Okay, so it's a couple of days late, but Sapphire has been too busy to help me with the pictures in this post until today. Sapphire's family came to stay with us for the holidays, and the house has been jumping with activity. It's great! Everyone's been in a really good mood and we're all having lots of fun. I think Sapphire's grandmother might have a small crush on me, which is kind of cute. She likes the others too, but I think I'm her favourite.
We had a couple of holiday trees in the house this year, which was pretty fun. And of course we all got presents. I got a tent. I can hardly wait for spring to come, so Michael and I can go camping. Michael and Rommie gave each other skates. At least they can use their presents now. They said Sini and I can borrow their skates some time, so I can teach Sini how it's done. No one ever invented skating on Sini's world, probably because there are only a few places on the whole planet that get enough ice that it'd even be possible to skate on.
Here's a photo Sapphire took of some of our holiday decorations. Michael and Rommie were exchanging gifts here.
Here is one of Michael and Rommie's holiday photos:
An exciting thing that's happened during the holidays is that our cousin, Dylan Brightman, arrived, and is going to be moving into the house with us. Back in October we heard that he might be coming, but I said that I wouldn't believe it until it actually happened. Well, it happened, and I'm pretty stoked that he's going to be sticking around.
Dylan is one of our first cousins on our father's side of the family. He's just a year older than Michael and me, and he practically grew up with us. I'd have to say Dylan was my best friend growing up. He's still my best guy friend.
Dylan is a shy, quiet guy. He thinks a lot and is into all kinds of academic stuff like philosophy, psychology, computers and math. He's studying to be a psychologist, and he'll be transferring to our local university when the new semester starts in January. That means he'll be going to school with Michael and me.
I guess I've never mentioned that before, have I? Michael and I are finishing our undergraduate degrees, and we'll be graduating this coming spring. We're both doing double majors. Michael's are history and anthropology, and mine are history and sociology. Michael plans to become an archaeologist. I want be a lawyer. I've already been accepted for law school next fall, and I'm beyond excited about that. Dylan says that if I were any more excited, someone would probably have to peel me off the ceiling. Sometimes, when I think about it, I really do feel happy enough to float up there.
Anyway, I was telling you about my cousin Dylan. This is him:
I'll post more later. I'm getting hungry and I think there's some plum pudding left. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the holidays!
