This weekend, I got all moved into my fiance's house. I do not have a lot of stuff, but her house is still pretty small and so it seemed to get just a little bit smaller. She has some friends that I will be staying with all this week. I think that is great. I really appreciate that. Things with the wedding are really kicking into gear now.
Both her parents and my parents also arrived into town this weekend. My folks made it in on Saturday evening to Osceola and are staying with my grandparents. Her folks got in on Sunday afternoon. They drove all the way up from Houston, Texas. They left Saturday morning, stayed the night in Joplin, MO and then finished the drive Sunday morning.
Yesterday was also my grandfather's birthday, so we all went down to his house for a little BBQ and birthday party for him. My future in laws were also able to come along with us, so it was a nice time for everyone to meet each other. It was a really nice time. Great food, great company and unfortunately, they found some old pictures and were having a blast going through all of them. Oh well, I guess that is what a lot of this is all about. Getting to know one another. It is a fun process mostly, except when they pull out the really bad pictures, but hopefully there weren't too many of them.
I am thankful for all of my family, my current family and my family to be. It is a wonderful feeling having more people around that care for you. I welcome them all to our new family and cherish the time that we will all be spending together from here on out.
Everyone have a blessed day!
Joel
