Quick catch-up

Wow, so my last post was in October?! Here's the quick update:
School: I'm done with school and made a 4.0!! I actually had to say no to dancing for the last three weeks or so of school in order to get all of my work done, but it was worth it. I probably won't be a student for at least the next two-three years, so I'm glad I finished with good grades.
Job: I'm interviewing for positions right now, but in the meantime I've been working with Alice at a little boutique in town. We have so much fun wrapping gifts for people and listening to the constant Christmas music! I enjoy the job because it is constantly busy, unlike the last retail job I had where I had so much free time that I wrote down recipes out of books in the store because it was so slow.
Family: Grandpa is in town, and we had lunch together yesterday! And all my sisters are finally in town at the same time (this is the first time we've all been together since August) so we had a girls night the other night and had fondue. I just really enjoy every minute I get to spend with all of them, and it seems as if it will be more and more common that we only all get together twice a year or so. It just isn't probable that we will all live in the same city. Since Cate has been gone and Jess and Leah are busy with married life and their jobs, and since Anna is down in Columbia, Alice and I really have gotten to be great friends. We actually went to the movies last night with some of our friends. It's really cool to be able to consider my sister that good of a friend that we are sharing friends now.
Friends: My friends have been having nonstop Christmas parties lately, and I don't want to miss a single one! I don't know how much longer I'll be around here, so I'm soaking up my friend time.
I'm off to work, but I'll post pictures soon from the different parties in the last few weeks.
