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.
