light up my life

I just stumbled on a great blog that said what I couldn't but wish that I could. Do you ever do that? And I feel totally inspired by it, but I worry that to use that inspiration it might sound too much like theirs thus ripping them off and no longer being my own, so...I won't even attempt it.

However, I will say that I am really glad that I get to be the kind of person that I am, do the things that I feel make me a better person and still have my children with me. I hope that by following my dreams I inspire them to follow theirs.

This is just one of the crazy places Madelyn ended up. She was 2 months old and I was preparing for my lighting design final. I believe my partner was Adam Todd...but I can't swear by it. Afterall, I had just had a baby...my thinking wasn't clear. Whomever my partner was, was out on the flimsy-ladder-of-death adjusting the lights. David was on the road and it was really late at night. Madelyn slept the entire time as we yelled back and forth about programming and synchronization. She was such a great baby like that - I could take her anywhere. She is probably the only two month old EVER to lay swaddled in a light booth. We got an A, of course!
