experiencing the culture and relaxing in the Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa, Lauren writes: It was an amazing trip and I’m looking forward to my next adventure! Stefanie Warns is working in fixed income trading for Stifel in downtown Baltimore. However, she reports: Evan and I are looking for our first viable and permanent escape route out of Baltimore... stay tuned for updates. Writing in from across the Bay Bridge, Katie Perry Trumbauer is enjoying life in Chestertown, MD with her kiddos and husband: I’m a stay at home mom and love it, although it’s so much more exhausting than I would have ever guessed! My youngest just turned two and will be going to school for a few days a week next year, and I’m looking forward to some quiet time. It will be nice to go to the grocery store without someone grabbing things off the shelves as we walk by! We bought a new house this past October and are now living on a couple of acres along the water. I’m trying to convince my husband to get chickens. We love the new place though, and can’t wait to get the boat in the water this summer. Lauren Battle Wills reports: I am living in the land of Southern Charm, where I am working as a senior scientist for a small biotech company and teaching biology as an adjunct at the Citadel. Anita is turning two this year and is busy keeping David and me on our toes. We are also in a supper club with Grace and Will Cleveland, and love getting to share this beautiful city and all of its wonderful food with such good friends. I, Paige Kimos Odabashian, along
with my husband, are the proud new parents to our first child, Vivian, who was born on a special date, 11/12/13. We are loving life in Fells Point, where we moved in August, thankfully having a few months to spare to prepare for baby. Vivian is so much fun and is really developing quite the personality! I relish the PR and marketing work I do pro bono for the Baltimore chapter of the non-profit organization, Dress for Success. I also continue to do freelance work, including contract projects for my previous employer. Thank goodness it’s almost summer. I need my toes in the sand and a yummy cocktail in hand. Enjoy a wonderful 2014!
