I’d say I can comfortably check goal number 4 off my list: “Spending quality time with friends and family.” Within the past 5 days, I’ve managed to jam in kayaking the Chicago River with Danny, see the Dark Knight Rises (which I’ve been wanting to see since it came out), two days of Lollapalooza weekend […]

Inspired by a good colleague of mine, Brittany Bekas Photography, I’ve decided to start blogging about my monthly goals, in hopes to actually stick to them… thanks for the idea, Britt!
