Who would have thought?
He's now met the family and hasn't run screaming.
He offered to help my mother in the kitchen, held an extended conversation with my stepfather (a near impossible feat), stood in the rain by the fire singing bad Journey songs with my mother and seemed genuinely amused by the embarrassing stories of me as a teenager.
He said please and thank you. He opened doors and fetched drinks. He offered to drive my car home so that I could have drinks with my brother (visiting from out of state). Hell, he even tolerated my sister-in-law and entertained my young nieces.
My family? My family likes him. My family never likes anyone I bring home. And no, I don't just bring anyone home.
Me? I love him. Yes, I can say it now. I say it as often as I can, as does he. It's refreshing. It's amazing. It's perfect.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a keeper.
