I met Amanda Hawkins through a mutual friend and colleague, Tohbias Juniel, when he asked me to take photos of the Martin Luther King event in Denver last year. Amanda sang the national anthem and  I was blown away by her voice. I then fell in love with her single "Get Back In Line" and often watch the video when I just want to pick up my mood. She recently played at the school fundraising event I used to manage, Tellerpalooza. Let's just say little miss Amanda Hawkins blew to roof off the Bluebird. But more importantly, little elementary school girls watched her in awe. Absolute AWE. Proving events like this are not just about raising money. It's about showing these kids that anything is possible.

Last week I posted about pre-e and mentioned that Dex was a premature baby. Honestly, it was one of the most stressful times of my life. Since then, I have bonded with other moms of premature babies, and also found support through the March of Dimes. We try to join in their annual March for Babies, but sometimes it conflicts with my birthday (this Sunday) and any corresponding plans. Yup. As it does this year. It's amazing to think these are the first photos we have of Dex. The first memories of motherhood I have are of the NICU and tubes and lights and stress. But without this amazing medical intervention, my son would not be here. I had a placental abruption, which could not have been predicted - and they still have no idea why it happened.

No joke. One of my favorite bands in Colorado is made up of just two guys, Nate Valdez and Eric Riley. This duo is able to make some really loud, really good rock and roll and have fun while doing it. I was able to…
