What were we doing at that moment? Driving back home from a late night pool party for B’s girlfriend (hence forth known as R) and watching The Cure via Periscope perform their second show at UIC Pavilion in Chicago. I must admit, initially I was bummed that we couldn’t attend the second show after how great Friday’s concert was, but after seeing the set list and hearing how even hotter it was inside the venue, I’m fine now, despite the fact that they played A Forest Saturday night just like I knew they would. At least I got to watch it live!
The pool party, which was from 8:15-10:15 pm and went by too quickly, was fun. We got to meet R’s parents for the first time and they met my parents for the first time ever as well. R’s dad was remarking to them how it was about time since B & R have been together five years now. Then Joe pointed out to me privately that our parents have never met and we’ve been together 15 years! Crazy, right? I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have a wedding (we eloped). Plus Joe’s parents moved to Arizona a few years after we got together. Why didn’t our families meet before then? Probably because we lived in a small apartment and never had both sides of the family over. Joe’s parents actually moved to Arizona a couple of weeks before we closed on our home or maybe a birthday party would have brought them together, although who knows with my mom’s sensitivities. As it is she’s only been to our house twice in the 11 years we’ve lived here. Oh well. It’s kinda funny, though.
