What a Holiday Season! Othello finally finished his Japanese class and started talking with me again. I fretted so much because he doesn't multi-task and end up at the bottom of the totem pole.... so then it came to me that he didn't really care but that wasn't true.
On his last Day of class, O came over to my house, handed me a card entitled "To my Amazing Girlfriend". Inside he said things like "Thanks for being patient through all of the hassles and inconveniences, and still giving us a chance to get through this. I love you and am here for you".
As if that wasn't enough... we took off and went to Tahoe to snowboard (I was learning) and gamble and eat for the week. O's entire goal for the week was to reconnect and be as romantic as possible. Spending so much time together, it occurred to me that he's just a guy and will still watch as much TV and especially cartoons, as humanly possible. Hehe.
So we came home Thursday last week and then went out with his folks on Christmas Eve. They really are lovely people, and we took pictures together and ate. O begged me to stay awake until midnight, so we could open presents. :-)
I knew he would come undone when he saw his gift - an embroidered black belt (karate) with his name in Kanji. Didn't realize that he was such a wonderful person when it came to my gifts: guitar lessons, a new backpack for school, and a beautiful brocade jacket (which he bough the day after I tried it on the first time and proclaimed that it was too expensive!).
On Christmas Day, we went snowboarding again. After I fell a million times and we were standing at the bottom of the hill (he is patient like a saint), he told me that he's ready for a family. After talking about it for a couple of days, we really decided that we're ready to get married, move in, have babies, etc. That was the best Christmas gift EVER.
Now it's time for us to get our fat a$$es in shape and get ready to be a momma and a poppa. Ack. I just said that.
