Wow, it takes me an average of 3 months to update this thing now. I really don't have much time. Plus, my dial-up is sooooooo slow, so I'm over using the computer 5 minutes after I get on.
There isn't anything special to update. Everything is going well. Marcelo and I are enjoying our house and the little time that we have together between work and school and church and all our responsibilities. We're on winter break right now, which is nice cuz we get to see each other everyday after work, and don't have to stress out about classes. Friday is my last day at my job at the law office. I'm so happy I'm done with this place. (I'm at work right now. All alone. So I just called Sweni long distance. hehe) I liked being a part of a law firm, just not THIS law firm. Mr. M is the worst, most unprofessional lawyer I have ever met. But it's over now, so that's fantastic. I'll be taking 6 classes next semester, which leaves little time for a job. That doesn't mean I'm not going to have one....it's just going to be hard to work my schedule.
Our orange tree has oranges again! They are soooooo delicious. Marcelo made me fresh squeezed juice this morning. Yum. So it's Christmas Eve, right? And I'm so incredibly sad. But I'm ignoring the sadness because I don't want to cry...yet. I know tonight I'll bawl like a baby, but I'm trying to hold out as long as possible. I miss my brother so much. I wish I could see him today. Christmas will definitely not be the same without him. It will be the first Christmas EVER without him. And the thing that sucks is that I have to go through this again next Christmas. I feel horrible because I waited too long to send his package, and now it won't get there until after Christmas. So he has nothing to open tomorrow. I feel so bad. I hope he doesn't have a really crappy day. I hope he's happy. Ok, no more of this because I'll cry. You can't understand what it's like unless you know him. He is the life of everything. He makes everything fun. And now that he's halfway across the planet, he has left a huge hole in our lives. It sucks. But I know he's doing the right thing, and I'm proud of him. And I know he's loving Spain.
Ok, time to go home!!!! Yay.
