This weekend has been pretty fun. On Friday night, I went to the Village Singles Christmas Shindig. It was ok. Kinda awkward, but still fun. When you walked in, you got assigned to a group (ie - being separated from your buddies) and that was your scavenger hunt group. The people in my group were nice, but I probably will never see them again as they go to different services or different churches, so yeah. Oh well. The only way you meet people and develop relationships is to get out there. One exciting gain from the evening is that I saw people I worked at Sky Ranch/went to Baylor with and they invited me to come every Sunday to a gathering they have of all these Sky Ranch people in the area. I thought it would be far away because a lot of them work in Dallas, but its only in Lewisville, which is only about 15-20 min. away from me. So that was exciting.
Semester 2 of grad school is about to wrap up (I have one take home final to finish today) and then I'll be done. Only a year left until graduation! One of those semesters will be spent doing field experience, but who knows where that will be??
Also, my dad found a dog for me this past week and I will be taking a look at her when I get home for the holidays. She's a 40 pound Siberian husky with the bluest eyes ever. She seems perfect. Here's what her foster mom said about her:
"My foster Mommy named me after some lady named Ella
Fitzgerald? She said something about my singing all the time. I do like to sing
to my big rottie friend, Goliath. Sometimes I can get him to sing back to me
although his is more like a grumble. Mommy says something like an Ella
Fitzgerald and Joe Cocker duo!

I hear my foster Mommy telling everyone what a sweet girl I am
and that she would love to keep me. She said if she keeps all her fosters, she
can not help the next one that comes along and needs her.
I love to snuggle. When my foster Mommy is laying down trying
to go to sleep, I like to jump up on the bed and lay down and cover her to make
sure she is warm. It seems natural to me, maybe because all my ancestors did
this to keep their owners and children warm in the snow. "

And here's a picture of the beautiful girl:
Anyways, now I'm gonna clean my room (I'm a neat freak that can't keep her room clean. Go figure.) and work on some homework and then Christmas shopping!
Hope all is well with you! Much love and God bless!
PS - a quote from a song that I found quite quoteworthy: "Fear not, I will pilot thee." Simple yet profound.
