The past week-and-a-half or so has been a blur of activity and nothingness. I’ll try and hit the highlights.
I finally met Renee’s parents and her daughter – on the same night. Originally, I was invited to come to Sunday dinner but Renee thought that might be a bit much hitting me all at once. So the plan was that she and I would go out while the parents watched the young’n.
So I drove to her parent’s house (to pick her up) and would then meet all the interested parties. Renee’s parents live just outside of “the middle of nowhere” so I dutifully missed the mailbox of the homestead. But I finally found the place.
I met the parents and her daughter. We basically sat there for 20 minutes watching the child run, hop, bounce and dance around. Then Renee and I went off to dinner.
Sunday dinner went off without a hitch and I felt right at home. The only additions were an aunt and uncle I hadn’t met before but who seemed really nice. We sat around and drank beer, ate food, watched football and kept the fire going all the while.
Since then I have been at Renee’s a few more times while the daughter was still awake (previously, I could only come over after she went to bed). She’s a cute little girl who is bright and inquisitive – and a silly-heart.
There are probably some details I’m missing here but, like I said, it’s been a huge blur.
