YEAR IN PHOTOS 2011

It's been a year - where to even begin? I can honestly say, it's been the best year of my life. Sylvie is so full of character, energy and life...it's incredible - I think it's even rubbing off on me and those that know me well, that's a good thing. My wife is incredible, my best friend in the world. I don't know where I'd be without her. She's let me realize my dream...I hope she says the same about me.

We saw friends and family, went to a wedding or two. We traveled, whether it was across the pond to Malta, down to New Orleans, over to the Windy City, quick getaways to Ojai, and of course back home to little old Minnesota where it all started. With that said, we definitely get it done and get on our share of planes. This coming year, little Sylvie gets her own seat - oh boy!

We celebrated each others success, met new friends, started new adventures, closed the door on old ones. We laughed, cried, cheered, pouted, argued, played, sang, skyped, smiled, etc...

I made six movies - six frickin movies. Broke bread with fancy celebrities - two of the biggest movie stars in the world, flew on private jets, had fancy meals, went to war, cut countless sizzle reels, and somehow came out the other side. I did all right I guess, but who is honestly keeping score...I'm a kid in a candy store.

I've realized what my favorite sound in the whole world is - Sylvie's voice. It's the greatest, so sweet, the way she puts an S on the end of every word, it just works. She is an angel.

So what about 2012??? Well, honestly, I hope it's more of the same. A new house with more space would be nice - it's good to set goals!

With that said, here is the year in photos from where I sat... I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did this past year.
