Long Past Due

Well here it goes, what I should have been doing for many months now, and I have finally given in.  There are many things that have inspired this blog to begin, I think most of all my two sisters.  They both have a blog which I enjoy reading so much.  Not only are they brilliant writers (which they get from my Dad, and I could only hope for that gene) but almost without fail I am brought to tears when I read their accounts of what their lives are about.  For the past month I have thought of so many great titles of things that I should write about, but not until today have I actually followed thru.

About the name:  Well the name of my blog is inspired by my little boy Sydney James Young.  One day I noticed that I am constantly calling him "little guy".  Why is that, well basically because he is anything but a little guy.  Just barely 6 months old, and weighing in at a whopping 24lbs.  I LOVE HIM!!!  All of him!  

Anyway, one day I tested his nickname out on my good friend Amy.  Recently she pointed out to me how I went about testing his new nickname. Apparently (and yes Katie, this is probably followed by some sort of bad news) I walked over to her house one day, which is just next door thank goodness, and out of no where called little Sydney "LG".  I guess I must have looked at her like "so...check out his new nickname.  What do you think?  Does it work?"  Well, I think it works.  Amy didn't criticize me, she just laughed, which is often her response to everything.  So it stuck.  


About us:  Long story short...We live in my Dad's basement.  Does that tell you enough?  No really though.  I have recently changed jobs to something much more difficult, but much more rewarding in almost every way.  I am now a full time mom!
Until October of 2007 I had been fortunate enough to work consistently in Theatre. I had worked as a Stage Manager, but mostly as a Company Manager for Broadway Touring shows.  I traveled both Nationally and Internationally for 8 years, not counting my travels during college.  I loved my job!  I enjoy traveling so much, I enjoy my line of work, and for all but about a year and a half total of that time, I was able to work and travel with my husband, which I LOVED so much!  Last October I completed a tour of BLAST in Japan, and since that time I have not worked.  Well I use the term "worked" very loosely.  
I married TJ Young on September 9, 2000.  He is an amazing, talented, compassionate, handsome  and hard working man.  I love him with all my heart!  
On February 12, 2008 I gave birth to our little boy Sydney James Young, whom is named after my late mother and my husband.




























On September 1, 2008 I finally posted this blog which I actually started writing about a month ago.  Oops!  Guess I am not going to be as on top of it as I would like to.

That is enough for now, otherwise it will never get posted.  Here is to blogging!  I look forward to this new outlet of expressing my feelings.

Until next time.
