In-laws

This past Friday I skipped class and jumped on a plane heading for Texas. Let's just say it was a wonderful weekend...

First thing I got when I flew into Dallas was a big hug and a kiss from my sweetheart. Next thing I did was meet my mother-in-law. I was really nervous about her but she's a sweet lady. She's fiesty, sure enough, but I think she and I will be really good friends. When we got to the house I met my father-in-law. He gave me a big hug. That's what I've always pictured in my head...a father-in-law who gives me big hugs.

We spent the weekend watching conference and talking and just getting to know each other. I got to be with my Tony, too. I needed that. Only a few more days until I get to see him again!!

One of my favorite memories was dinner Friday night. We're sitting there eating and chatting and all of a sudden his mom says, "You two are crazy!" She's right, I think. We're absolutely crazy.

Texas was beautiful. They thought I was funny when we walked out the front door and I said, "Wow! Trees!" They were kinda bummed when we didn't get to go on a bike ride Saturday evening because it began to rain. "It's not supposed to rain when Jeri Lin's here!" his mom said. "Yes it is!" was my retort. I love the rain.

So...most people have horror stories from when they met their in-laws for the first time. I don't. I couldn't have asked for better in-laws. I'm sad Whitney and Kemp (Tony's sister and brother-in-law) couldn't be there but I already know they're awesome too. I'm so lucky! Two spectacular families!!
