….I was already weary about how it was going to turn out.
But it was actually pretty good. The first two nights were rough. As sweet as she, my Mother-in-Law tried so hard to get the house cleaned up of the Hoarder tendencies of my Father-in-Law. It didn’t work. Esposo and I were cramped into a tiny room filled with boxes and no bed. We ended up sleeping on a 2-inch mattress thingy that came from the attic. In fact, the only place that wasn’t cluttered in that house was the bathroom.
Thankfully.
By Day 3 and after a trip to DC, my favorite restaurant and some museums, I was in better spirits. On Christmas Day we went to Esposo’s Aunt’s house where I met his Grandmother and more relatives. Everyone was soooooo welcoming. We received cards (ahem..and checks too. Heyyyy!), prayers and hugs. I actually had a really good time.
I like my new family. Everyone is full of laugher.
I can’t lie though….I’m kinda sad that my Dad didn’t call me on Christmas Day. I called them and didn’t get an answer but geez….did he not even think of me? *sigh* My elopement continues to cause problems. I sent a gift card to my younger sister who called to thank me. Which made me feel good. She’s the only sister of mine who has NOT hated me since I got married. Still. My Mom’s love and support through it all has been needed and appreciated.
Hope everyone had a beautiful holiday season.
5 days ‘til I turn 27.
Now that’s something to celebrate.
