February:

Got artsy at the first annual Arty Party at the Four Seasons St. Louis with artist Jeff Kapfer.

For the first time in years, I celebrated Soulard Mardi Gras by not celebrating. I stayed in, stayed warm, and “Laissez les bons temps rouler” by watching Whitney Houston’s funeral. And for the record Whitney, crack is whack.

Tenley Molzahn, Kiptyn Locke, & me.

Not every bride-to-be gets two St. Louis celebrations in one month – but Jessica did with a night out in Soulard.

Ate here and closed 360 down with a red and black themed Bachelorette Party for Jessica.

After a two year hiatus, I re-started my classes towards a MA in Marketing here and all social life came to a screeching halt.
