Wow! that week went by quickly. A lot has happened so I'll get straight to it. Christmas was a joyous affair. Tomoka likes the diamond earrings I gave her and the platinum doesn't trigger her metal allergy so that's good. I'm enjoying my presents (xbox!) very much. Everyone was very generous and I feel blessed. We managed to get out of the house a few times. The Smiths were kind enough to host a party with great food and company including a few people I hadn't seen in years. We visited Sarah and Marc and the boys a few times. Henry is simply adorable and Oscar is sweet too - though I'm a little worried he wants to steal Tomoka from me.
I did accomplish my goal to get up the stairs. It's wonderful to sleep in my own bed again.
The other big change happened last night. I proposed to Tomoka and SHE SAID YES! We still have to work out all the wheres and whens. I'm feeling euphoric and a little overwhelmed.
Animink is sending me some work to do at home and I'm looking forward to it.
My next goals are to continue working on balance and walking. I want to thank you all for your prayers and concerns. I've been blessed with more support than I deserve and owe a debt of gratitude to you all.
With much love,
-Jamie

Omedetto gozaimasu! (I hope that's the appropriately nihongo expression.) Y'all are really good for each other, and I was there, man, at date one. The genesis. You kids grow up so fast! [Sniff.]
