Ethan finally made the all-important "meet-the-parents" pilgrimage this past week. I was probably the most nervous I've been in a while, and he was too. We had some awkward moments (and a few tears), but overall I felt it was a beautiful experience to be able to walk my boyfriend around my hometown. Here's the rundown:
Awkward:
-The rental car place I was going with and had reservations for popped a BUNCH of unexpected charges the day of the reservation, so we decided it wasn't a good idea.
-Ethan's bus got stuck in Longview.:(
-All of the nervousness.
-It was TOO HOT in East Texas.
-Ethan got sad on the night before he had to go back to Fort Worth.:(
-I was trying to split my time between volunteering at the daycare and spending time with Ethan. Busy, much?
-Having to pick up Ethan in Longview when I didn't even know where the bus station was...scary for me, but thank Jesus for GPS!
-My ex came running up to me at one of the restaurants and immediately asked me, "So, is this the new man?" Why, yes it is, and aren't you married? Caught you slippin;)
-Being so busy visiting others that we didn't really have any time for ourselves.
Awesome:
-EVERYONE we met seemed to like Ethan. I mean EVERYBODY.
-The hotel upgraded Ethan's room for free:) Hello, King-size suite!
-All we did was pretty much eat our way through Kilgore.
-My aunt and uncle let us use their car since I decided not to rent another one. I was so happy!
-Ethan driving me to Longview.
-My Grandmomma telling me that I have "a lot of man." Oh, Grandmomma....
-Getting to walk Ethan around all the places that have meant something to me and telling him stories.
-The conversation between my Uncle Raymond and Ethan the day he went home. Bought tears to my eyes.
-Getting to go to church with Ethan. :):):)
For being one of the most important days of my life, it went off pretty smoothly;)
With Love, Ty:)
