90's dance party TONIGHT!

Hey all. As I'm sure you've picked up on, Tonight is the big vintage pop-up shop, It's a Date. This is the 4th (really? wow, the year has flown by) It's a Date installment since its creation last winter. I'm very proud of my little Miss Salvaged Strawberry (and two birds, of course) for all the hard work they have put in. The shop has really come a long way and I have a feeling tonight is going to be a BIG success!
Again...here is the info: It's a Date!)
Anyhow, after all the fun is over, a whole group of us are heading up to the 331 for 90's Dance Party! X-files edition. I can not WAIT! We stumbled upon 90's dance party over the summer and I swear it was some of the most fun I've had in Minneapolis. All the jams we grew up listening to and more. The beauty (to me) is that I can get some Ace of Base, followed by Montel Jordan, followed by mj, and then maybe some old school pearl jam. Anyhow, they do a really good job with the event.  To get you all excited, here are some tunes to bring you back!

Well, there's a silly mix for you! Enjoy and I hope I see you tonight!!!

A day in my life...

Heyo. So I read this blog where a guy frequently does "a day in my life in 10 photos" and I was thinking that that might be fun. So today, I'm giving you a day in MY life in 10 photos. Enjoy!









Happy Almost Friday, friends. I hope to see you at It's a Date this weekend!

Sunday can be a Funday

As always, I had some homework to handle today But I made sure to make time for the Packers, and even a bike ride. It was more like a commute, but it was about 18 miles, so I feel good. Anyhow, it was windy as crazy, but I managed to stop and take some photos.

READ THIS!

Hey team. Not much for today, just a really good article I'd like you to read. This is a reality I face everyday, and it feels good to know some people are not afraid to be who they are.

Enjoy!  Being a teacher means teaching more than just Social Studies

Happy Friday

Hey team. I'm happy to announce that I officially had my first day of teaching this week. And you know what, it went really really well! I am feeling better and better about school, even though it is really kicking my ass right now.

But enough about school...I have a great weekend lined up. To begin with, my Dad and Laurie are going to be in town. And you know what, it is always a blast when they are in town.
I think we are going to go to Minnehaha Falls and eat dinner at Sea Salt. Tomorrow I plan on bringing them to Victor for breakfast, do a little antiquing in the afternoon, and then we are going to BBQ with some friends and the parents. I'm sure we will end up doing other fun stuff (they asked if we would take them to IKEA...should be okay) but this is what we have planned so far. 
And to get the weekend off going right, I'm going to give you a little video if a song I can't stop listening to. Enjoy! (Raphael Saddiq-Good Man)
