friday i was soo axious. i couldnt wait for Adam to get here. he was really, really scared to see my parents again. they've only met once and it was Adam coming down to watch me sing at Mass. we got back to my place when my parents got home from their anniversary trip to Vegas. *sarcasm* what a perfect time for them to meet! */sarcasm* My dad was kina pushing for the familia to have dinner with him. Adam ended up leaving fresno a couple hrs later than he had wanted bcz he had to get his brake pads replaced by his bro Jacob. Jake is great with cars. hes trying to get back in to Wyotech up north. i think he would do really well there if he gets his act together. so Adam ended up gettin to the house at 4ish. my mom warmed up some of that great pizza from vons. it was kina burned from the oven. good nontheless. ended up staying longer than either of us thought we should (just bcz of traffic down to LA), but it still didnt seem like Adam got to spend enough time with my parents. theyre great with him and they like him and everything but it seems that they still havent completely embraced him like his parents have with me. after a great talk with his dad during the football game, i feel much more comfortable and accepted with them. but hes still really nervous around my parents and doesnt feel as though they like him. i think if they got to spend more time with him that he would definately feel better about them. it took me some trips up and visits to the parents' house to get comfortable. im sure when he does the same, all will be even better.
traffic down wasnt bad. we hit LA after all the going-home rush. arrived at the resort at about 7 or 8? after getting lost just trying to find the parking LOT we walked over in the cool, beautiful night to Downtown Disney. we didnt see much red-shirt wearers yet, but they didnt need shirts for you to tell lol. Adam was really excited to see the Lego store lol. it was really cute. he was in heaven. we passed by the house of blues and the southern food place where they were having the Gay Days dinners, dances and such. we skipped all that stuff bcz 1) im not of age :-( and B) we didnt have the money for it. we barely had enough to get there and be ok. we got to see a little bit of the nightly fireworks show from downtown disney. after it was over we made our way into the world of disney. its a HUUUGe disney store right before the park entrance. saw these really neato drumsticks that were all acryllic, clear plastic. as i got closer, i saw that they actually light up when they are struck on something! thats awesome!! but me being me decided to wait and see what else i could spend my money on before i go buying everything i thought was cool. Adam, on the other hand, was a man on a mission. he was sent down with money to buy gifts for new littles in KKY. he searched like a hawk thru every store we went to lol for a "big Tinkerbell", aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnd...... i dont remember what else he was looking for specifically. i DO remember he always had an eye out for Princess ..... the little Indian princess from Peter Pan. Princess Mononoke or something. idk. he was all disappoined in my lack of Disney knowledge tho lol. it got a bit late and the park attendees had all pretty much cleared out. shops were all beginning to close so we headed back to the car (i wished so much that he would hold my hand!) and headed to our cozy holiday inn round the corner. we had no trouble checking in bcz my dad had already called earlier in the day to confirm that i was gonna be the one to check in. we got shuttle times from the front desk and headed to our room. we finally went to bed about 1230a. i couldnt remember if the park opened the next day at 8a or at 10a. it didnt matter. we'll just wake up when we wake up. (which was about 830a when my alarm went off lol) but neither of us could care a bit. we were too happy just curled up i bed, falling asleep together.
