Messsican Christmas 2

I'm home for the holidays. I have been here for a little bit less than a week. Super D went back to visit his family yesterday evening but he spent a few good days here at home. We had a good time but it was a little bit stressful. I guess it always is stressful to visit family during the holidays with your living-in American boyfriend when you are supposed to be a good Catholic Messsican girl. Yes, my family is not very happy that we are living together and we successfully managed to avoid the topic during the holidays. There were no comments or conversations about the house, about our life in the US, etc. We did talk a little bit about the cruise and other stuff like that, but we were all very good in being in denial about our situation. And that made the whole deal a little bit stressful. HOwever, I do have to say that we were all very good to each other, my parents to David, David to my family, my family to me, etc. It was a very nice holiday, and David got to spend his first Christmas outside the US. That was good. And he drove all around! Yes, he did. And he was amazing - he survived in this crazy traffic! And he practiced his almost non-existent Spanish, and learned a little bit more, and we all ate like there was no tomorrow. Good Lord - my stomach is just asking for some time out...

But the best, best part of all was that we had a chance to spend some time with my beautiful baby nephew... At his tender age of 10 months, he knows how to be the center of attention. We are all crazy about him. He is my first nephew and I don't get to see him that often for obvious reasons so I did go crazy with him... He is so funny! I'll post some pictures when I get back to A. Just a few of the hundred and ten pictures that I took. Again, I went crazy!! Thank God Super D took the camera back with him. I could have gone on and on with that camera and that beautiful baby...

signing off for now.

Por que sera que la mayoria de las familias latinoamericanas viven en esa negacion religiosa, que la verdad no es mas que una farsa, si me preguntan a mi. Yo soy Catolica, creo que en Dios y la verdad es que no entiendo como vivir con alguien a quien amas puede ser tal pecado, ah? Aunque por supuesto traigo conmigo el cargo de consciencia que te programan al nacer, y no se si algun dia me atreveria a hacerlo... bueno, tu disfruta y sigue en tu negacion, que mas?
