Cuz cloud nine just doesn't seem to cut it right now! BD came over last night to meet my parents and it went amazingly well. I couldn't believe it. He gets along super well with my parents. My mom is really easy to get along with and outgoing, but my Dad is another story. He is a really nice and funny guy, just in the beginning sometimes he can come off a bit gruff. But, last night, he was joking around with BD and they got along wonderfully. I am so pleased! I mean, it wouldn't have changed my feelings about BD if my parents didn't like him, but it sure is nice what they think he's great. It's icing on the cake.
Tonight, I am going over to BD's house. That's two days in a row! Yay! Tonight will be good because it will be the first time we get together since our very first date when we both have the next day off. It's always that one of us has to work the next day. But not tonight! He has every friday off and I have tomorrow off since I'm going to see Green Day with lj.
I am excited about seeing Green Day. Should be a good show. After the concert, lj and I are going to hang out with the exaggerator. Yay! I love hanging out with those girls, they are the best friends a girl could ask for :)
Speaking of friends, that brings me to the not so good news. My friend Mary (who is my best friend at work, we eat lunch together everyday and have gotten together outside of work and she is a really good friend now) is leaving the company we work for. She called me last night to tell me, I am the first to know. But, it will all come out today. I am just so sad. I am happy for her because she is moving on to bigger and better things, I am just going to miss her a lot. Who am I going to talk about boys with at lunchtime now?!? Anyways, it makes me sad. They may make her clean out her desk and leave today, in which case I will cry. I know these things happen, but it is sad nonetheless. We did express on the phone that we are definately going to still be friends and see each other after she leaves, which is great. I don't want to lose her! Sigh, it will be a hard day at work. And my boss was going to take me out for lunch today to celebrate my success on the PPE. I guess that may be off depending on whether he finds out about Mary before or after lunchtime...

I'm sorry you are losing a friend at the office! That is definitely a downer. At least you will stay in touch when she's gone.
I guess it's tough for dads to be completely welcoming to their daughter's boyfriends. You know, the whole protective thing they do... It sounds like BD did pretty well though. :o)
I'm not sure how my parents would act, they're fairly easy going but sometimes that doesn't matter. They can be judgemental about my friends sometimes, so... Hopefully, they will be open minded. I figure as long as I'm happy, they should be happy too.
It's always nice when the parents get along with the BF... a bonus in the dating world... especially dads who can be somewhat overprotective of their daughters... sometimes...
Glad to hear things are going well cdub :) And I'm sure you'll keep in touch with the friend.
As for Dad's getting along with BFs I'm pretty sure my dad would except pretty much anyone I brought home. Being a Highschool teacher, he knows that there are all different types of people in the world, but that most of them are decent people. As long as I'm happy he would be happy.
Now, if I brought home some ultra right winged person to meet him it might be a different story. However, since I'm passionate about what I believe in, I would find it hard to fall in love with some with totally different ideals.
Yeah, I agree with you LJ. Being with someone who has completely different values/beliefs would be out of the question! I'd be fighting all the time... LOL, not that I don't like a good debate every once in a while...
I just know my parents have deemed some of my highschool friends as "not good enough" because they weren't all that great academically. I couldn't give a rat's ass about that stuff. I think with a potential husband, they'd be even more judgemental. I would hope not, but they probably would.
LOL... your comment, LJ, about "ultra right winged person" reminded me of how your Dad said he was going to paste Liberal stickers all over the Neon when it was sitting at your house!!! :D
Yeah, I like a good debate too. Perhaps a little too much as both of you probably know :) Must... not... argue!
I think it would just make me miserable though, since we would be arguing all the time.
Yep, Niki. My dad is pretty pro liberal :p, he has to bite his tongue a lot when talking to some of our relatives!
