Boy Toy’s
sister had a birthday recently and she was going to have crabs with him and the
folks. She asked if I would be there. This pleased me greatly because 1) free
crabs and 2) his family likes me. I helped Boy Toy pick out her present at
RenFest (scarves) and he chose a necklace out of a few I’d made for her.
I was
surprised at the warm fuzzies I got at being welcomed into the fold. It was a
pleasant surprise that it was kind of expected I’d be there or at least get the
offer.
I think his
family is happy for their son and happy to have another crab eater around. Boy
Toy doesn’t like shellfish. Weirdo.
It was novel
to be cracking open crabs with his family talking about what to wear to the
wedding. We decided that a brilliant indie movie would be the shenanigans of putting
on a Hin-Jew wedding in New York and watched football.
Boy Toy’s
cousin is getting married at the end of October and I’ll be his +1. He has a
big extended family which I’m excited to meet. It will also be a low pressure
situation. Yes, everyone who knows of me will want to meet me but they’re here
for the folks saying “I do.” I’m just a fun bonus.
My mom
warned me I should have some responses to inevitable questions ready. We’ll
have only been together 6 months by then so I’m hoping then “You’re next”
comments will be limited. I have a dress at the ready but I’ve got to get shoes.
I’m currently in that process now.
For those
of you wondering about our first fight, I’m not sure it’s going to happen. I
was waiting for the same thing when I realized that we’d had a few
opportunities for that fight and we ended up talking about it. I’m hot tempered
but Boy Toy is not. You can fight with someone who won’t fight back. I’ve also
gotten a lot better at communicating my feelings as I’ve gotten older. He’s not
perfect about it but he’s a reserved guy. This may change as life goes on but
so far, so good.
My
relationship with Boy Toy is going really well. We’re both happy and looking
forward to the things we have planned. This forward progression feels very
positive and normal. That’s incredibly strange for me but in the best way
possible.
