Yum! I treated myself to this neat looking natural soda I found at the co-op and wanted to tell you guys about it. It's all natural, made in Denver (local for you, Nicky!) and sweetened with organic agave nectar! There are a lot of yummy flavors, some traditional, some non-traditional (but not so crazy as Jones Soda's peanut butter and jelly, etc.) I got the ginger ale. They come in clean, neat glass bottles and are only 96 calories. Not too sweet. Totally worth it. Low-glycemic index sweetener, light and satisfying hydration.
I tried to copy a picture off of the website to give you guys a visual but I can't seem to do it. Check it out for yourselves! I know I sound like a paid advertisement, but I really like this product. :)
Love, Abby

White Sands visit
Hello all,
This is redundant to anyone that is an avid Abby-on-Facebook follower, but as no one has left any comments on my photos I'm guessing that no one has seen them!
Most of my Spring Break has been spent working at Zeffiro, doing homework, watering my "garden" daily to prevent the sickly little plants from shriveling into more dust, and um, being online. One day, however, some friends and I drove the almost-hour to White Sands National Monument, East/North-East of here and spent an afternoon playing, picnicking, and (for Eric and me at least) trying to defy gravity by throwing ourselves over the edges of the dunes at different trajectories and in different shapes. For some more exciting photos see if these links work! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1534415215267&set=a.1534410615152.58422.1681414672&theater

Hello from CO
I need to write a proper update post, (and thank you for my birthday wishes!) but I'm swamped at work/life right now so instead, I'll just tell you about my morning:
As I left the house today it was crisply cold. The clouds were gray and puffy and out here on the plains, that means that they look close enough to touch and the view of the mountains disappears. Snow was falling; not the heavy, wet stuff we get back home but light, sandy Colorado snow. It blows in front of you on the pavement and swirls in little eddies along the grass and under trees. This morning it was so light that I could see each individual flake on the navy blue fabric of my jacket. It was cold enough today to be able to look at lots of little crystal-y flakes and not have them melt.
I sat in the car letting the transmission warm up and watched all the flakes sweep across the windshield. Weather like this makes me introspective and glad that our winter lasts well into April. I have to say, I like it here.
Love you guys. Come visit :)

Gwyn Update
Like Liz, I think it's time for some life-status updating. Most importantly - I got a job! It wasn't, sadly, the job at St. Mary's. Much teeth gnashing and clothing tearing, no doubt. However (!) it is at another small liberal arts college - in Frederick Maryland!
I'll be a tenure-track assistant professor at Hood College, starting this August. Now I'm really sad that a lot of you have all moved away, since I'll be moving back. :) Andrew is looking for jobs down in D.C. too, so it's starting to look like it'll all work out. Just so you all can see some pictures of Hood:

It looks scarily familiar. I'm still a little sad the SMCM thing didn't work out, but it's probably all for the best. And I get to move back to the REAL part of Maryland!
Can't wait to celebrate with you ladies, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Liz Update
Per Erin's request, I am updating you all now that I have new information about myself to share.
Number One.
I have been hired by Montgomery County Public Schools as an Occupational Therapist. I will serve about 3 schools in the county seeing school-age kids and preschool kids. I get summer off, so I will probably be looking for a different OT job, maybe per diem at a skilled nursing facility, to fill those months before "back to school" in September.
Number Two.
Trevor and I found an apartment in Chevy Chase. We move in April 15. It is not in Glen Echo (Sorry Stokar), but it is close! We are on Newdale right off Connecticut. The best part about the location is that the Capital Cresent Trail is on the other side of our street so we can bike downtown or walk over to downtown Bethesda. Trevor can use it to ride his bike to work! The only thing I had to settle on was the lack of a washer dryer. There is a laudry room in our building, but not in our apartment. Also, I wanted a pool. Oh well ;)
Number Three.
Well, there was really just a one and two. I don't even have any painted toenails to show you! I will take this section to tell you that Abby and I have almost secured a beach house in Stone Harbor. I will send an email out to all occupants soon asking for $$$. Today I will write a "heads up, I'm going to ask for money in a minute!" email per Abby's wise suggestion. May will be a glorious month.
Number Four.
I love you all!
