Mom Advice on Mother's Day

'Don't do any thing for him now that you don't want to be doing for the rest of your life.'

MIA...

I know I haven't posted in a while, and it's mostly due to the fact that it's nearing the end of the semester and I have a final studio project to concentrate on, several papers, a presentation, a final exam and a construction project to finish. I also am taking the LEED AP exam at the end of the month and need to study for that.

BUT as soon as that is all finished (literally- 2 days after my LEED AP exam) I will be flying to Europe for 5-weeks and will be able to take photos/blog with abandon about my adventures. I know I will find much culture and inspiration there and am definitely looking forward to it.

I'm heading first to Rome, then Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Florence and Nurnberg. I've been to Nurnberg before, but the others will be new to me. I have lists of the architecture I insist on seeing in each city and I cannot wait to see the masterpieces I have studied for so long. More later!

On a side note, I adore this kid and his style!
