, but now they don't know and sent him home undiagnosed, because the hospitals were killing him. He is not in good shape, and any prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Fall 2002 - I've been working on house projects. The house didn't need any work, but I've had a great time painting, decorating and pulling up carpets to reveal wood floors! I got really lucky with this house, and the wonderful people that let me buy it!

Aug 2002 - A fantastic trip to Maine to visit Tini, Will and Nancy, and to attend a memorial weekend for our dearly missed Dave. I don't think it could have been a more wonderful visit, that is, unless it could have been longer and if Dave could have been there with us in body (he was certainly there in spirit!)

Jul 2002 - I bought a house! I've been looking for a while. I was thinking of something that needed some work, so that I could get a deal on it, and then have some projects to keep me busy. Of course, then I saw this house and fell in love!

Mar 2002- Dan has been a long time fan of Luka Bloom, an Irish singer/songwriter. We flew to Boston for the weekend to catch him at a small concert in a pub. Dan had previously had some round about contact with him concerning his website, so we got to meet him after the concert - it was really exciting, and he was a really cool guy! Oh - the concert was awesome, too!

Mar 2001- I must have done something really good in a past life, because I have some serious good Kharma coming back around! I was given the opportunity to use a condo in Trasure Cay, Abaco, Bahama for a week - free! It was very last minute, but Dan and I were able to finagle a flight down there, and had an amazing time. We also had the great fortune of meeting four really wonderful people from Maine, and even though we were only there for a week, I consider them great friends! Thanks Tini, Will, Nancy and Dave!

Feb 2001 - Went to DC to visit my friends Molly and Mike, then to WV to visit with Dan's dad and meet more relatives.  Everyone was so nice, and we had a wonderful trip.  I'm done with the icky mono, but I got a cold in WV, go figure...

Jan 2001 - Working on Voice-over demo, and hoping to get some voice-over work going in the next year.

Nov 2000 - Still sick, not contagious, so spent Thanksgiving with Dan's extended family in North Carolina.  Had a great time meeting everyone and doing a little touring around.  Wish I had had more energy!

OCT 2000 - Well, I'm down with Mono - ick!!!  

Sept 2000 - Community theatre again, but just me this time.  I had the opportunity to play Magnolia in Titusville Playhouse's production of "Showboat".  The show was a big hit, and I had a fantastic time!

May 2000 - Dan and I decided to do some community theatre.  We had a blast hanging out and getting on stage for Tituville Playhouse's production of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown".  

March 2000 - Dan and I had the opportunity to record the soundtrack for a short film by impossible films called "Quest for a Sock" which was scored by our dear friend Sergei Kossenko.  We had a great time, and it is a very cool little film (Monte-Python-esque).  It should be appearing at the 2001 Florida Film Festival.

Jan 2000 - Dan and I took a 16 day trip to Ireland.  It was absolutely amazing!  We rented a car and drove around the entire Island (1400 Mi. in 11 days!).  We had so many great experiences there, that I can't possibly list them all, but two highlights:  The Cliffs of Moher...all I can say is "Oh...My...", and singing with a 'trad' band in a great little pub in Tralee.  It took me 11 months to finish the scrapbook for the trip, but it's done, so if you stop by, I'll bore you with it as much as you want!

Jan 2000 -  New Years Eve... We spent it with my extended family at Disney.  We had an amazing experience and were asked to play at the Polynesian Concierge room following the fireworks.  Something I'll always remember.

Nov 1999 - Learned to knit, and knitted a Christmas stocking for Dan because he didn't have one.  It actually turned out great, but I won't be knitting anything else for a while!

April 1999 - I was the director for MIPC Players and we did "The Wizard of OZ" at MIHS Auditorium.  It was agreat show and a wonderful group of kids.  I am so proud of them!
