10:16 pm - My Grandparents Are the Cutest EVER.
Ok, before I finish my tons of homework......
Yesterday, Jordan came over to the Bachelorette Pad, where tons of fun was had in consuming chocolate and cosmos and viewing Sex & The City and Cosmo (the magazine) from the hours of 8PM-5:30AM.
I love the Future Roomies. Love them so much.
Today I went to Noblesville to "babysit" mah Granddaddy.
Can I please just gush about how freaking wonderful my Grandparents are?
"Meredith, we are so proud of you, and I think it's great that you make such good grades!"- Grandmother.
So I pictured myself sitting doing homework while Gramps watched sports on TV today, but INSTEAD.....
I got to hear a whole bunch of old stories from his youth.
"Did you know how your grandmother and I met?" Gushed my Grandfather.
I found out today! Some parts I knew....but what a cool story...
My Grandmother's brother died in a car accident when he was probably in his late teens/early 20's. My Grandfather had just gotten back from the service. He and HIS brother were there when my Grandmother's brother was in his accident, and pulled him out of the ditch he had crashed into. This is before he had even MET my Grandmother.....
So as she's home to be with her mother after her brother was killed, Great-Grandmother decides to play a little match making. She told her about this handsome young man that went to her church. So, Grandmother went to church with her, and after a couple of weeks, Grandmother and Granddaddy were put on a committee together to plan some church social event.
Since he had a car, the day of the social event, he was in charge of taking 5 of the church girls to the shindig. Two or three of them, Gramps had already dated (whaaaat?), and he decided to take my Grandmother back home last because he wanted to get to know her better. It was when dropping her off that he asked her out.
They went to a circus....then he said "we sat there in the car just talking....and the battery of my car went out!" He had to drive her father's car home. :)
They went on a few more dates.....she went to California to visit a friend for 3 weeks, he went to Canada with a friend of his. When he got back, he called her, but a guy answered the phone....he thought it was a new boyfriend, but it turns out it was the husband of one of her friends. So eventually they got back together, and 55 or so years later, here they are all cute and old and happy.
THEY ARE SO FREAKING CUTE.
K, I'm done. :)
