This past week, Julia's research trip to Antarctica was featured in the journal Science in a piece titled "Drilling on the Edge." The author interviewed her while on the boat. Here are some excerpts. It is so exciting to see her work out in the mainstream.
Julia and Benjamin spent a long weekend in NYC. Benjamin reunited with housemates from OSU. They went to a Mets game, and in addition to hanging out and eating out in cool places, Julia had the chance to connect with her friends—Aly and Nadira (University of Leeds), Jessie (childhood friend), and Lia (Holton friend).
Meanwhile, check out Mom with all of the various basketball team members (all ages)!
Steven, Tony, Lisa, Don, Laura, and I went on a four-city tour over 11 days. We saw some beautiful sites and memorials, ate well, and laughed a lot. It was a wonderful trip full of great memories.
Julia and Benjamin helped Wes move into a new place. In the process, Julia bought a new beautiful plant to add to her collection. She has some lovely plants in her apartment (and does not get her green thumb from me). Julia and friends from the University of Minnesota's Soil Water and Climate Department won $20 at trivia night. They also went to a Wizards game, although the Timberwolves ended up winning.
Julia and Benjamin had a special Easter date night--yummmmmm--looking cute as ever! Benjamin flies out today for work. In the DMV, Kathryn was home for the weekend. The Sarrges went all out--deep-fried turkey, ham, biscuits, cauliflower, green beans, fruit salad, green salad, cranberry sauce, gravy...did I miss any sides? Cookies and rum cake for dessert. Missed Chad.
Welcome, Maureen, to the blog--you have been featured and highlighted many times (unknowingly, apparently LOL) over the years. All family members are subject to the blog. :)
Delivered Buckeyes to Elizabeth and the GT rowers. She is so adorable. Also, a hit was a dog therapy session at my work with Luna, Cooper, and Ralph. Pets bring happiness--no doubt about that.
