Sept 1 - Hello

I cannot believe it is already September!! I'm going to try and join my friend Sar with Blogging Everyday in September (#blogeverydayinSept). According to Sar, I don't have to blog on weekends (thank goodness). I will definitely be following the prompts as I find that unless something happens, I don't have anything to blog about. A shout-out to Whitney for organizing this!
Today, the prompt is to reintroduce myself--to old and new readers alike.

I believe that the best way to chronicle your life is through words and photos. Lots and lots of photos. I take a lot of photos of my favorite girl in the whole world, Sicily:

"Are you really taking another picture of me?"

"Mom, stop! I'm reading!"

She is adorable when she cuddles :)

My favorite human is my fiancé, A. He's not a blogger so I won't put his picture up but dang, he's handsome! We are getting married this December, and, nerd that I am, I wanted to choose a wedding note that I'd remember, so...

This way, when I'm old, I'll know how to do the math to figure out how many years we've been married :)

I am a professional musician I have been playing flute for over twenty years. Take a look at my website! http://www.flutingmiller.com/

I love taking photos of my food. Yep, I do it a lot and I'm not ashamed of it

I love playing card and board games.

I am originally from Seattle but moved to Santa Barbara for my grad studies. I am Greek and I love Greek food. A couple years ago we moved to Los Angeles. One of the things I like best about living here is the restaurants!

Ok, honest moment: I love all food and ice cream. I don't eat it much anymore but if you're going to do it, it has to be Ben and Jerry's!

I love names. I like knowing the roots, why people choose or don't choose them. I also love handwriting and have particular ways I write certain letters. When I was in 6th grade, I decided that I didn't like lower case R's and I haven't written them since (unless it was chem class or trig where the lower case r is imperative). Which way do you write your A's?

This is the best way I've had my name spelled since I was a kid:

I celebrate Sicily's birthday every year, even if it's something small like singing her Happy Birthday.
