Today I did something that proved I must be crazy. I've decided to enter our apartment complexes door decorating contest. The winner gets $50 off of next month's rent. I went to Michael's to get some supplies and sort of blacked out. I got to the register and ended up spending $40. I don't know what happened. I have part of my door done, and once it's complete, I'll be posting the final product! I'm so excited about it! But that's not the crazy part...
The college I work at is having our Kid's Club day out at baseball the first weekend in May. E was planning on coming to see me that weekend, but I want kiddo to be able to go hang out with the mascot. (She loves the mascot!) So, I sent E a text telling him that I was going to make him an offer, and he had the opportunity to say no if he wanted to. I told him that I was inviting my parents to bring kiddo up to the ballpark to the game, and since he would be here, he was more than welcome to join us, or he could stay at my apartment, totally his choice. I also gave him the option of not coming down to see me that weekend. To my surprise, he responds with, "I'll go to the game :)" I don't respond right away, partly because I'm in shock and partly because I'm picking up lunch, and then I get, "I love you".
I called my parents and of course, the first thing my mom says is, "It hasn't been a year, yet." E and I have been dating for 7 months. I had originally said that I would never let someone meet my parents or kiddo until after a year. I don't know what made me ask him if he wanted to meet them. I guess I felt that would be an easier setting than just one-on-one because kiddo would be distracted and not really care, and there would be baseball that he and my dad could watch during awkward silences. Maybe it was my fear about meeting his family at his law school graduation that made me think I should ask him to meet mine? I don't know why I did it, but the truth is, I do want him to meet them. I want them to meet him. I'm scared and nervous, but I guess I should be concerned if I wasn't.
So, internet, was this one of the craziest decisions I could have made?
