introductions

Last Sunday, The Brother and my future sister-in-law (FSIL...could there be a worse acronym?) met The Boy. Since The Brother is like a sibling (duh) but also two parents rolled into one, this made me slightly nervous. And, you know, I'm thinking the FSIL will be around for awhile so that's kind of important, too. For the most part, I think everything went well. I guess now I just feel relieved. Mark that "first" off the list. That just leaves all the friends...

On Friday, I'm meeting his parents. This makes me simultaneously excited and nauseous. Do I think I'm the kind of girl someone would feel comfortable taking home? Yes. Still, it feels like a big deal. I can't see how they could be anything short of amazing given the kind of son they've raised. Hopefully the microscope I'll be under will be very forgiving.

I know I haven't talked very much about any of the recent developments in this area. It just seems too private to share in such a public forum. Basically, things are going well. I'm happy and pleased and am in disbelief. So strange how things have changed so quickly. And for the better, no less. Life is crazy. You know, in a good way.

If you are in person at all as you are in this blog, his parents will fall for you.

I'm not worried. Don't understand why you should be. Who wouldn't love you. I'm more curious about what you'll think of them.

No worries kid! He wouldn't take you to meet the parents if he didn't think they would love you too! Besides...they would be stupid not to!

I'm so confused. Last you wrote he didn't want to see you anymore. And now you're meeting his parents? That's great!

But still. I'm confused.

Yeah, you missed a comment in there somewhere that things weren't quite over as it turned out. Talked things through maybe 2 days after that post you mentioned. Been going well since.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
