Perhaps nothing is more encouraging about a relationship than meeting the "in-laws" and realizing that
1. I am very comfortable with these people and
2. These people are awesome.
I've met N.A.'s family before. This is my second time in N.A.'s state, but my first holiday. I've been eating awesome food. I can sit with them and blog. I've slept 10 hours, 10.5 hours, and 11 hours in the last three days, respectively. Waking up at noon elicits no judgement from them.
Yuck, do I really have to start spring semester soon?
How do you fare with the in-laws (or "in-laws")? Did you ring in 2009 with them?
