hiddenmuseThe trip to see our respective families went well - better than I'd imagined, that's for sure.
Kellie's family likes me a lot, so that certainly works in my favor. I think they also got to see that we do care for each other, and that there is a lot of love. And I got to have a tour of a volunteer fire department ... so that was a chance for me to get my dork ya-yas out.
My family visit went rather well. Kellie and I saw my mom on Friday night, so she got a chance to see that Kellie is a good person, and that I'm still the same daughter. She'd greeted us both with hugs, and when we left, she'd hugged us both and said, "I love you both". :-)
The sister was anxious to see me/us, sending texts asking when we were getting into town, did we need a ride from the airport, etc. Then, she saw us and seemed to be somewhere bordering on indifferent. At least she did make eye contact with Kellie and was civil towards her.
The visit with my dad and step-mom went well, too. We'd gone to dinner, and afterwards, Kellie got to hear a couple of my dad's infamous non sequitur stories. I told her that he typically doesn't bring those out to anyone - just family, as far as I know.
So, it was a good time - and even better when we got home, and realized that the best part of going home is returning to our home!
I don't think I really missed anything - but if you want any other stories, let me know, and I'll see what I can remember / unearth!
