Some firsts…
Posted in engagement on 12/06/2009 02:26 pm by RyanThis weekend brought some big firsts in our little journey…
First off, I took Adria’s mom to see the venue. I was sent on this mission solo while Adria was prepping for her show because Adria was afraid to see The Mom’s reaction of what is clearly her favorite venue and our front-runner.
Mom loved the venue.
This makes for a very happy bride-to-be. More on that to come…
Cody Connard brings the Sugar Plum some flowers.
Another biggie was this weekend marked the first meeting between our families! Though we’ve been together a few years already, the opportunity and timing hadn’t aligned properly until now. Adria’s mom came up for Adria’s show and I talked my dad, sister, brother-in-law and both nephews into coming to see Adria dance. They all met at my place & we went to an early dinner and hit the show. Everyone behaved great!
The final first was the boys getting to see their first ballet. Adria danced the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker, and she did so gracefully and beautifully. Oh, and it was her mom’s first time seeing her in that role, and I know that was special. I didn’t sit next to the boys, but I think they enjoyed it. The youngest nephew, Cody, got to bring the Sugar Plum daisies. He’s such a flirt… I gotta keep my eye on that kid.
