Steve
and Amy Tanner live in Chicago, where among other things,
they update this weblog at SteveandAmySly.com with their thoughts
and adventures. Married
on the unique date of 02/02/02, the couple enjoys taking
many trips, exploring the uniqueness
of Chicago by hating Macy's, and sampling
new soft drinks every now and then.
When
not participating on the TannerWorld
Junction Discussion Forums, Steve serves as the Director
of Web Operations for Kidology.org,
a resource for those working in children's ministry. He also
spends time as a freelance
Internet consultant, specializing in online content, strategy,
and community management. Of course, you can't do that all
the time, thus you may find him authoring custom
inserts for Disney DVDs, documenting the lighted window messages on CNA Plaza, or sharing research on social media.
Amy,
who has the nickname "Amy Sly" carried over from her maiden
name of "Sylvester", is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker
(LCSW). She currently works as a therapist at Cherry Hill Center in Lake Zurich, IL. With over 10 years of experience in working with children and adolescents around issues of grief & loss, attachment, anxiety, anger, social skills, understanding & overcoming childhood trauma, abuse, and neglect, she enjoys the diversity of helping others via private practice.
To
relax from her sometimes stressful and emotionally-draining
occupation, Amy enjoys spending time with her friends (she
is often guilty of grabbing a "quick" cup of coffee with her
friends only to find out that 2 hours have passed), reading,
and trying out new recipes in the kitchen when she's actually
home at dinnertime. Keeping fit by cycling with Steve or working
out at the health club are also great ways she maintains a
balanced lifestyle.
Together,
Steve and Amy often hype their favorite place for ribs, Jack's
Bar-B-Que in Nashville, TN. Their passion for Jack's is
almost as strong as their love for Arena Football, where they
have been supporting the Chicago Rush for the past 7 years.
For some odd reason, the couple enjoys exploring the idiosyncrasies
of shopping centers, but that doesn't mean they don't
have time to construct a LEGO set together. It's also their
personal goal to visit all the lighthouses found on the western
Great Lakes.
The
Tanners launched SteveandAmySly.com in 2001 to coordinate
the details for their
wedding, which included online RSVPs, e-commerce shopping
registries, and a live streaming broadcast of the ceremony.
After the big event, this website was converted to a blog
format, enabling quick updates, interesting photography, and
complete integration with the commenting system found at TannerWorld
Junction. Today, SteveandAmySly.com serves as a vital
member of the TannerWorld Network, a diverse family of Internet
destinations constructed for personal interest and experimentation.
Make
sure you keep up with all of Steve and Amy's updates by adding
their RSS feed to your newsreader or by subscribing to
their periodic
e-mail digests.
