Sarah Laber

To kick off this blog, I thought I would start with an easy profile: my own.

After graduating HHS, I attended UC's DAAP program for Graphic Design. This was a 5 year program intermingling quarters of classes with quarters of working in the design industry. While you have the opportunity to travel and work anywhere, I chose to stay right here in Cincinnati partially for financial reasons, partially because I was still dating Pete Stieby but mostly because I knew I would never leave this area and wanted to make all the local working connections I could in an effort to ensure employment upon graduation.

Mission successful.

Pete and I married in 1997.

I graduated UC in June of 1999 and began working for a design agency where I had co-oped. A few weeks into my first full-time job, I discovered a belated graduation present:

our son, Alex, who is living proof that "What happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay in Vegas."

A few years later we were blessed with a daughter, Anna and moved back to Fort Thomas to raise our kids as the Cake Eaters they were destine to be.

I continue to work in the marketing/branding industry but have changed courses slightly. I now manage the projects, clients and budgets vs. doing the design.

As a hobby beyond raising kids, I have a blog. It is my attempt to share my humor with the world. I also enjoy cooking, friends, family and food which pretty much sums up the topics on my blog. I still love soccer and have found an outlet in coaching my kids (though they don't seem to have much interest in the sport and I know my time is limited).

Recently, Pete and I added one more to our family. I am sure you can tell from the picture, Ella was a pleasant surprise (or at least pleasant after the initial shock wore off).

Now I have Pete, re-Pete and mini-Pete. The Laber genes seem to be rather weak. Of course I love each and every one of them. As hectic and crazy as life can be, I wouldn't have it any other way.
