Families...

Ever since my boyfriend and I got back together, we would spend 1 weekend together. It usually ends up being a Saturday, otherwise Sunday if i am working on Saturday. I love spending time with him, even if it means we're lying in bed falling asleep in each other's embrace or just going to one of his family dinners. I'm always content with what ever we do. I love being close with him, something about his personality or something about him in general makes me feel safe. Well, if you know us in person; it appears that I wear the pants in the relationship. I do, but we treat each other as equal. There isn't a whipped person in the relationship.

Now, ever since we started dating...we never really went out much. Vancouver is kind of a boring city and there isn't  much to do in the first place. Just the usual go out to movies and dinner thing, or just pretend to be a tourist for a day. To be honest, it gets really boring pretty quick too. So instead og sitting on our asses in his car, asking ourselves - where do you want to go today? or what do you want to do? We just go to his place and have dinner there. I met his family and I seemed to be adopted into his family fairly quckly. Usually, with my past boyfriends it took a while for me to warm up to their parents. I warmed up to his parents fairly quick. It just came to be a surprise to me. Well the biggest one was when his grandma came up to me and gave me a hug. I never really got that from any one's grandparent.

So today, iI sepnt the rest of the after noon with my slinky. We went to his aunt's place for dinner,she was throwing a birthday dinner for her oldest son's (belated) birthday. Today,I finally met one of his cousin that he always talks about. Like her mother and the rest of his family she was a good sense of humor and was kind of enough to lend me her text book. Later in the evening when we were all lounging around in their basement wtaching this lame show, I think it was called "Flash Point"? His sister's boyfriend made a comment about how close and accepting their family was.

I actually agree, my family is very distant and we don't really talk much. I feel I don't have a real family. I feel like this house is one of those boarding houses. My dad is the strict head master. He called me, before 11 to see where the hell i was. I mean normally I walk in the door right smack at 11. He treats my older brotherand I as if we were 12. He seems to exaggerate things, which pisses us all off.  I get no freedom, and Im 20 years old. I actually want to be treated as an adult and not some kind of child. My family doesnt have this fancy dinner, where we invite all our friends and family over and have a nice feast. We either go out with just our family invite a few old hags of our family or just stay home and have steak.

On the other hand, like I mentioned earlier, I was instantly accepted into the family fairly quick. His grandparents seem to love me! His grandma told me to go over to her house and visit her more often! I guess she missed seeing me pop my head in and say "Hi," when ever I'm over. His grandmother's so silly. I wished I had a grandmother just like her... Oh and when i took a picture with his grandparents, his dad was like "is she the one, now?"

my reponse, "its his choice." I do hope I am the one for him. I really love him....and i don't want him to leave me again...
