christmas days

So yesterday was the Christmas party at fortune. School was okay that day, kinda busy but it was fun wearing Christmas hats all day. I drew a pretty good stoic cat picture, it was pretty funny. So after the school day Chauzy went home to get her shoes and i went to get my clothes. I waited at the bus stop with Evelina and awaited the bus. We got to the restaurant and helped set up. It was pretty cute seeing you decorate the trees, I'm sorry that trees are evil and don't want to get dressed up, but you did an amazing job with it. we set the Christmas mood for the night and got the guys routine down. So it was dressing time. I got ready fast so i could see chau, but i got caught in a conversation about the routine, so i wasnt the first to see her in her dress. Still, it took my breath away. I feel especially lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend. She's an amazing person, she really is, even in my doubtful state she found ways to bring my hope up even stronger than before. And i also feel thankful for my friends, who are my family. They even said it, and that was a good feeling knowing that your friends can also be like your family. So we had all our food ready, quite good, but i couldn't eat to much because our show was after the food :I. So it was our turn and for a moment i felt pretty dang nervous, but a quick pep talk and we went for it. It was pretty good on my opinion, i know others can criticize but like i said, practice makes perfect. And that's what we do we practice, so we can get better.

I feel it coming, i feel the optimistic side of Jim rising up once more, and this time it feels like it's here to stay. Which I'm really glad for. Santa, presents, lights, food, laughter, love. All these things made the night really great. And that's one of my early Christmas presents. The bus ride home was quite peaceful. I gave me time to reflect where i am in life. A few weeks back i didn't know what i was going for. But living the night, reflecting on the toast we made, I'm certain i know where i am going. I'm content with my life. I have been giving the opportunity to survive through many experiences, I've grown physically and mentally, I've grown a positive and friendly attitude, i met many people, i made close friends, i found that girl who i love forever and ever, i have a family who are respectful, and endless possibilities to do anything in my life.

I think yesterday changed me, i feel happier, more optimistic, smarter, more responsible, and more mature.

Today was also quite the adventure. Well since my mom and little brother left for Bolivia, my dad has been rather down. I could see it and it made me sad, so today i took him and my older brother out for a fishing trip, dinner, and movie. It was a good time to catch up on family life. I learned alot of things about my dad's life, and he had a pretty interesting past. But the fishing was good, caught a bunch, enjoyed the movie, and i made spaghetti which is my dad's favorite. So all in all, it made my dad happier. I showed him how to get 80's music, cause that's his favorite music. He's into YouTube now, which is pretty funny xD.

Well i couldn't go to the mall because i came home too late, but i know ill get the present one way or another. That's my Christmas promise. "And everybody knows you cant break a Christmas promise".

I miss you chau, so very much. I can't wait to bake with you tomorrow. We'll make a delicious pound cake. :D

I can't wait to hug and kiss you once i see you. :]

Christmas is near :D
