I have to say though, this last weekend was so nice that I wouldn't have minded having another Sunday, which normally isn't something that I would say.
Let's have a run down of my lovely weekend.
My Saturday started as usual, I worked my morning shift from 8:15 to 2:30 at Subway. It was relatively slow other than a basketball team, but they got they all got the same sandwich which made it go by really quick because they were the simplest ones ever. Gotta love when teams actually do something easy on the person who is working by themselves, because normally that doesn't happen.
After work though is when my weekend started to change to something that isn't so normal about my weekends. Normally I spend the weekend at home, doing homework, and napping... Not this weekend. Nope, I met Chad's parents this weekend so I went home, got ready and then I drove to meet him so that he could drive the rest of the way because he had to come to Walmart to return headphones and then get something else. Plus, it saved me gas and it meant that I wouldn't get lost trying to get there on my own, which was a likely thing because I am a horrible person and I am really bad with directions.
Meeting the parents is kind of a nerve-racking thing, but as soon as I got there it felt like it was nothing. I don't know why I was so worried I felt so comfortable there. I brought my camera, because that was the intentional conversation of why I should come out there anyway because I was talking about how I needed a new place to take pictures because I have exhausted everything around here. I mean I have been taking pictures here for the last like four-five years. I am completely out of things to take pictures of. I had to wear, what I am assuming where his mother's boots because it was muddy and I did not have the boots for it. We came back and I took them off and he was like you didn't have socks? I said I told you that, I only wear socks to work and looked at his mom and was like "She's the perfect woman!" To make more sense of this, he hates socks and top sheets just as much as me which his mom completely doesn't understand so he had to announce it to her that someone else is like him. Anyway, I'll scatter some of the photos around the post. Saturday afternoon/night consisted of taking pictures, Chad and I worked on catching up on Game Grumps together, having dinner with his family. Side note, his mother is a fantastic cook and I think that I ate the best this weekend that I have since like Christmas. I didn't even know what to do because I don't remember being so full all the time with food that is not something from Subway. I mean let's be honest I actually am never full when I eat Subway anyway. Anyway, continuing what else happened. After dinner Chad and his dad went out to work on something on his car and his mom and I stayed inside to watch some TV. That turned into both of us managing to fall asleep. I think that's one of the many things that made me feel really comfortable there because yes, I can sleep just about anywhere and naps are my favorite thing, but even with that being said I have a hard time napping at someone else's house that I have never been to... at least not the first time I was there. That was pretty much the end of the night because when they finished working on the car his parent's went to bed, Chad and I finished watching the episode of SNL that was one and then went to bed ourselves.
Sunday I think we woke up around seven or so, I don't really know because his room is pitch black and my phone was dead and like 7:03 is when my FitBit said that I woke up and didn't go back to sleep. Breakfast was ready at like 8:30 or so, so before that we just laid around and watched more Game Grumps videos because that is just what we do. Sunday was a lazy day. I actually got to stick around because I had given away my Sunday shift to someone else so that I didn't have to rush home the night before and I am so glad that I did. It was really nice to be able to just relax with him and his family for the day. I spoke to his dad about who my mom and aunt and grandpa were until he figured it out. He even dug out a yearbook to see my mom and her twin sister to make sure that they were who he was remembering. We had lunch, and pretty soon after that Chad needed to leave so that he could take his two and a half hour drive home... Three if you add in the time between his parent's and where he met me. So he took me back to my car and we both headed home.I am just really glad that it worked out that I was able to give away my Sunday and was off for the afternoon of Saturday on the weekend that he was home. It appreciate any time that I get to spend with people that I don't see all the time especially him. It was also just really nice to be around his family and feel so welcomed there. There is nothing more that you could ask for from your significant other's family I don't think. I also believe that it isn't always the case so I am so very happy to be in the position where it was. Thank you to them for having me and making me feel so comfortable, because I really do appreciate their son very much.
So, here's to a Monday after a lovely weekend! Today isn't a bad day either.
