<p>Good news here…D got into one of her favorites this week and my dear darling husband landed a job in financial services in NYC (!!!) after being out 3+ months (!!!).<br>
He is amazing: talented, optimistic, generous to a fault! happy Holidays to all!!!</p>
<p>Every one is on track for their pursuits and it feels good</p>
<p>Mom & Dad live nearby now and it is the best</p>
<p>The holidays are here and I am glad to have family with me!</p>
<p>DS made the Dean’s List for the fall semester at CMU - halfway through junior year - grades have been improving each year.</p>
<p>woody–congrats on H’s job! That’s probably the best news of all.</p>
<p>My S got a PSAT score that apparently guarantees him NMSF status. :)</p>
<p>My parking place is shoveled out for now and I’ve got DIBS!</p>
<p>Took both S & D to college & helped them settle in & reprovisioned S’s food for spring semester. Was able to take them & their friends out for a meal & spend some time with good family friends who will be there if they need anything.</p>
<p>S has agreed to fix D’s tire for the bike he acquired for her. YIPPEE! Both bikes were obtained very inexpensively and should be pretty unattractive to thieves.</p>
