Happy 17th Birthday Cona!!!!

I was not able to post yesterday, but my sister's surprise 17th birthday party was a success!! She walked in as a trio was singing "Las Man~anitas" (Happy Birthday) to her. She runs up to my mother and I and hugged us in tears. I'm glad her birthday was so happy. She recently got out of a relationship, a rather long one, with a kid that I did not really fancy!! I hated that I disliked this kid so much, but I had my reasons. I just always looked at my sister and saw immense beauty, a personality unlike anyone I have ever encountered, a sense of humor that has me on my ass laughing all the time, and a heart that protects anyone and anything that is dear to it. If she is going to be with someone, it better be someone who not only recognizes and appreciated these traits, but someone who is equally fantastic.

Lots of people came to celebrate with Jessi and everyone had a great time. My sweet Edgar also came, and finally met my whole family- yes, p-units included!! He was soooo nervous, but what happened after he met my mother was unheard of. I introduced them, and 5 minutes later, my mother pulls me to the side and says: "Ask me what I think..."
With reluctance, I asked her as I looked away, as if something bad was about to happen.
MUCH MUCH MUCH to my surprise, she says "Now this one I like...I get a good vibe off of him, unlike anyone else..." My mother is allllllll about vibes and first impressions. I jumped up, squealed, and hugged my mother because her opinion is EXTREMELY important to me. I always think that if your family doesn't favor someone you're with, it's gotta be for a good enough reason, right? Well my family adores what they know of Edgar so far and I could not be more elated. My niece Erica, who never makes ANY effort to converse with anyone talked to him for about an hour and they got along like a dream! My cousin Mariana said she could see it in my eyes that this one was different. My sister Randy was monitoring how many beers he had because he was driving. When I offered him another one, he refused it because he did not want to upset Randy...lol....soooo cute.

I've noticed all sorts of changes in my thoughts and behavior (relationship-wise.) I want to take care of him and make sure he has everything he needs. I want to see him happy, comfortable, and at peace. I even want to learn how to cook now!! Now, that's unheard of! I'm the kind of girl that has to be cooked for! But now I want to learn?! What in the hell? Hahahaha. Here's the kicker, he has no idea about these changes in me, really. He's never asked for ANYTHING but acceptance from me.

I found someone that has a deep understanding of a universal love- and this completely blows me away.

Now that I'm sure I've disgusted all of you by gushing about my sweet angel of a boyfriend, I will provide you with the utterances that made it to this weekend's....
