for me, meeting his dad was a funny experience. i had met bob once during a hockey game while ryan and i were still just friends. it was very brief and not very momentous. but when i officially met ryan's dad, i realized i was in for a very comical relationship. ry and i went to a rugby game to watch a friend play. while they were playing, ry, his dad and i started having a conversation about ry's brother joe who was serving a mission. we were talking about how joe was serving in france and had met elizabeth smart while she was serving there as well.
{to learn more about missions and what joe was doing in france, please feel free to visit lds.org}
one thing led to another and my future father in law made a comment about how joe should ask her out when he got home
his first date idea... camping in the woods.
funny but not funny. it is that same twisted humor that i have grown up with being the daughter of my dad. it was funny to hear it from someone else.
i dont remember the first time i ever met ry's mom. =( i assume it was around the same time though.
ry meeting my family.
it was during thanksgiving break that ry met my whole family.
remember how i had just sent off a missionary 3 months earlier?
so i knew this was a big deal.
i knew this would be a game changer. luckily my family was willing to see what had me so interested in this guy.
they knew he was important enough for me to bring him home.
i went home for thanksgiving break and ry came down to visit over the weekend. i thought the worst criticism would come from my family...
how could i be so wrong??
my missionary was from the same ward
{congregation we meet with} as me and on sunday, some of the people in my ward were quite skeptical of this new boy. luckily ry did not let that scare him away =)
my family could tell from this first meeting that ry was something very special.
I love these! Keep it up!
