Counting Down & Birthday Fun

Julia went to Golden Eagle with friends Margaret and Hannah, where you grill your own burgers. They also went to an art gallery to see and purchase some of Hannah's art (displayed near her computer). Jules had a breakfast date with Hannah and her roommates. Check out her clean room before she starts packing! The pink walls crack me up. Also, she made banana muffins with Megan.

On the home front, we visited the Flower Mart at the National Cathedral. Yesterday, we celebrated Ethan's 24th birthday at the Capital Grille. Thank you, Sarrges--delicious and entertaining as always!

Job Accepted!

Julia has accepted a postdoc appointment from the University of Alaska! She is super excited and will start immediately following her defense on August 1. There's some flexibility (on-site/remote), but she'll definitely be spending some time in Fairbanks. The pics below are when she was in Alaska.

Julia recently attended her friend Alejandro's doctoral defense and celebrated with her friends. She went to the May Day parade with Matt, Wes, and Anne. Check out the bee picture from her walk around her neighborhood. 

In DC, we went to the Flower Mart at the National Cathedral. My neighbor asked me what I got... umm... pretty flowers with different colors. :) No idea. I hope they survive through the summer. 

Seattle, Whidbey Island, and Flower Mart

Julia went out to the West Coast for a week. She attended two conferences in Seattle, followed by a short course, COLDEX, on Whidbey Island--just two hours north of Seattle. Jules presented her poster. The pictures are beautiful. She has built up a nice community of professionals and friends in her field.

Last weekend, we went to the Flower Mart at the National Cathedral. The weather was perfect, and it was packed with people!
