Where has the time gone??

I blinked and it's suddenly December! Semesters always go by fast, but everyone I talk to seems to agree that this has definitely been the fastest. At times like these, it's easy to look back at the last few months and feel like we didn't really do anything. School and work easily blend together and it's difficult to pick out any moments of productivity or excitement. So I (Sarah) have decided to make a list as 1st: a form of personal reflection and 2nd: a summary updating the world on our lives...as promised in the previous entry, some of these might be small things, but significant none the less :) So, in no particular order:

1. Josef successfully began a masters program he loves
2. I've advanced in a job I am blessed to have
3. Joined a church family that has been an incredible blessing & encouragement to us
4. Trained for and ran a 1/2 Marathon
5. Ventured out on our first official Varga camping trip
6. Created the first of many Varga original works of art to hang on our walls
7. Attended A&M's fall show as Alumni
8. Frequently get to hang out with our niece, Joy and have had the opportunity to watch her grow
9. Designed 2 winter display windows putting my scenic design skills to good use
And last, but certainly not least:
10.Have been blessed to get to know studio artists, ambassadors, writers, professors, pastors, accountants, business owners, managers, hair stylists, make-up artists, college students, young professionals, and sweet families that call Austin home :)

Time has definitely gone by fast but it has been full of many new experiences, with people we are happy to call friends. 6 months and we can definitely say, much to the shock of our Aggie family, "We love you Austin!"
