anniversary

Today’s Friday, and mine and my fiancé’s first anniversary was yesterday. Since it was also his birthday, we went out to eat with his family to El Porton. It was kind of interesting. I had been to their house and the family parties many times, but I had not gone to dinner with them before. My boyfriend comes to my house more than I go to his, so he’s eaten dinner with my family more. But I liked being there anyway. His 12 year old sister and I talk to each other a lot anyway, so with she and my boyfriend sitting next to me, I wasn’t as nervous as if I would have been had they not been there. I like his family, they’re all really nice. It’s just that I haven’t been around his parents as much as he has been around mine. I live with my mom and step dad, so they are the parents he’s used to being around. My dad and step mom and the rest of my family live in Nashville, so he’s only met a majority of my family once, at graduation, and my dad and step mom twice, the other time, being the day of prom when they came thru here for my sister’s wedding. But they all seem to like him. My dad and grandfathers aren’t fond of the fact that he’s not white, but as I told my dad and as my paternal grandfather has realized, there’s nothing that they can do or say that will make me change my mind about my boyfriend. My maternal grandfather is too set in his ways not to say any thing about it. He doesn’t even like men that have long hair (my mother learned that one when she was a bit younger than me). Anyway, we went out to eat with his family, then went to the movie theatre. We got there about 5:45, so nothing would even be playing again until 7. So, we decided to go to my dorm, just to get peace and quite. We watched a movie there, and cuddled and stuff, then went back to his house. From there I went home.

Well, since we figured that we wouldn’t be able to celebrate our anniversary much yesterday, we have it planned to go out tomorrow. I found out last night that my step dad and little brother are going to Nashville tomorrow morning and not coming back til Sunday morning. That means peace and quiet for me and my mom, and since she will be working tomorrow, Chris and I will have the entire house to ourselves! We never got the chance to see Across the Universe when it was out, so we’re planning on renting it then, and going out to eat, probably at PEI WEI. I love that place.

I’ll write more later, and let you know how the movie was. Peace people.
