Meeting the 'rents

So this weekend, Alex met my parents and one of my sisters.

Normally, this kind of thing makes me break out into a sweat, but not this time...I knew they would just love her.

We swung by at 7:30 PM, and stayed out in the car for a few mintues, continuing a debate on buying property which I was immensly enjoying. When we got out of the car, I said "Mom's probably plotzing...saying 'they're here, why don't they come in?'" :)

We came in, and talked for a while and ate some very good spinach and artichoke dip. Everyone seemed to really like each other.

Mom took her on a tour of the pictures in the hallway and both Meghan and Dad said to me that they really liked her. I took her outside for a mintue to show off the backyard...she looked at me and said "So, how am I doing?"

"Baby, they love you."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely."

And to prove it, a little later, mom brought up from the basement my old stuffed Winnie the Pooh doll that I had as a child. No girlfriend that I've ever brought home got to see Pooh.

On the way back to her place, Meghan called and said "Okay, we've all talked...we really like her - she's a keeper!"

Well, hell, I could have told you that.
