so my boyfriend and i have been together for 5 months. yes, i know thats not a long time, but trust me, we feel we have waited a life time to finally be with one another. Weve worked together for 2.5 years and there have always been other people involved. His relationship had just hit 2 years and well i got bored easily. We became good friends right off the bat and emotions developed and now we are here. Its amazing. Ive found the man Im supposed to spend the rest of my life with, my best friend. I hear all the time about how you shouldnt date the people you work with, and this isnt the first time Ive done this. But this. this is different. we work so well beside each other. We know how to communicate with one another, and we are just on the same wave length. Anyway...fast forward.
Today I meet his mothers side of the family, a great big handful! I was nervous b/c Im much different from his last girlfriend, and because I've lived an interesting life and some things you dont want to bring up in fear that they may disapprove, not to mention my last relationship i was in was with a girl for a year. Theres a time and place for everything, but holiday dinner and the first meet and greet is not the best time to mention things like this. So i make small talk, but mostly just listen to other conversations going on. They are drinking wine, and Im throwing back some beer so it makes my social anxiety more bearable and the conversations a little easier.
He gets to meet my father tomorrow for dinner. He has met him briefly but hasnt actually had a conversation with him. He will meet my aunt tomorrow as well, but thats it. He does well in situations like this so Im not worried. He was raised right

Now Im going to crawl into bed and take a nap until he comes home to snuggle with me.. mmmmhmmm.. cant wait.
