The Ides of March

March always seems to be unusually eventful in the e^2 household.

We began dating in March 2004: a spontaneous phone call to meet at Wendy's for dinner and a study break ended up creating a conversation that closed down the restaurant for the evening. After a whirlwind 6 weeks, Liz already had a hunch that marriage might be in the cards, thought she would never had admitted that to another human being at the time. If the journals weren't packed away in a box amidst a sea of cardboard, it might be fun to go back and re-read the clues... Ha! Who am I kidding anyway? Nomadic lifestyle aside, it's hard to make time for new entries here, wherever pepper grows...

Speaking of wherever pepper grows, the announcement of Eric's residency match comes out in just a matter of hours now. Match--and hopefully not a scramble--will determine where we land until 2011. This announcement is sandwiched between our first trip back to Philly, Eric's Boards, and the Jeep breaking down last week, and we are awaiting the birth of Nephew #5, the Annual Podiatry Basketball Tournament in Philly for Eric, the Non-Profit Technology Conference for Liz in New Orleans just before Easter, and the announcement of a major grant that will fund most of the Cultural Alliance's marketing efforts (read: employment) over the next 4 years. Whew!

Fate certainly has her way with us in March; fortunately we have no reason to suspect impending doom based on previous years. We'll still knock on wood, though--the next 24 hours bear big news!
