Happy Holidays 2011

Another Christmas has come and gone quickly. I swear every year it comes faster and faster! We had a very different Christmas this year but a great one none the less. My mom was in Idaho visiting her husbands family, Jake was in Wendover and Dan is still away so it left something to be desired BUT I did have my kids and Jeff from the 23rd to the 26th and his girls on Christmas afternoon until Monday evening so that was really nice. I miss  the big Japanese dinner we have always done on Christmas Day. I'm thinking that those days are gone unless I revive them and hopefully when everyone is home I can. It sucked not having my brothers on Christmas but hopefully next year things will be back to normal or something like it....

It was fun having Jeff and his girls come to the family parties. My family LOVES them! Both sides!! Even my grandma likes Jeff!! She has never liked a single man that I have brought to meet her.....ever! She even invited him over without me. WTF?! My mom and dad both really like him and for once they are urging the progression of the relationship instead of trying to eliminate it but Jeff is so different from any other man that I have been with it shouldn't surprise me and NOT just because he is white! I know that's what you're thinking! Ha Ha! He actually cares about me being taken care of and not just me taking care of him. I can't for him to meet Dan! Dan will love him. He calls me every week and asks how my dating life is going and loves the fact that Jeff is now my one and only. He's so funny! He's very protective still. He is a really great big brother.

It was fun to meet Jeff's family too! They were pretty funny. His lil niece grilled me on when I was going to marry Jeff. I told her she needed to take that up with her uncle. Jeff was approached about it too by his cousins. It was pretty funny.  He is pretty amazing that's for sure! I hope I don't scare him away with my craziness but what you see is what you get! LoL He has seen a few different sides of me and is still around lucky for me. I'm thinking he is one.. for reals this time :)
