hi.  my name is sarah.  this is where i talk about Me and My Family.  so here goes...

i was lucky enough to lay eyes on the man who would be the father of my child at a show at the empty bottle back in august of 2002. man, was he hot! i ogled as he set up his drumkit for the show he was about to play with the band watchers, and i wondered how in the world was i ever going to get up the nerve to talk to him. luckily, the frontman of his band approached me after the show because he saw me taking photos, and he introduced me to that Hot Drummer a week later. ted (that turned out to be the Hot Drummer’s name) and i became friends, and then we became more than friends, and then SURPRISE! we got pregnant in january 2004. we got married that april, and cadence joy came along on september 24, 2004. we moved into our condo in december 2005 and have been busy setting up home in our little corner of chicago ever since.

cadence is a rambunctious spirited toddler.  she LOVES having visitors and provides endless entertainment for those who grace our home with their presence.  she loves to play the drums, just like her daddy, and she loves elizabeth mitchell cds. 

as a family,  we are trying to live more simply, more green, more slowly, more mindfully, more compassionately, more creatively, more peacefully, more fearlessly.  we feel pretty clueless sometimes, but i don't mind not having all the answers.  in the meantime, i record my deliberately random thoughts here: www.sarahjanerhee.com.
