I know...I know...I haven't blogged in almost a month. So, either things are going really well or things are so horrible that I'm embarrassed to blog about it.
Let's go with the first option.
I've been spending a lot of quality time with Ms. S. (going out to eat, movies, sleep overs) all that good stuff. She even surprised me and we made an impromptu visit to see her mother and grandmother. Apparently, once a week she has dinner with the two most important women in her life and since she doubled booked (quality time with me and mom and grandmother)...her two worlds were about to merge.
I was going to put up a fight and pass on the visit until she said it would be no sweat. I took that as a small challenge and I hate failing on tests. So, I withdrew my protest and went along with the plan. So, we had dinner with her mother and grandmother on a recent Monday and I was a nervous wreck. I thought I held my own with conversation with grandmother and mom and I didn't say anything off the wall. I stayed very conservative. But you never really know how you did until the significant other relays what her elders tell her.
Afterward, she said her mother and grandmother both liked me. So, now I felt I could relax a little bit. We have tentative plans for her to meet members of my family in the spring since they all live 5 hours away and that would require at least a 3-day weekend. The next test comes on Thanksgiving as I'm spending Thanksgiving with her whole family (mother, grandmother, aunts, uncles and 100s of cousins. I'm definitely nervous now.

I like the way this story is going :-)
@ladynay...I do too...that's probably why I'm nervous about Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving with the family?! That's big time. I can't wait to read about it!!
Nice! I'm meeting my boo's family for the first time at Thanksgiving as well. Very nerve-wracking. Good luck!
@sistah1 and anon...I know...I think I did well...working on that entry now.
