I finally made it home for the holidays! Christmas is always an insanely busy time of the year for me, as I wrap up last-minute gift shopping and struggle to be everywhere seeing everyone at the right time. Mike's family Christmas parties were right after my semester ended on Saturday (Dent), Sunday (Gibbard), and Monday (McDonald). Whew! By the time today rolled around, I was just about partied out, and I've still got the Jobin party on Christmas day! The parties were a lot of fun, and it's always good to see Mike's families. Sandy and Debbie gave me several wonderful gifts, including a new winter coat and boots! :D Last night after the last party finished I drove from Lansing back home to be here with my family for Christmas. :)
The semester end was stressful but successful this time around. I ended up with my best semester GPA since beginning pharmacy school! Sometimes the hard work does pay off, and it feels so awesome when it finally does. My last day of class my old roommate and great friend Beth went to class with me in Kalamazoo, so we got to make snide comments about our professors to one another just like old times! :D I took her out to my favorite pub afterwards, and later to the Portage mall. It was a lot of fun to see her again!
One of my bridesmaids, Colleen, and Mike's best man, Nick, just got engaged on Friday! Congrats to them! :D Mike and Nick have been best friends just about forever, and it seems so ironic that both of their wives will be pharmacists. :)
In case I'm not back to my blogging beforehand, I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!! Eat lots of cookies and throw balled up wrapping paper at your unsuspecting family members--I know I will. ;)
