My Mum gave me the best birthday card this year.
It's pretty much true...
More reflections to come...

Eye Candy
I have a thang for candy. Not just any kind of candy. Unique candy.
Carthage, Illinois seemed to have a thing for Lemon drops.
I like them!
Also, as you know, I have a thang for lemons.

Leap into this...
 |
| Yvon officially joined his highschool rugby team today but still loves rock'n his cello. I love this guy! |
that I'm feeling like I'm running a little empty
when I come to my blog.
I miss #MyFale and the discovery that I enjoy here.
I need to schedule time for a little more freedom here.
My brain's a little tired though, so, for now, a movie recommendation....
Boychoir, directed by Francois Girard
and written by Ben Ripley
You know it's good if it has
Dustin Hoffman and Kathy Bates in it.
(It's on Netflix right now! ~ Feb.2016)
Contains many topics under intense discussion within
my Education journey.
Best movie that I've seen lately.
When you watch it, think Harry Potter but their magic is MUSIC!
You're welcome.
Happy Leap Year!

Northern Falé VI
We reached three big milestones in our house this weekend:
1. André turned 40!
The results?
Voilà!
Conceptual Front Elevations
Conceptual North Elevation
Conceptual South Elevation
We're not done.
Conceptual means nothing is concrete.
Meetings with the city are in our near future.
A progression of drawings are yet to be developed.
Children are anxious to further inspire via minecraft and
the right craftsmen have yet to be discovered.
In the meantime, there's much joy in the journey to behold...
Happy 40th my André!
What a memorable milestone.

When it rains...
It was a mild Christmas
in Waterloo, so,
Santa brought
umbrellas,
instead of sleds.
Wishing you a
happy & inspiring
new year for
2016!
Love,

One of those Perfect Moments
I went back to school this fall.
It has been a stimulating challenge.
After 14 years since I graduated from my undergrad in
I was ready for the challenge of a Masters degree.
(thanks to the helpful nudge suggestion from André:
Me to André: talk to me about something!
André, in the midst of many deadlines: what do you want to talk about?
Me: something interesting! Go!
André: I don't know what to talk about right now
Me: you're SO boring!
*after weeks of hearing me say this...*
André: maybe YOU'RE the boring one! I think it's about time you take a course
Me: *gasp!*
I was shocked! but he was right!)
After many years of research and discussions with some great people (including the most recent above discussion with André), I decided on the
program at
I took a bit of a leap of faith into school and began my studies.
Just when doubt began to creep into my honeymoon stage,
this arrived in the mail...
An entire issue of the Journal of Ontario Association of Architects dedicated to Architecture and Music.
It was one of those perfect moments where everything felt right.
After journeying with André for over 10 years of education, between his undergrad, masters and architecture internship, I have most certainly been influenced by his studies.
Seeing this issue validated my decision to go back to school and
my everyday life and marriage of
music & architecture.
(André has also noted that I no longer tell him that he's boring.)
Oh! I'm also now blogging on "Edublogs" as part of my research and classwork. If you're feeling bored, head over to my blog there. I'll be posting a lot of my research discoveries there:
