Meeting our Families

Almost from the beginning we have been a couple. It is natural for us to be together and to spend time together with our families. That first weekend (March 18) we had been dating was also my Mom's birthday. Jeff met my family (brother, mom, grandma, etc) for dinner that night and immediately they loved him. I was so happy to see how well it all worked out. All I could do was just sit and say "thank you God for giving me this man and allowing me to experience this happiness."

That same weekend, I met Jeff's parents at their home in Huntsville. They are the sweetest people and so welcoming of me into their family. I could see immediately where Jeff gets his sense of humor and generous nature.

I will admit that I was nervous meeting mom and dad for the first time. But I think I was more nervous to meet his sister, being a sister myself, I know how protective I am over my brother and she is the same. After a few minutes though, I was put at ease and have to come realize I have made a friend for life in her.
