my mom is so cute

This weekend, my FI's parents and my parents are meeting for the first time. FH's parents are coming in for the weekend from PA for the marathon and my mom is having us all over for dinner tomorrow.

My mom went out and got filet mignon for dinner and also shrimp cocktail as part of the appetizers -- made an apple pie and also bought a seven layer cake.

She called me at work today to ask the name of 'that red wine you and FH like so much' and where she could get it. (FH and I are into wine and my mom worries what she gets is never good enough, which is silly b/c we don't care!) Then called to ask me what his parents like to drink - do they like anything special? Does his dad drink beer? Any special kind of soda?



All this while my mother is a full time college professor! She doesn't teach on Fridays, though, so I guess she's preparing. Oh, she also had the cleaning service there last night to make sure the entire house was spotless. She's quite the hostess, I have to say. She called last week to run the menu by me to make sure that his parents ate beef!

I asked what I could bring and she told me nothing! I was going to make cookies, but I was specifically told not to today b/c my mom already got two desserts.

I think I am going to have a small flower arrangement sent to her tomorrow. I can't bring them with me b/c FH and I will be coming straight from the city with his parents.

My mom is just too much. I'm sure it'll be as elegant as Christmas dinner usually is. What a great mom I have to go to so much trouble!

Awe!! Well hope it all goes well for you and DH. When our parents met for the first time we called it 'THE SUMMIT'

I am pretty sure our parents will get along very well. They are very much alike, very personable -- and share similar political views.... I know the latter sounds silly, but if you knew our parents, that's a big one!

I just hope it goes well, and I REALLY hope I'm not in one of those moods where I'm worried about every little thing they say... I think it'll be fine, though. I'm pretty confident about it.

I'm especially excited b/c I haven't seen my parents since I got engaged officially last week... so they ahven't seen the ring. FH's been sick all week and I've been working late, so we won't see them until tomorrow! I'm excited to show off the ring, I have to admit!

Awww, that's really sweet of her!!!!!!! Yayeeeeee for Mom!!!!!!!!!!

She must really want to make a good impression on your FILs, that's awesome!!!! I'm sure she'll love the flower arrangement, very thoughtful!!!

Aww! What a mom! That's great! Sounds like you'll have a wonderful time!

I remember the first time my parents met my FH's his parents (the night we got engaged)... it was SO much fun!! Have a GREAT time!

You're lucky to have such a sweet mom!!!
Have a great time!!!

Awww what a great mommy!! Yea i like the idea of flowers that would be pretty so she can have it as a CP or even just in the kitchen! Fresh flowers can just set that mood!
have a great time at dinner

That's right Kara!! The big family meeting commences tomorrow! It will be fine! I can't wait to see your ring? Let me know how it all went!
