Find Fruity Philanthropist

The other night Derrick woke up to me mumbling "find" in my sleep. So he asked my what I needed to find. I said "find . . . fruity." Then I paused and said "find . . . fruity ..fff...fff..fff. . . philanthropist!" I guess I had to go for the "ph" to get the full alliteration happening. :)

So, things are going well out here. This has been the week or two of house guests and it has been a lot of fun. Last weekend, our friend Katie flew in and spent the weekend with us. It was beautiful on Saturday so we drove up to Gloucester and walked along the coast and drove to some lookouts. This week, Victoria has been in town as well. She did a series of concerts with the Avery string quartet and was out in our digs and decided to crash at our pad for a while. It's been great hanging with some of our good friends as of late.

Derrick has had a little bit of a siesta from tests at school and its been nice to have him around mentally as well as physically. I've been up to the same old crazy work schedule, but I'm enjoying both my jobs a great deal. It's also starting to feel like spring here in Massachusetts! Derrick and I took a walk today down by the Charles River and onto the footbridge. The area was packed with people trying to take advantage of a little warm air while it lasts. Our trees are starting to show signs of leaves too. Yay for spring!

Yeah Spring is in the air! I bet spring there is amazingly beautiful. Your a sleep talker too huh? Maybe Mat and Derrick should exchange stories sometime.... :)

Maybe you were creating a follow up story to the platypus with the lisp you wrote long ago! Now the truth comes out, Jen is not the only sleep talker! Yeah for Spring!

Being married to someone who talks in their sleep, Lonnie is a big talker, is often entertaining. The best thing he once said was "Are you my wife?"

I miss our Utah days of living close to so many friends.

You guys are wonderful!

Funny! The things people say when they're not coherent! I have to say I don't quite trust the spring out here yet. It was 60+ degrees on Friday...we went to the park and tried to stay outside as much as possible. Then today we woke to an inch of snow! But I'm hopeful. :-)
