On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love shared with me his wonderful family! We visited with James' parents today, it's always so much fun just to see them and spend time with them. When I first met his mother, James and his best friend gave me the "Heads up", telling me to be careful, one mistake and she may never invite me over again. At this point, I was terrified, and I spend countless hours trying to pick out the perfect outfit and figuring out how I should do my hair and makeup. Once we arrived at their wonderful home, I was shaking as we walked up and the door opened. She came to greet me with her arms wide open for a hug.... Great joke guys, we all had a great laugh and when his parents found out why I was nervous, they joined in on the laughter.
I have learned so much from his family, I truly cherish them and look forward to all the amazing family camping trips, hunting trips, amazing dinners, Thanksgiving dinners, and much more!
I see James' father in him, his values and how he was raised. James is a true gentleman, just as much as his father is, always opening doors for me, watching where I am to protect me, really treating me like a Lady.
One thing that James has taught me is that family is important no matter what, as much as I have heard that so many times before, what he has shown me with him and his family is much more eye opening. I love my family and I love his as my own as well. What a wonderful gift!
