"So, do you guys want kids?"

I had several good days in a row this week. It was great.

Today, not so much.

My MIL and SIL and aunts (IL) through a shower today for D's cousin. It was really nice and lots of people came to show their love and support.

I wanted to die. It was so awkward for me.

I met some girls from the ward we might be moving into. It was like all of the girls in our UT ward. The ward I don't miss. That bodes well.

Fortunately, I met one girl who was so super nice and and we hit it off right away. That was a blessing. But then she had to go to a work meeting. So, I was alone. But I was holding another girl's baby who is 1 month old, so that was really nice.

And then it got really awkward. "So, L, are you guys going to have kids?" "Don't you want kids too?" "You're holding that baby there, why don't you have one of your own?"

Awesome.

So then it got into family stuff and aunts started talking about the first time they met me, which was at another cousin's wedding. I happened to interject that that day had been miserable for me and I went home and cried (I wasn't well liked by the family upon my first introduction). They were surprised and then laughed it off and kept on going. Why I felt the need to interject that is beyond me. Regardless, I'm sure I made relationships with my in-laws even better.

I wish every day could be a good day.

Tomorrow is my FIL's birthday which means a whole evening of in-law festivities.

Can I just be voted off the island now?
