Well, my parents should be getting on a plane in NY in the next couple of hours or so, on their way up to see me in Maine! It's awesome, because it's almost a year to the day since they waved me off at Gatwick to go and sign onto a cruiseship, and so much has changed since then.

However, they're coming to meet Chris for the first time and I'm not sure whether to be scared or not! He hasn't even spoken to them on the phone, and emailed them to tell tham that we were going to get married! (Which was because I was too scared to tell them myself, because they didn't even know we were seeing each other! :blush:)

My gut feeling says that they'll like him, and they're much like me so I'm pretty certain Chris will like them. I'm lucky in that whatever they think of him they'll be civil and nice, because that's my parents way, but I'd much prefer if they liked him; really, genuine like, not just politeness. After all, he's the man I love more than anything in the world.

I also want them to come here and to be able to tell them about my job, show them my home and my town, and for them to be proud of what I've worked for here.

Urgh. I have the worst butterflies in my stomach.

Awwww, I remember that first visit with the parents. But surely your choice of Chris as a husband reflects well on his character! :)

Enjoy your visit with your parents, and safe travels to them.

just be cool..of course they like him..he is hard not to like... :yes:

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Well naturally he's an awesome guy; he's married to me!! :lol:

Thanks for your support. I just spoke with Chris about it and (in his usual, sensible way) he said "well Christina, it's too late to be worrying about it now"! :D

Hope you had a wonderful weekend with your parents and that everyone was at ease and accepting of each other. Take care and look forward to hearing good news about their meeting soon.

I hope that all is well and you are having a marvellous time ((((hugs)))) (F)

Paul and I met on the Bazaar on the 14th January (he joined my progressive rock forum that day)

July 3rd he flew to England to meet me

We fell in love while he drove all over the place coz I cannot read maps (we were supposed to go to Ingleton - but touched Darlington 4 times, Pierce Bridge 6 times, Scotch Corner twice and Bernard Castle twice and we never did make it to Ingleton)

It has been so long and so much has happened in between...

Arrived in Houston on October 29th 2006

Married 17th November 2006

Lost my father 8th January 2007 (all dates are a blur after this)

Conditional Green Card dated 24th October 2007

I-751 posted on 6th August 2009

Received on 7th August 2009 in VT

Thanks guys...

It was great to see them, and I think my hubby is relieved that they've gone and we can get back to normal!

I'm rushing round at work now trying to catch up again - I need a vacation to recover from the vacation I just had!
