Meeting the Parents was the Easy Part

Things we say:

It's in our family.  The sex drive goes as soon as we get too fat around, and then it takes too much effort!--Uncle Jerry
I just thought this was funny.

So you're the one I have to be nice to?--Uncle John
Yeah, according to Grandpa Bill--Me
I'm not taking orders from him! I think if you are trying to get into this family you need to take and give a good ribbing--Uncle John
You know, if you shaved your beard, you wouldn't look quite like a homeless man--Me about twenty minutes later
I proved that I can keep up with the family humor, and their roudiness.  I may not be old enough to drink around them, but I showed I don't need to be drunk to have a good time.  

Redheads do have fiery tempers, but they also have fiery passion you know--Me
Is that why your boyfriend is going bald?--Uncle Vic
I was getting blamed for the baldness, and rather than deny it, I just embraced it.  My boyfriend was balding when I met him. hah.

So, if you come from Germany, how come you don't have an accent?--Several people here.
This is actually a common misconception.  I suppose it's a "lost in translation" type of case, become I flew in from Germany, and my parents live there, but I'm not from there.  I am from Missouri I guess, although I haven't lived there since I graduated a couple years ago.  Plus I don't plan on moving back there if I can help it.  

(As my boyfriend's friend gives me a back massage) I think she is invited to the wedding just so she can give me a back massage before walking down the aisle--Me
I wasn't even aware we were having a wedding!--My boyfriend
Neither was I but she's gonna be there!!--Me
We both know that if we can make it through Korea, we'll probably get married.  But he hasn't got down on one knee, and I don't want him to yet.  But that back massage was so amazing, that I didn't care what was leaving my mouth! hah

Blurb My Brain:

So, I'm visiting my boyfriend's hometown in Montana, and I am loving it.  I can't believe how smoothly everything is going.  It is definitely going to be one of the strongest memories I will have with my boyfriend.  So far, we haven't done much.  We just have been visiting friends and family, and going shopping.  It is so amazing to be able to eat Arby's, and Wendy's, and pay for things in dollars. This morning was amazing because it was just me, my boyfriend, and the dog in bed. I loved it.

I am getting along so well with the family too.  After showing that I won't take crap from anybody, I think I have proved that I am ready to enter the family.  His parents even bought us a hotel room for the night at the local Hilton so we can have one night to ourselves.  Talk about amazing.  But I'm not letting it get out of control.  I still think it is best to wait until after Korea to get married to see if we can make it, but after this trip I don't see it being a problem.  I'm hoping that 2011 goes by so quickly.
