The last few weeks

Between studying for the GRE (I'm taking it Monday!), visiting Grandpa in OH, and finishing the semester at Greenville Tech with a bang :), I've been listening to Stella's jingle bell collar, admiring the winter night sky, taking a night run with Ellen, watching biographies on Bill Gates and Confucius, visiting Jacqueline/going to the Nutcracker in Atlanta, and hardly being able to wait to see Hannah again! Thanksgiving this year was lovely--all the sisters together, plus a few "adopted" family members (ie: international kids from Greenville Tech plus Layla). I'm looking forward to the third week of Advent, starting tomorrow, and wishing I'd made myself an advent calendar with little chocolates and a Bible verse for every day of the season. Maybe next year.
