I wish there was a go to guide on how to impress parents. Before going away for *Scott's birthday he told me that we are going to have lunch/dinner with his parents after our mini vacation. It isn't like I haven't met them before, this time is just different. Different because I have not had a chance to be around his mother for more than 10 minutes.
The morning of lunch/dinner I picked out a classy outfit. I had to go with something that was a mix of fun and sexy. One thing I do know about meeting parents is always dressing well and look as good as possible. When we arrived at his parents home later that afternoon, we were greeted by his dad who was watering the lawn. When we walked inside his mom met us at the door. Of course, *Scott ran up to his bedroom to pick up a few things and left his mother and I alone.
I took the liberty of sitting myself down in the living room and began talking to her about the white water rafting trip *Scott and I took. I then asked her about the piano they had in the living room. Fail. Fail. Fail. She asked me if I could play some music for her. Did I mention FAIL. I get so nervous when people watch me. She stood over me as I attempted to play a song. It was awful. I was missing notes and my hands where shaking. I continued to shake until she walked away. Once my nervousness wore off I played pretty darn good. She yelled around the corner for me to play louder so she could hear it upstairs. I pretended I didn't hear that. It is nothing like hearing your mistakes in surround sound. As soon as I started to get in my zone, everyone was finally ready to go to dinner.

Sounds like the first time I met my husband's mom. I wasn't sure at all how to impress her. Thankfully Koreans are big on education as is my mother and the fact that I attended a good school and was getting a master's degree impressed her more than anything coming out of my mouth. Can't wait to read part 2!
