Per Scott's request, Kevin came over early yesterday. Scott wanted a chance to talk to Kevin one-on-one. The spent almost an hour in our office talking. Then he came out and the two of us chatted. Tee hee, at one point I realized that Robin has yet to tell Kevin a few things that she's told me. Which, to be honest, made me feel good knowing she could confide in me. Anyway, it was nothing huge. Kind of "what he doesn't know yet won't hurt him" things.
He rode with us to Chattanooga and left his car at our house. They were coming back to his house anyway so there was no sense in taking 2 cars, not to mention I think he wanted to yak
Anyway, he made the sweet point that he has never really considered me his SIL, just his sister. As someone who doesn't really share feelings like that with us, I was obviously very pleased. He talked a lot about their wedding plans. Knowing Robin didn't really even want a ceremony and wanted to elope, I suggested to her why not get married in someone's house? You know, just have her parents, Kevin's parents, her brother and his wife, and us, just to hang out, have a cookout or something. Then have her pastor knock on the door later and BOOM, get married. She LOVED the idea.
Well, she pitched the idea to Kevin and now they are considering it. Now Robin is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Disney Haunted Mansion fan, so they may be getting married on Halloween at a Halloween party. Cool eh?
Now onto lunch. *sigh*
For those who may not know Kanpai of Tokyo is a hibachi-style restaurant. We sat and talked and had what I thought was a really good time. About midway through the meal, Robin stopped talking. I didn't think a lot about since she mentioned she is on call this weekend and had been awakened at 5 a.m. to fix something for work. I'd be tired and a little moody myself.
So when lunch was over, we stood outside for a few minutes. Knowing how eager the both of them were to get on with the ring shopping, I wasn't going to try to keep them there a long time. So we jawed about me and Scott possibly going to a movie and letting them get on their way. We told them, "Congratulations, again, you guys. We are so excited for you," and such. Shy grins follow. Then what?
"Well, see you guys later."
We just ended on a very strange note. We took them out to celebrate the announcement for their engagement and I really felt like the tone was off. And this is not a big deal, I promise, just something I noticed: they didn't thank us for lunch. I thought that was a little odd, especially for them.
I'm really wondering if Robin had been arguing with her mom that morning and was just having a bad day. I know for myself, if someone has upset me or made me mad, I try to put it on hold and enjoy the people I'm with. I don't know. Like I said, we just left on such an odd note. I don't know if I will ever know what was going on yesterday, but I guess you could say I was a little disappointed in how the "engagement celebration" went.
I don't know.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Congrats to Kyle. I not sure I want Alex to go away to college, like I have a choice.
(actually we will prob go anyway, as Kris' truck is HUGE!)
Prayers answered! Wendie- I'll continue praying for more good news.
