Meeting mom

So earlier this week, I was able to meet Jeremy's mom Carla for the first time. She lives in Idaho and came down for an overnight stay. She came to visit with him and also to meet me. I was a little nervous, but once I started talking with her all the nervousness went away. She was very easy to talk with and we had a great time. We talked a little bit at Jeremy's and then decided to go to lunch. We had already driven through Hermiston without picking a place and just decided to continue on to Tri-Cities early. Our plan was to head to Tri-Cities later that afternoon and have dinner with my parents. When I called to say that we were on the way there my mom freaked out because she hadn't had a chance to run her errands yet. She was going to meet us for lunch but said she would see us at home so she could get her stuff done. After lunch we headed to my parents house and my dad happened to be home for lunch. He was able to meet her and we sat around and talked until my mom got home. The afternoon was pretty lazy which was nice. I helped my mom get dinner prepped so we could relax. Then my mom and his mom sat out on the swing and visited while Jeremy and I went to get coffee for everyone. Dinner was wonderful and afterwards we played a couple of games of Farkel. All in all, the visit was great and I'm glad she was also able to meet my parents. I had to go to work the next day but Jeremy and his mom were able to visit before he headed to work. He told me later that they talked about me and my parents and she said how much she liked us!! Hopefully Jeremy and I can make a trip sometime this summer to Idaho to visit her.

I'm Vice President!

Thursday night was the last night for my bowling league. To end our season we decided to have some fun. We did something called Blind Scotch Doubles. All of our names were put into a hat and then they were chosen at random. All of us had partners and one person would throw the first ball; if they got a strike then great, but if they didn't get them all down the other partner would try and get a spare. My partner and I didn't do the best. I couldn't bowl for the life of me that night, but at least I had fun! After we were done, awards and money were handed out. My partner and I got last place but still got $7 each. We didn't get any awards but our team had a lot of fun! Then we nominated and voted on new officers for the next year. I was nominated for Vice President and got it!! Haha! Actually Jeremy had the job the last year but he has too many other things going on and won't be able to bowl next year, so I took his place. I thought I was getting some time to relax on Thursday nights but we start Summerbowl next week. I have to keep up on my game!

Chillin with the parents

Since dating Jeremy, we have started a tradition of hanging out with my parents on Tuesday nights. Sometimes we have met them somewhere for dinner and have enjoyed just sitting around talking. Mostly though I help my mom fix something for dinner and then we end up either playing a game or sitting around playing mom's Nintendo DS.

A couple weeks ago, Jeremy and I helped mom and dad clean up the patio and we had our dinner out there. It was beautiful weather and it was great to just sit and relax and visit. We also built a fire and made s'mores! I'm sure we will have many more times like that to come.

We did even plan that sometimes mom and dad would come down to Hermiston and we could go out to eat or make something at the apt. However, Jeremy likes going to Tri-Cities because it's his one night a week he can get out of Hermiston and I don't blame him for wanting to do that. All of us have gotten into the habit of seeing each other on Tuesdays and so nothing is ever planned with anyone else! We all look forward to our time together.

I've decided that soon we need to go down on a Wednesday and go out to Inca's for dinner. I know, another day of the week! It has to be that night though because they have their special 1/2 price fajitas from 6:30 to 8:30. Dad and I used to go there all the time for that and I miss it so I thought it would be a good idea to head back.

We will see what other ideas we can come up with for our future date nights!!
