Christmas 2011
For dinner today, I joined the Brunet family and met the Midsons who are Beth's family from Australia. There's 4 of them: Maddy, Shelby, who are sisters; Joanna and William, who are their parents. William is a nice man who wants to go to Africa as a nurse. Joanna is a high school math teacher. Shelby is going to Paris to learn French. Maddy just found a job in Aus, finally and will be working for a while there. It was neat how easily I could speak with them. It was nice to see the Brunet kids. They're growing up so quickly! Over dinner, Jean-Pierre told us a funny story about Chloe as a baby. While he was changing her diaper, Chloe noticed that he wasn't completing his task properly and mustered the words to say, "Wipe me, front to back." How freakishly intelligent is that for a baby!? Haha.
Christmas Eve, mom, Kristine, Auntie Rebecca, Charlie-boy and Dexteroni had dinner together. It was honestly delicious! To my surprise, I received Christmas money from mom and Auntie. Kristine got mom a gift pack of lottery scratch tickets and a quote book of the bible. I got her a red crawl neck sweater from Suzy Shier. She loved it.
Time with Krzys this Christmas has been nice. We've been hanging out like we do, watching Christmas movies. (Side note: apparently, Die Hard is considered a Christmas movie). I watched "Christmas Vacation" for the first time. Though I vaguely remember seeing it before. I brought some goody leftovers from Auntie Jo's for Krzys and his dad. Her stuff is too tasty! As we were walking out, I noticed that there was cheese that I had not yet tried, so JP gave me two blocks of cheese of it. Then I quickly ended up with a few doggie bags of treats in my purse! I should've been embarrassed except I'll be sharing it with everybody.
I am so very glad that I will be cuddling up to my sweetie tonight. I love being with him. I love that he loves being me. We've started seriously talking about moving together in the last couple months, though we've only started looking at apartments online in the last couple days. It's exciting thinking about it now. I'm absolutely ready to move on. There's nothing holding me back.
Kind of a side note. Beth randomly advised me to not sabotage my relationship with Krzys. "Sabotage" seems like a good but strong word. It left me thinking that I really do not want to fuck up anything with him. We get along massively well together and the chemistry is there. There's no way I'd want to lose that. I think that the way to making it a successful relationship, at least in the foreseeable future, is to finish school successfully and holding my own/ feeling good about myself as a person. Ya know? I want him to be proud of me and see me succeed. I want to see myself to succeed, too, of course. I want both of us to see me succeed. I so much want to have a good life with him... omg, I said it! I want to build a life with him. Yup, I do.
