It's December. So first of all...WHAT? Second of all, Greg juts finished his 3rd semester of Grad school, which we're all super proud of! It was definitely a challenging semester (which I can attest to since I intentionally AVOIDED the combination of the classes he took this semester), but he made it & with great success! I am winding up a short consulting role I took on with Beta Theta Pi fraternity, which thankfully has evolved into a full time job! I will officially be the Assistant Director of Leadership & Education as of January 1, 2013 & I have committed to staying with the fraternity through their convention in 2014. Greg & I are obviously thrilled & so looking forward to a long, healthy relationship with Beta Theta Pi. I'll be working from home most of the time, but will travel to Oxford, OH (among other places) to do my face-to-face work a few times a month. This working from home has its benefits...not the least of which is flexibility in our geographic location. I hear Florida is nice this time (& every time) of year..JPG)
In other news, Lilah & Sadie are brilliant & amazing & we're (still) totally smitten. Frances Bee, my not-so-small business dream is really picking up steam. We've got some exciting plans for Frances Bee that will likely unfold in the next 18-ish months, but for now, we are grateful for our clients & looking forward to many more!
We hosted our 3rd annual (although it was our 2nd hosting gig) Gypsgiving this year. We had a full house, adding some new faces, Rich, Charlene, Ashley & Chris, and enjoying some old favorites, Justin & Coop. Per usual, we all made our best dishes, and there was an overabundance of wine and desserts. Two days later we did the Ugly Sweater 5K. It was a little less 5K run & a little more 5K stroll...We're headed home to Florida to celebrate Christmas with my parents and the rest of our sweet family of friends, especially our favorite little elf, Ella Mae. She's celebrating her very 1st little lady Christmas. Uncle Greg & I could NOT be more thrilled to be with her & all the rest of our St. Pete loves this holiday season. After all, it is our very first Christmas in Florida together. Hard to believe there's any more firsts! Speaking of what's hard to believe...this Friday, December 14th marks our 5th year together. Yes, we've only been married 9 months, but this thing has been a work in progress for 5 years. FIVE! It has been a blast and I can't wait to see what the next 5 years will bring!
That's all for me for now! Greg, Lilah, Sadie & I wish you & your family the very happiest holidays!
Merrily,
Meggo
