Couples Shower

4/22
Let me just start off by explaining that my bestie was getting married (wedding occurred June 11th...hence the 'was' getting married...since she is currently married). So I was crazy busy with wedding activities and planning all summer!
Lauren and Tre were having a 'couples shower' in Southlake the weekend of Easter. Julianna's family was supposed to come visit so we resolved that making the shower would not be possible. Last minute, Julianna felt the need to attend so she asked DonMark to go with her...though he was sicker than a dog. We planned on staying at Julianna's parents that night and then head back the next morning. Note this is also the first time DonMark would be meeting Julianna's parents.

Was sooo happy to surprise Lauren by showing up to the shower. I was glad to be there and be a part of everything with her. DonMark..I already know was confused on the whole 'couples shower' but I wasn't going alone...
I was not worried at all for DonMark to meet my parents. He is perfect. Was concerned with him barfing all over the place, but that is the risk I took :)
I forgot to warn DM though that my parents don't believe in A/C...well they don't believe in using it. They are cheap and won't turn it on...so it was like a million degrees in the house and he is warm natured. I think we will only be visiting my parents in the winter. HA!

I don't know that I was really confused on the whole "couples shower" as to what it was. But more confused as to why I should be a part of it. See to me wedding and baby showers etc... were always more of a female type thing kind of like blogging. However, as evident here I am turning over more than one new leaf. I am FAR from perfect, but meeting the parents went well and no I was not nervous at all.  Luckily for me/them by that point I was pretty much out of Double Dave's Pizza and stomach acid so no more barfing occurred.

Also, I remember the drive back that morning. DonMark wanted Jamba Juice. I will say one thing about his driving..he hates when I doubt him or try to give input on turning/directions. I trust him to get me where I need to go. There is no doubt in my mind that we will get somewhere safely and on time, but sometimes I just cant keep my mouth shut and I want to point out turn here, stop there, park over there. Sooooo after the jamba juice stop. We were headed to get back to I-20...instead. We ended up on another highway. I dont say anything. But we do take a random hysterical detour. Sooooo funny.

This back seat driving deal is very similar to her leading when we dance. I find it very frustrating, but we are working on it. I will however take 100% responsibility for us ending up on the wrong highway here.  I was completely not paying attention to where I was driving, but it was worth a few laughs so it worked out.
