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."
