Meeting the Parents!

[Uabassoon]

My sister and I have been planing for her 30th birthday since May, the plan was that Alexa and I were going to meet up with her and her boyfriend in Vegas along with my cousins Keith and his wife Jocelyn. I've been looking forward to this vacation for months.

Then little by little more family decided to join. Then my sister figured she needed to be polite and invite my parents since there was going to be so much family there. We didn't actually think they would say yes on such short notice! Today my dad informed me that he and my mom will be meeting us in Vegas!

This is such short notice, I can't believe that in less than three weeks Alexa is going to be meeting my parents! Our fun filled weekend will now be interupted by my mom and dad! I do realize that after two and a half years it's time for my parents to meet Alexa, but not during our vacation. We are having a dinner on Friday night, with 13 of my family members. Poor Alexa.

Don't get me wrong it will be nice to see my parents, I haven't seen them since May. I also think it's going to be nice taking a family vacation since I can't remember the last time we've done that. I'm sure I'm just freaking out for no reason and my parents are going to love Alexa.

Can't be odder than Paul's initial encounter with my folks. Don't worry, you're even all meeting on a neutral setting - that's what we always recommend for new furry additions ...

If they love you it will be ok how could they not love her shes great , from the things and pictures you have shared with us. Just to make you feel better we all here will be sending happy vibes your way at the meeting time.

Here's hoping that things go well. I sure hope that Alexa doesn't feel too overwhelmed, and that things go smoothly with your parents!

I am sure that won't be a problem, Laura, Alexa is great!!!

I can understand what you are saying- I think meeting the parents is stress for everyone involved- but after a short time Alexa will be part of the family

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! Now that it's had time to sink in I'm feeling much better about the situation. It will be nice for her to meet my parents, now she can put a face to the people that I tell stories about! I've been wanting Alexa to meet my family and I think this is a much better place to meet since we'll have our own place to stay and we won't see them for more than a few hours during the day.
