2 days prior to today. My sweetheart told me that her parents invited me over to their place for a weekend BBQ. Of course being naturally me I said awesome! would love to go. The fact is... I didn't think it would be so soon.
Meeting the parents of my sweetheart is no big deal for me, I knew that with my ability to converse I could easily make things interesting and lighten up the atmosphere to their liking. But I had a feeling that it would be different. The thing is, if I invited them to go out for dinner and I'm paying then that would be my habitat, my territory. I could set the stage for the experience of our meeting. But they invited me so... I'll have to be super ready. Which I was not at all when the day came.
After giving up with my thoughtful self I went to my feeling self. Rather than think my way into this I will ride with it in it's flow. So I got there and things were pleasant. It was interesting yet awkward yet comfortable yet exciting yet boring. It is a nice position to be in and it reflects exactly where I am in my life now. This is great news for me.
Although I'm not a mind reader but the 1st meeting with her parents went well. Their thoughts on me? I'm not sure. My thoughts on them. Well... 1st of all, they have my greatest appreciation for the invitation to their weekend BBQ and also for the beautiful daughter that I have the honor and privilege to love dearly. 2ndly, I still feel that I need to learn more of them and get to know them personally. It will take some time but I know things will work out.
After the eating I got to witness my sweetheart practicing the piano for the 1st time. There seem to be a number of 1st's today. Then we had beer at the place where we shared our 1st kiss. Tonight is a pleasantly rainy night for us 2 pluviophiles.
