Meet The Parents.....

Happiness is having Shawn in my life.

Happiness is knowing he feels the same way I feel about him

And happiness is knowing he feels comfortable enough to introduce me to his family.

I met both of his parents, all of his brothers, sisters, sister in-laws, brother in-laws, brother in-law to be, nieces, nephews, etc. Believe it or not I wasn't overwhelmed by the intensity of meeting his family or gaining acceptance (more or less). Everyone (for the most part) was welcoming, very gracious and supportive. Carrie & Heather (his sisters) said that they we happy to see us together and that my nurturing mentality was a good balance for Shawn. It felt good to feel so comfortable so quickly. But again, Shawn just held my hand (even around of his parents) and treated me like a king.

And on Sunday, we went to the Bergen County Zoo which was wonderful. Yes, it's not San Diego, but it was cute and charming nevertheless. We enjoyed hanging out with his family and then made our way to the city for Shawn's football game. (YES, I said football and YES I cheered him on). Shawn must be special if I'm using football in my vocabulary. hehe He then drove me home and spent the night. It was an amazing weekend!
