Hello, just checking in......

Hi everyone. I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello. I don't post much, but I come to this board pretty much every day and have gotten to know some of your stories, and even feel like I know some of you.

Some of you have given me great advice in the past w/my YM, from complaints about clinginess, from acting childish, not helping around the house, etc. and so I felt like I should check in from time to time.

Well, this time I have nothing to vent about. Just wanted to check in and let you guys know that things are going really really well w/my YM and I. We decided that we should continue living together, and every day that passes, we are learning how to better get along as a family, and we are consistently working on the little things that used to annoy us. All I can say is that, when first living w/someone, there definitely is a period of adjustment and those can be rocky times (for both parties involved, because now I realize that there were some things that bothered him about me too which I've had to adjust). We are committed to always communicating and telling each other what bothers us and work on it to reach a happy medium. It's been working beatifuly. The power of communication boy!

Anyway, he wants me to meet his mom sometime this month (yikes, not sure I'm ready for that). My family already knows him and they love him, so now it's my turn to get acclamated (sp) w/his family. I'm nervous that she won't like me , but he assures me that his mom will absolutely love me. He says "and you know why she'll love you, because I love you and she knows I chose right and all she wants is my happiness". Isn't that sweet!

Alrightty then, gotta get back work now.

Oh, a special hello to Kristin (Jeremy's girl). Jeremy is the same age as Dave and Kristin is the same age as me. Wished they were on my part of the world so we could maybe go on a double date. That would be so coooooooool.

OK I really gotta go now. And just in case I don't get to post again soon........

Happy Holidays everyone!!!!!!!!!

Hi there.. I can't say I ever met you.. but welcome back!!!

You should post more.. If your hear everyday we would love to hear more from you!!!

I want to upload a picture of Dave and I so you guys can put a face to the name. I just have to figure out how to do that. I'll have my 15 y/o daughter do it for me. I'm sure she'll figure it out.

Thanks ladies and I will try not to be so quiet and post more often. :)

Greetings, Newme:)
Best wishes for your upcomming family affair. I would think that Dave knows his mother well enough to feel our her potential reaction in advance, so don't worry. Besides, weather or not she likes you, you are still you, and you have Dave, so either way, you're good.

Keep on rockin',

Hi thenewme!!
Yes, I remember the commotion your last post made here; we were all fighting over whether you were just venting, versus you should kick your man to the curb! (I was from the `just venting camp:) I am very happy to hear that you stuck with each other and that you have found happiness.

Good luck with meeting Dave's Mum!

Merry Christmas to you!
Belinda

Merry Christmas to you too Belinda!

so happy to hear that you guys are adjusting in your relationship and everything is going well :)

Best of luck with meeting his Mom and yes....what he said about her loving you.... was the sweetest!

He's a keeper!

Happy Holidays :)

Happy hollidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year

Hi
Nice to hear things are going well for you. I read over some of your older posts but not at the time you were writing so I never got into those conversations. Seems I miss a lot with so many threads and sections to wander around to here at Ageless. LOL
Sounds like you are on the right track now and thats great that your talking about things. I believe communication is really the most important thing in a relationship and it seems its been a big help in working through issues in your relationship as well. Im happy for you

Boy it's been so busy crazy w/Christmas and work and I haven't had a chance to visit lately. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about.

Anyways, I met his parents on Xmas eve. They are the sweetest most loving people I've ever met. We exchanged presents that same night too; which was a surprise for me so I was relieved that I had sent presents home w/Dave for his mom and his sister that same morning. I felt bad that I didn't buy anything for his dad but Dave brought somethiing for him though.

But I have to tell you, I was a nervous wreck walking in the house to meet them. I kept telling Dave, "it's not too late, we can turn back, etc". He was nervous too but not as much as me. When I finally walked in and they got up to greet me, my face, ears and neck were so red, I felt like my whole head was on fire. Dave told me later that he had never seen me turn that color before EVER. He thought it was so cute that I kept blushiing like that. I was mordified (sp).

All in all we had a great evening. They seemed to genuinely like me and Dave thought so too. I'm glad and relieved.

I'll check back in soon.

Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!

awsome!!

I'm sooo happy for you :)



my face, ears and neck were so red, I felt like my whole head was on fire. Dave told me later that he had never seen me turn that color before EVER.

Thanks for the fun imagery and chuckle you gave me .......of your head spontainiously combusting while greeting his family lol

Glad it went well:)

Dave's parents must have seen in you the same good things that Dave sees in you.

Happy New Year,

DanE
