Hi Jonathan,
Big congratulations on your state champion! Which event?
My brother is doing well, as far as I know. Yale has a more relaxed schedule than we do, so I get jealous a lot. He had a whole week off to prepare for his second year play (in med school, yes, I know, confusing). I'm looking foward to seeing the video, though. I always enjoy his acting endeavors. His wife (Michelle) is great--I really like her. I am not sure if you have met her before, perhaps at the wedding. I count myself very lucky to have two fun new sisters in law. Hey! That reminds me, fill me in on Bethany's wedding. How did that go? I hope well. My parents seem to be doing well. They talk about retiring a lot, but that's not really new. I think that they have been talking about it for a decade now. I miss seeing them, but I try to see them every month or so. They claim that they are going to move closer once they retire. But, I think the truth of the whole thing is that they are going to move where there are grandchildren...and that's not on my radar screen at this moment. I can't speak for my brother.
I'm glad that you and Lindsey are talking again. Navigating the dating scene can be tough...my friend Cristine gets frustrated with me when I try to understand, though. I didn't feel young at 21 when I started dating Jay, but according to her, I've been out of the "scene" so long that she doesn't give much credence to what I say about it. But, I still maintain that when it's right, it should feel easy--at least at first. I wouldn't want to try to sustain a relationship over such long distances again, though.
I think that you are in Dougelay's wedding? Best man, right? I'm planning to hit Boston that weekend, as is Maurissa. It will be great to see you.
Well, I'm headed into finals for this course block. I cannot wait until March 18! I'll have a small spring break around that time. I was contemplating driving up North and I would love to stop and meet Mary Grace. But, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do so or not. Jay and I are trying to figure out what to do about our living situation for next year, whether to keep renting or to start thinking about buying a place. So, I may have to spend a little bit of time figuring that out that week.
Anyway, great to hear from you.
Fondly,
Kristin
