I am excited … This is going to be a Summer to remember for a LONG time! My credit card may not like me very much but I have lots to do! Starting the last weekend in June I am going to the Taste of Joliet. I am excited to see Maggie Rose, Easton Corbin and Hunter Hayes.

Next I am heading to St. Louis for my birthday weekend and going to the Cardinals game on the 5th!

Then is back here to Chicago for the grand finale …. Ms. Taylor Swift!

Sweet! I am so excited!

SXSW 2012 – Joplin, MO

March 9, 2012

Hey Kids,

This has been one of those trips that you seem to lose track of days and what state you are in. I love to travel on road trips and just get lost in a city and see what you can find. Today we went to a city that really does still need help. As many of you know Joplin, MO was hit by a tornado on May 22, 2011. The level of devastation that you can still see driving down some of the roads is sad. It makes you wonder where all of these people are now? Are they still in hotels? Did they find a new house? Are they going to rebuild? These are all questions I still have.

This used to be a Taco Bell.

We were able to visit with a group of kids at Irving Elementary School. Their school was completely destroyed by the tornado that hit on May 22, 2011. These kids were a pleasure to hangout with. They are all so happy and full of life!
