December

Ah, it is finally December and it is so nice outside. It's been hanging out in the 60s and 70s (except for a little dip down into the 40s a few weeks ago) - which means when David and I arrive in Atlanta on Saturday we will FREEZE. Thanks weather for waiting for us before dropping down out there... I appreciate it. Instead of having a relaxing week before our trip, I have 2 interviews this week. One for a school district and another for Wells Fargo (yes, I might become a bank teller... which has nothing to do with my degree AT ALL). So I could have a job once I get back from GA, which would be so nice. I mean really, it would be the greatest present of all this year. David has 1 final this semester (he is so thrilled) on Thursday and he fulfilled his obligation to UA by proctoring an exam on Monday. We didn't decorate for Christmas this year - space is lacking for a tree, we don't have a tree, and we are leaving on Saturday, so not happening. There are presents to open before we go and tons of presents to pack for the trip. Otherwise, I'm still working on the thesis - I speak with my committee chair a few times a week for editing/discussion/questions and we have plans to meet over the holidays. Otherwise, nothing too exciting here. We met with a couple from our ward for dinner last night and I made mojo pork and black beans. David decided the pork was a success (first time making it without my dad around). Plus we have key lime juice now so I can make key lime pie after we get back :D Hopefully, I'll get some pictures during our trip - we've been homebodies this semester so there hasn't been many photo-ops.
