I wish that I could express to you how very thankful I am for knowing and bieng such good friend with such an understanding guy. I was really worried about that. I love the holidays but I am so exhausted. I didn't really get a weekend last week becuase I had a speech meet at school, I've been trying to recover from it all week and knowing the fact that I have like only three hours scheduled of free time between now and Christmas amkes me even more tired, but I think that it is all important enought to put time into. Do you ever feel like the people that are the closes to you are the people that are the farthest away? Not to mention that you live on a different continent, I respect this decision that my dad made and it is important to me to obey him but I really don't thin k that I am loving it very much. And my sister is home now for Christmas which is nice, but sometimes I think that her boyfriend pulls us apart somehow. and I think that this might be our last Christmas as just sisters and it makes me really sad. Not that we won't be sisters next year. I know that probably sounded ridiculous but maybe I'm just in a sad mood because tonight especially I feel that you guys are so far away. Well, I hope that camps went well, and I've been praying for you.
