New Job!

Big news! I accepted a job offer and put in notice at my current company! I start working in the loop and taking the train June 2! Wish me luck.

I'll be writing and editing for construction and architecture magazine...sound familiar? Yeah, it's my old job. But at a different company in a sweet location--in the heart of downtown Chicago!

Mom's Memorial Service Information

Some folks have asked so I thought I should give an update to all about the memorial service:

My mom's memorial service will be in Flint, Michigan, on Sunday.

There will be a visitation from 3-4 p.m. at Plumb-Smith Funeral Home, followed by a short memorial service. My mom was cremated. I will have a photo album and some pictures there so people can remember has when she was healthy and happy.

There will be a late lunch at the Burton Eagles club; my aunts and Dale's mom (and her sister) are making dishes to pass.

Thanks for being such good friends to us.

We've put some pictures of mom and family online if anyone is interested: Gallery!

New Bikes!

We got new bikes! Very exciting! The photo above is my new Trek.

And this is Dale's new Le Mond!

We love them! Dale was a smarty-pants that got us a great deal. He did some work for a Trek shop on Michigan Ave. and took a store credit and an employee discount. So it was almost a barter deal that landed us some sweet new toys.

Dale also got a new pair of shoes that he loved so much he had to take a pretty picture of them!

Mom Is Sick; Think Happy Thoughts

My (Rebecca's) mom is in the hospital down in Memphis. We're considering heading down there, just waiting on word from my stepdad. Please send any positive vibes/prayers/well wishes her way.

Thanks.

Amusing/Embarrasing Moment of the Week!

I'm a book editor. And while doing some research for work, I stumbled upon a book I edited last summer sitting on the shelf at Borders.
What made this one unusual?
I was thanked in the acknowledgments.
Of course, I was very grateful to be thanked and giddy to see my (maiden) name in print!

The book would be one I was almost too embarrased to show off! Haa! So, if you're browsing the stacks at Borders and spot the above book (and are not embarrassed to pick it up off the shelf), look for my name in the acknowledgements! Ha!

It's All About the Shoes--and Dale!

We are VERY excited to announce that we just got a look at the first books in the warehouse for "It's All About the Shoes" by Yvonne L. Williams with photos by...wait for it... Dale Murray! Click on the photo above to pre-order your copy! Or go to your local book seller and ask them to order your copy today! Yay!!!

It's an adorable book, very girly, and highly "giftable" as they say in publishing. It's a bunch of stories about women and their shoes, with brightly colored backgrounds and fun photos of shoes scattered throughout. A great gift for a girl who loves her shoes or just because you want to buy enough copies that they have to pay Dale again for his photography! Ha! Kidding. Mostly.
