So my son brought his girlfriend over to meet the family. We had family dinner with her. He didn't tell her that for our family, dinner is a big deal. I set the candles and get soft background music to create a relaxing environment for my wife and daughter. I think she had environment shock. She almost cried right there over her chicken savicci. He told us later that her family can be a little on the drunk side and she goes to church for safety. And she feels like our family is from like a Hallmark movie.
Fast forward a few weeks. She feels a lot safer to show her personality at our house and asks to choose the jazz. And fits right in with the rest of the family. And asks if it's okay to "Drag your son to church?".
We feel pretty good as parents to see the way they treat each other, and I am thankful that they are dating. We share our faith and have board game nights. I thought I wasn't ready for this stage. And I don't know what the future holds. But this, this is a pretty good thing.
This weekend we are making homemade pizzas, and playing forbidden island, and maybe some Mad lib stories. Happy parents.
