Meeting The Millers

The following weekend I had the privileged of going to La Grande to meet Alex's family. I left after work so I got there kind of late.. His parents were so sweet to wait up and be able to meet me. We had a great conversation with his Mom and Dad. It was so great to get to know them and meet them for the first time. We then stayed up till four that morning "talking" haha just kidding we really did talk.. The next night Stephanie and Earl ( Alex's brother and sister in law) had all of us over for Mexican food. It was so yummy and nice to meet the rest of the family. We had fun with the kiddos. All of the little girls and I played with their baby dolls and barbies I of course was in Heaven. We played Janga and lots of other games.. Alex took me to ice cream afterward and we rented a movie. Then hung out the rest of the night with his little brother and sister. I was able to sleep in Cassidee's room with her and so we had a slumber party every night. We had so much fun!! On Sunday Alex had to give the lesson in Sunday school. He did such an incredible job and taught me so much. It was so fun to meet all of his friends and they all call him Nelden so every time they said it I was taken back.. On Sunday was Mothers day and I got a suprise phone call from Sister Toorea and Sister Stallings ( two missionaries that I trained) President Merkley gave them permission to call me for Mothers day because S. Toorea's family disowned her and I am her Mommy!! It was so great to hear both of their voices!! They both sang to me the songs that I would always sing to them and they gave me stars with a color.. It was so sweet and yet so hard to let them go. After church we had s'mores at Jennifer's and all hung out around the fire.. Cassidee also pulled the best prank on Alex called wet Louie we laughed forever over that one.. Alex and I were going to go for a drive afterwards and as we were walking back I noticed that my license plate had changed.. His dad had put a Goss Motors thing around it ( its where he works) I told him thank you really loud and that I loved it.. Everyone laughed and Stephanie said Welcome to the Family Julie. The next morning I had to leave:( its always hard to leave when you've had so much fun. It was so great to go to La Grande and feel so comfortable around his family.
