Holiday, Finals and a Whole New Year!

I cant believe I am finally having my first actual family holiday-A family I can call my own and spent it with those who I love and trust the most.I have dreamt this day for far too long! two years ago I remember having the worst family holidays. Everyone was mad at each other and it didnt feel real or caring for one another. Finally, I have learned how to set boundaries and get rid of those who wont make me happy, and keep the ones who really matter. The ones that dont try to hurt me-the ones that make me feel good inside-the ones that care about me-the ones that dont take advantage of me-I have so much to be greatful for ThanksGiving,and I am going to spend it with all fo those who made my life feel great well most of them.( I hope to thank everysingle one of them). I am glad, that I am in good terms with my aunt who will help me do most of the cooking; which include, Tamales, Turkey, Ham, Mashed potatoes and gravy, Sweet potatoes, olives, Peas, Corn, ponche de frutas. pumpkin pie, and cider. yummy!Even though I am extreamly happy about the Holidays. I still have my worries about my mother. There are some days where I think she lets herself get possesed by satans little minons, but with Crist has the power to reluenquish it.But I worrie day to day that her condition will worsen and she wont cooperate with me and understand the situation. Her first interview for a free rent free apartment for her living situtation on her own went bad, and she didnt sighn anything or agree to anything.She has a second chance. If she doesnt agree-well my heart will tear and all ill be able to do is leave it to God's hands, because living with her will destroy everything I have.( my marriage, my friendships/roomates,my personal belongings,my health and well being).My other fear is that the if she does cooperate the unite to her apartment wont be done till January, andI
have been warned that if my mother doesnt leave by January then they will move out and take their own route.(which would put me and my husband in a financial strugle.) but I leave it to Gods hands to have patients for me and them to have patients on us and my mother.But i try to put a smile on my face and remember that the lord is under control on all of this, and try to focuse on the hollidays and what to buy people for christmas. (praying that the lord will bless me to bless them this year) and have a good vacation with my husband soon!Ill post up some pictures of the Holidays and how it all went soon! Happy Hollidays everyone, and God bless!!!
