Met the parents

Yes, it's true. I have now met the parents. I was super nervous for weeks, and then yesterday, I experienced a strange calm all day. Then, just as Lawrence and I were driving up to the hotel, my nervousness returned with gale force. But, it all went well. His parent's were pleasant and conversed with me freely. Toward the end of the evening, his dad gave me some bits of advice for living with Lawrence, which I take as a very good sign. His mother finishes everyone's sentences for them. I can definitely tell where Lawrence gets a lot of his traits from. But, all in all, it was a very pleasant evening. During lunch yesterday, Lawrence told me that he had a surprise for me, then later he told me he lied; he didn't have a surprise for me, he had TWO surprises! The first was. . .new glasses! That's right, he snuck around behind my back and got himself new glasses! They are SO SO much better than the old ones, but they'd almost have to be really. He looks so cute in them! Of course, I think he's cute in general, but I might be biased. The second surprise was a splurge purchase. He bought me silver hoop earrings from Jarrod's Jewelers! I couldn't believe it. I think I'm obligated to say, "He went to Jarrod's," everytime someone notices them. At least that's what the commercials would have me believe. I also found out that Lawrence's mom (who's name is Thurza, btw. Thurza?!?) brought with her Lawrence's baby blankets. The one he used, and the one he was blessed in. Their both very nice, but I did wonder at her timing. I said, "Ok, is she just getting them out of her house, or is she planning on them being used soon?" Lawrence said he wondered the same thing, but didn't ask. lol. Anyhoo. All in all, it was a good evening.
