Airport Pickup

The next day Wednesday Chad and I went to the airport to pick up his Mom. She had been gone in California working at her Curves there and had missed this whole momentous week. I had met Leslie only once for a little bit on our first date, so I was nervous to see her again with all of this stuff happening when she was gone. When we picked her up from the airport she was not in a good mood. She had had a rough week and a really rough day. Now I was scared! She got in the car and asked how things were and Chad said, “Mom, this is the woman I’m going to marry” (I could have died- he could have been a little more tactful). She turns around and said, “You want to marry him” and I choked out a “Yes” and then she turned to Chad and said, “You want to marry her” I felt like I had just been stabbed in the heart. And Chad said “Yep”. She kept asking questions all the way home, and I wanted to be anywhere else except in that car! I got to know Leslie better and soon we were talking about me working for Curves.
