I Want to Go Home...

Well well, I've had two weeks of craziness and travels but it was...

Fantastic.

The parents met...and it went very well. They got along great, conversation flowed, laughs were had and overall a great time. Woo hoooo!

And then I went home with Rumba to Canada for the next week. This was very last minute because I booked my US return flight the night before they arrived in Chicago. But I'm glad I went because the previous days with the parents went way too quickly.

Spent some quality time with Rumba and his family. I love it up there. I always have a great time and I always feel so welcome.

Lots and lots of discussions about immigration, engagements and moving there in May. His family is pretty well aware of our intentions so it was fun to discuss with them.

It just feels like "home" with him. Like I belong up there with him. Thats a good feeling to have.

Also went looking at rings while I was there at his request. He wanted some very general ideas but I didnt pick out a specific ring. He wants it to be a surprise so I didnt pick out anything. So we'll see...hehe...

Now Im back in Chicago and have to pack up my apartment. The big move to the burbs is next Thursday. I have no idea where Im going to put my boxes in this place...huge sigh. I hate packing and moving.

School starts in exactly 2 weeks. I'm telling ya...I dont know where the time goes...
