Notes from Kelly...

Location: Hamilton, NJ, United States

I'm still newly married and a new mom, building a life with my husband, Aybars, and our son, Max. I work full-time Princeton University as a grants manager. I recently graduated from the Univ. of PA with my degree in Linguistics and Cognitive Science, and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up! I'm a dance leader at our Messianic Synagogue where Aybars is the youth director.

Yardwork!

Aybars and I worked on our yard as a team for the first time this weekend. So much fun! To everyone else, it looks like just some mowed grass and the weeds in the garden area are a little shorter... But for me it was one of the most pleasant days I've had in a long time. I woke up on Sunday morning so excited, pulled my hair back in pigtails (yes, Aybars laughed!), and we got to work. It was my first chance to mow my very own lawn, and I've been daydreaming of all of the trees and bushes and flowers that I want to plant. There is something so rejuvenating and settling about playing in the dirt, and all of the memories of making mud pies with Tracey and Lynne as 4- and 5-year-olds came flooding back to me.

Happy Spring!
