wow. i really, really suck at this. anyway...
christmas was yesterday. it was great. i got to see everyone for a few days in a row and i even got to meet more of lonnie's family. it was awesome. i feel so comfortable with all of them, it's incredible. a pair of his aunts and uncles even bought us a cute christmas gift. his mother and father showered me with gifts, which they shouldn't have... but it was wonderful anyway.
lonnie bought me a G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S cladddagh ring with three diamonds in the center of the heart to make it look like a heart. it's so beautiful, i can't stop staring at it. it totally blew me away and i definitely didn't expect it. my mother even commented on how beautiful it was. i hope this means we are making progress with the acceptance of mine and lonnie's relationship -- hopefully next christmas it'll be an engagement ring! ;D
christmas eve my mother, my aunt lynn and i went to church to listen to my grandma's voice. more and more this year i have really found the power of God and spirituality - more than i ever thought i did. my gnramdother's choir began with "o come all ye faithful" and it was so entirely beautiful i seriously stood there, overwhelmed with all of the hard times and losses we've gone through this year, and how beautiful their voices were and how literally every single one of us was completely full of peace and love.
i honestly don't think i would be alive right now if it weren't for my prayers and thanks for each and every day. the year of 2006 has been, BY FAR, the hardest year i've ever been through. although i came out of it with learning expierences, etc. i will never been the same because of this year. it is unfortunate. i miss a lot of people who i lost this year, my family and i aren't the same without them. each toast given this year was in rememberance of every family memeber and friend we've lost over the past twelve months.
