Family (a.k.a. Mama)

Jude and I met at a college party and started dating in 1999. He's a chef by both passion and trade. I'm a former teacher working full time for an education nonprofit. We both love to travel and, between us, we've lived in: LA, Brooklyn, Chicago, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, London, Prague, San Francisco, Singapore, Philadelphia, and Wisconsin. Most importantly, though, we are parents to the most joyful little sprite you ever did see. Our daughter, Ruby, arrived on the scene the day after our second wedding anniversary. Her very first word was "mama," but she initially used it for me, Jude, and herself...to her, "mama" = "family." I sure do love our little "mama."
