Love Is All You Need

So lately I realise I've been pretty quiet on the blogging front but I have had such a busy past few days. Along with uni and work, I made a big step in my personal life. I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time last weekend. Now I may be 21 but I've never actually met a guy's parents before so it was a huge deal to me. I don't think I've ever been so nervous before! My boyfriend, Tom, was trying to reassure me that it would all be fine but I couldn't help but want to impress them. First impressions are so important in society nowadays so I just wanted for them to approve of me. In the end, I had absolutely no idea why I was so nervous! They were so chilled out and lovely and made me feel so at home that I've stayed there for the past 2 weekends now. All we do is just sit and chat and stuff our faces with pizza but it's such a lovely time. But one thing that Tom's mum said really stuck in my mind. She'd been chatting to her work friends about meeting me (one of which happens to be a distant relative) and she told them that we were perfectly matched. Genuinely, that made me smile so much. Yes, of course I think that my boyfriend and I are a perfect match but to hear someone else say it, it really did make my day. It felt so good for someone outside of our relationship to say we suit each other so well and the fact that it was his mum was the first one to say it meant a lot. We're very happy together and now the next step is Tom meeting my parents but it seems that they don't really care too much (I'm mad at them for not showing much of an interest!). Hopefully that will iron out soon.
