Ok friends its already February of 2011...where has the time gone!?! Let me just start this post by saying I have the most incredible friends in the world. They have the most amazing impact on my life...who I am, who I want to be etc. Many of these are friends that I have known for 8-10 years, but many of these are friends that I have only known for 2-6 months. It amazes me that I have been able to meet so many wonderful people in such a short amount of time. I have my amazing "Sisterhood" friends who keep me going everyday. We meet once a week and discuss faith and all of life's challenges and I cannot tell you how great of a blessing this is to me! Then I have new friends that I am constantly getting to know better and meet even more of them...its just really wonderful to know people that have the similar moral and religious beliefs like me. :)
I am still in pursuit of the career that will help me get off my feet (and out of my parents house) I have had a few really good interviews in the last couple months so that is keeping me optimistic, but I really hope things pick up soon. My job at Attitudes is still a lot of fun...I work with really great women and they are very supportive of my search for a design career. I thought long and hard about making a big move to find a job in the field, but the longer I stay in Wichita the more attached I get.
I am now volunteering with my church's high school youth group and that is going very well. I am starting to get to know the kids better and the other leaders are wonderful...so I'm loving every second of it so far!
What else is new..I am now an aunt! haha ok not really but my sister Gigi and her husband just got a new puppy and her name is Hope (kinda the theme in my life right now) She is so precious.
My little sister, Rebecca, is dancing her days away at OKCU and I couldn't be more proud of her! Things are very busy in the Gans household...Mom is choreographing for the Wichita Grand Opera, teaching her classes, getting ready for dance competitions, and doing lots of various activities. My dad is still playing with his band and working hard. Fred and Ginger are doing fabulous as always...we are trying to talk my mom into getting another dachsund :)
It looks like I might be getting my snow day after all today! I wish all of you a very warm and happy February!
Much love,
Gansy
