Kimber's Diary
December 17
I finished most of my Christmas shopping today. It's still hard to keep from buying a gift for Daddy. Sean was with me, though, and he helped me pick out a gift for his mom. We went to dinner after we finished our shopping. He drove us out to Las Palomas—that was a real treat. I'm so in love with him!
I'm glad that I didn't marry Jeff, even though he is a great friend. Besides, he and his wife are very happy. It's funny—their baby is due a week before me and Sean get married. We picked a good time: April 14th. Nobody's birthday, or any kind of anniversary.
I'm really glad that we decided not to marry until now. We were too young before, but now I'm 25 years old. I know what I want out of life, and I have realistic expectations. I'm still way ahead of ol' Jerri in the relationship department! She's still messing around with Rio as Jem! Not to mention Riot…. She needs to decide! If I can settle for one man, anyone can! Still, I'm worried about Jerrica. She's been stressing a lot about Rio, and about her Jem-life. I wish I knew how to help.
Raya and her family are going to Mexico this Christmas. I'm gonna miss her a lot. Especially in these last couple of years, she's really become more than a bandmate—she's like another sister. It's really great how the five of us have been getting along…almost too good to be true. I betcha the ball's gonna drop, something's gonna happen. Things can't be so good for so long. It's not natural.
Anyways, it's been nice having Raya's dad around to support the band, too. I think us girls all need a father figure around, no matter how old we get. He'll never, ever, replace Daddy, or even come close, but it's still nice.
I've been a little jealous of Raya all this time. Her relationship with her dad is as close as mine was with Daddy. Why do I still miss him so much?
