So the yesterday I went over to my best guy friend's house, I still feel awkward about how to refer to him so let's just call him Cody.
This is him:
And I was originally just invited for the afternoon, although I'm guessing he had alternative motives all along because his family started arriving at 1 in the afternoon... Anyways. I went over to his house, his father picked me up around 11am and he first surprised me with a gift which was quiet lovely! A simple gift, but a surprise none the less, mostly because we had many conversations about getting each other gifts and he had basically said it was terrible at buying gifts, never did for anyone and so I had assumed we wouldn't get each other anything. So I thought it was nice he had got me something that I'd actually told him offhandedly that I liked. Which means he actually put some thought into it and listened to what I had said I liked.
So that was lovely. The rest of the afternoon was spent playing Super Mario Brothers on the wii with his sister. And then as we had planned, I was supposed to leave before his family arrived for dinner. I wasn't told the reasoning, but I had assumed that his parents had said I wasn't allowed to come when he had asked simply because his other siblings have girlfriends/boyfriends and if they had allowed me to come then they would have had to allow everyone elses dates to come. Which I completely understood and respected so I didn't push the issue but then as they had set the table, his mother realized she had set one extra place setting and said "oh well I suppose shelby will have to stay for dinner to fill it, I don't want my table uneven" Which OF COURSE reeked havoc with Cody's siblings because they found it to be unfair. And so I told her I didn't think I should stay because that would be unfair to them, and I didn't want to do that. Now I should clarify the younger siblings are the ones that thought it unfair. But you see cody has some very strong willed (older) siblings and they got it in their heads that I was staying and so they came up to me saying "you are staying for dinner" and when I tried to argue they are just like "no you are staying" Sooo I sort of let myself get pressured into staying. But I had an absolutely wonderful time! I just love Cody's family far more than words can explain. And Cody is just awesome, a huge pain in my butt, but awesome. So overall I just had a wonderful time! And it was especially nice because the day before I had visited with my family and it really wasn't that festive or enjoyable, so it was really nice to have a lovely christmas dinner and day with great company! :D
In other news, I got a BLACKBERRY today. :P Yes... I know... you don't need to say anything.
Teehee Good evening. :-) Let's hope Fatima posts soon!
Love Shelby
