Well, just 3 more days until I'm off to New York. I'm excited and scared all together.

I'm excited because I've never been to New York before. It should be an interesting experience. And I get to meet Rob's family. Which is way cool considering that we're getting married on XXXX XX, 2003.

But I'm scared for a whole lot of reasons as well. I'm scared to be taking a plane from LAX to JFK and then back again. I'm scared to be staying in a city known for its crime and muggings. But most of all, I'm scared to death to meet Rob's parents. I've already met his sister Donna, and she likes me. I met his brother John, he didn't like me too much. But now I also get to meet his sister Ellen, his Mom, his Dad, and his Grandma. Not too worried about Ellen or his Grandma, they both seem cool and very accepting. But I'm worried to death about his parents. His Mom has never liked any girl he's ever dated, and even kicked his last girlfriend out of her house when they were both staying there. I really hope she likes me, but I have a bad track record when it comes to parents. I think the only parent of a friend to ever like me was Berek's Dad. All other ones have thought I was weird or a bad influence on their kid or something like that. What if Rob's Mom thinks this as well? I know it won't make too much of a difference for Rob, he'll love me either way. But since we'll be husband and wife in about a year, I really want all of his family to like me. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

As a side note, there might be a lapse in journal entries while I'm, in New York. I'm not taking a laptop with me so I don't know if I'll have any internet access at all.
