Alabama

Well, I (finally) met Josh's family and came out unscathed by the experience.  I was fully expecting a grand inquisition, but our short two-day trip was actually quite painless and everyone was very sweet.  I couldn't really gauge what they thought of me, but my overall impression is that it probably would have been obvious if they had disapproved.  The women in Josh's family are not exactly shy.  So, yet another relationship stepping stone has been turned quite anti-climatically.  Maybe that just goes to show how even-keeled we are and how smooth things always seem to go with us.
