Good times meeting the parents
This weekend could not have possibly gone any better than it did. Carter and I went home to meet my family in Yakima. We had a family barbeque, went to the Toppenish Rodeo, hung out with Erin on Sun. and had a huge family breakfast on Sunday morning. It was perfection.First off...he held his own in conversation with my family. He and my stepdad Carl, chatted for what seemed like forever about hunting, fishing, and other stuff that I did not hear. I have never heard Carl talk that much. Everything was perfect. I was deliriously happy when I was able to spend quality time with my 15 yr old cousin, Stephanie while he played croquet with the men. He fits right in.
Sunday we had breakfast with my parents then met up with Erin, my beloved friend. This was a HUGE hoop that he was having to jump through...she loved him too. He passed through with flying colors. We chatted, had margaritas, and went to the Farmer's Market, then back to her house to hang out with Linda her mom for a bit. It was lovely and cannot wait for our wedding someday...Linda will be a hoot!
In the evening we went to my first rodeo and I had a blast! I cannot believe that I actually enjoyed it...but it was so much fun...I definitely will go again. We ate greasy food(yucko blooming onion and a corn dog), which later made me EXTREMELY sick. We dropped my parents off and went out to Antanum and lit some fireworks.
This morning another family gathering over a wonderful breakfast in which we all talked about farting and gross things that are in our food. Yeah it was good family conversation. We drove home the long way and went to Carter's for dinner, movie, and good chatting time. He really liked my family.
This weekend for me was so important and it went amazingly well. I know in a greater way that I am in love with the most wonderful guy and my family digs him as well. It felt like this weekend was the final loop for me. There are no more hoops to jump through except giving it more time.
