I love surprises! Surprises are really fun! You know, surprise birthday parties, surprise gifts. They're so great, right?! Except when it's something that is totally unexpected and freaks you out.
Elder Gibby wrote me a letter. And in this letter I found out some of the MOST TERRIFYING NEWS EVER! He had written my parents a letter and sent it to them! In his words:
"I wrote your parents. Just kind of told them a little about me... Sorry! I need them to know me a little! I hope they like me! So ya sorry it's been bugging me though because I want to know them a little! LOVE YOU SO MUCH"
My first reaction:
YOU DID WHAT?!?!? NOOOOOOO!
And then I felt bad:
I know I should have properly introduced Adam to my parents... I really do. And I wished I would've. I met his mom and sisters back in January! But understand where I'm coming from. I've never told my parents anything personal. Hardly ever. It's that way with my brothers and sister, too. We talk to each other, but not our parents. Honestly, the main topic of conversation with my parents is academics. I never had that relationship with my mom where I told her about each of my crushes or things I struggled with. Don't get me wrong, I have a great relationship with my parents! It's just not an open-communication, say-whatever-you're-feeling sort of relationship. So imagine how difficult it was to tell my parents that I had a boyfriend in the first place (keep in mind, he's my first boyfriend)! And at that point, he was leaving on a mission in less than a month. I was so worried about what they were going to think.
