Well, I promise I've been busy!

So I managed to get an answer out of my supervisor about the length of my assignment at the ABR. He wants to keep all the temps through February at the least, longer if he can. This is good news because it means I will have a job when I get back in January. And maybe, with some luck, I'll get the full time position at the company. That would be so nice. It's unlikely that anything will happen before the New Year, since there is tons of stuff going on at work that has to be completed before the end of the year. So if I see you over the holidays, don't ask. I don't know anything, probably won't know anything until January something at the earliest. Once I know something, I'll post it.
In other news, yes, I will be in GA over the holidays. If anyone wants to get together, we'll be in town from the 23rd until the 7th. FYI, David's little sister is getting married on the 3rd and we are both in the wedding party so we will be busy that day. Any other day (besides Christmas) we are available to hang out. You have my phone number!
The crochet projects I've been working on are going great. I'm afraid there won't be any pictures until after Christmas since most of them are presents for family. The doll dresses and jackets are complete for my nieces, I found the perfect thing for my older brother, my little sister's blanket is still in the works, and I made a baby blanket for a baby shower. So I am keeping very busy when not at work.
David is studying hard and working harder in the lab. After tomorrow's final, he is done for the semester. Plus he only has one more semester of classes to go!!! His research is going great and there has been discussion about writing a paper.
Church has been interesting lately. It's hard to teach the kids in primary when all they care about is how close it is to Christmas. Seriously, every story they tell seems to relate to Christmas. Funny story, the music leader decided to teach the primary the chorus to "Angels we have heard on high". Naturally, the kids love trying to stretch out "Gloria"; some are quite good. However, none of the adults knew what "gloria in excelsis deo" meant. NOT ONE and I am positive that I am the youngest teacher in primary. I was shocked that I was the only one to know that. It's not difficult to figure out, right? I managed to tell the entire primary the meaning without looking/sounding completely shocked but it was a close thing. Even David could not believe it when I told him (he had to go to the lab after sacrament and returned just before the end of class/church).

  1. How do people not know what that means? It's practically in english and half a dozen songs say "glory to God in the highest" O_o
