The Meeting

Last week, Brent's dad came down from Quesnel for some heart tests (by the way, results came out great). While he was here, we thought it would be a good opportunity for my parents to meet his dad. So last night, Brent treated my parents and his family (dad, sister and uncle) to a casual dinner at Sammy J’s.

I have to say, I was quite nervous for this occasion! Brent and I can barely manage being together... what would happen if his family didn't get along with mine!? Let's say YIKES! and triple orders of Kit Kat Blizzards which by the way I am so annoyed to find out that they have been discontinued!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway...

I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I was just hoping that we could go through dinner without any awkward silences. I even prayed for crickets.

To make a not so long story short, it went extremely well! Dinner lasted over two hours! Everyone was talking, laughing, it was really great!

My parents really likes Brent's dad and uncle - but you know, I sensed a little bit of competition last night:

"I take 3 pills in the morning."
"Oh really, I take 3 pills in the morning and 3 in the evening."
"You know, my blood pressure is really up."
"My doctor says that my blood pressure and sugar level is really high."
"Oh yea, I can't hear from my left ear."
"That's nothing, I feel a popping sound in my chest!"
"I have a heart chart."
"I can draw a heart chart on AutoCad."
"I can build one out of cedar."

B = Busy

Hey now, sorry for the large gap between posts!

To all those enquiring minds, Brent’s reward was a Nintendo DS Lite! The only reason why I got him one was because I got myself one too and you know, I don’t like to share.

Brent and I have been busy designing/preparing our wedding invitations and favours. It could have been done sooner but we're all about details! My bridesmaids came over on Friday night and helped with putting them together. Janet, Kim, Jenn, Courtnay and Jagreet – thank you so much for all of your help! I appreciate it a lot, even though a couple of you argued about the bows with me and said I have OCD.....

But back to the DS Lite – I love it! I’m so addicted to it. And it definitely helps the relationship. Brent and I haven’t argued about what shows to watch in a while – instead of poking him while he’s watching Xena-type shows, I’m playing my DS and winning coins! But when Brent and I challenge each other, that’s a different thing. He still hasn’t grasped the concept “Bless winning equals happy Bless”. Why does he always want to be better than me?

Hmm, what else to write about. Seems like I’m all over the place! Oh right, the ‘reveal’ is coming up soon. We’ve invited our friends over to our place on May 26th for a Housewarming/Engagement party! How exciting is that!? Do you know that last year, on May 26th, Brent proposed to me… and hey it will be our blog’s 1st Anniversary! I can’t believe it has already been a year! And I can’t believe that the wedding is in 3 months!!! Okay, I’m starting to freak out… where’s my DS…
