In honor of Throwback Thursday and a very special Halloween
8 years ago, I thought I’d share a funny story about how my husband met my
parents, my brother, and all my friends for the first time.
Dressed like this!

So 8 years ago—college years—it all began when I became this
baseball player’s math tutor. It didn’t take long for me, even with my jaded,
on-the-mend heart, to see that my preconceptions about this jock named Rick had
been way off.
After weeks of tutoring sessions that had also become bible
studys/coffee dates, Rick finally asked me out on an official date. (I was
about ready to give up on the lug. Apparently driving me crazy was all part of
his strategy to win my attention.Pretty sharp--not sure he even needed a tutor!)
But since he’d asked me out the day before
Halloween, and my brother was throwing this big party for our friends and
family and a lot of his youth group kids, we decided we’d attend and have our
date the next night.
Imagine my surprise when my date (and possibly my new
“boyfriend”) struts in to meet EVERYONE I know, including my DAD in a push-up
bra, a dress, a wig, jeweled sandals, five-o’clock shadow, and some impressive
guns!
Talk about an ice-breaker! My mom gave me a mouthed “Wow”
and a thumbs up the second Rick turned his back, btw! (Love my mom!) And I’m
happy to report my awesome dad actually laughed (And made no mention of his gun
collection.)
Do you have a fun meet the parents story? Or Halloween
story? I’d love to hear!
