jianantonicNothing says Christmas quite like the family dinner we had last night. Mom cooked a fancy meal, brought out the fancy china and silverware, we said things like "pass the butter, please," and then we told fart jokes for the duration of the meal. My dad's eyes were swolen shut he was laughing so hard. :)
My niece is here (though out visiting with my brother right now) and I'm loving every minute with her. She is very comfortable with us, happy to play and hug and be with me even without her mom or dad nearby. It's a nice feeling. I love her so much.
Helen, Emily G, and I caught the late showing of Pride and Prejudice last night. I'm still (somewhat unhealthily) in love with Mr. Darcy. The problem with my relationship with Jeremy is that we both liked each other from the start. And he didn't propose to me because we just knew we were getting married and it wasn't an issue. And if he had proposed, it wouldn't have been a surprise anyway. It's not like I would've cried tears of joy, because I've always known he wanted to marry me. I guess there's something to be said for that, but it's not exactly the kind of story that builds and builds and builds to a wonderful climax, by which point you're so in love with Mr. Darcy (or whomever, you know) that you can't stand it. Oh well. Once the climactic part is over, it's all just regular married stuff anyway. And while it won't make for a great novel, it's still great that you can live each day completely in love with someone who shares the same feelings for you. So with that said, I wouldn't really trade Jeremy for Mr. Darcy (even if he were a real person), though I can't promise I'll cease fantasizing about being Lizzie Bennett in that moment where the two meet in the garden and he renews his proposal with those puppy eyes and I should stop thinking about it now....
We're on our way off to Nelson County soon to see some old family friends and have a good old Southern home-cooked feast. Safe travels to all of you who are away from home.
Peace.
