I was nervous about how it was going to go. Kevin hadn't met any of them yet, and I hadn't met Steve, so I was hoping everything would turn out smoothly.
In the end, it was great. Steve was a really nice guy, Kevin thought they were nice, and Abby was a well behaved kid. Couldn't have been better. It felt like the first time I actually felt like an adult making adult friendships. I even found out Candace is 31, not 41 like I thought she said before, and Steve is 7 years older. It makes the age difference a bit less weird, though it never really worried me before.
I really like them, and I'm so glad I met Candace. I was giddy by the time we left to go home. I can only hope we can become better friends in the future.
After getting home, I practiced some of my martial arts moves with Kevin for the first time. He seemed kind of amazed to see that side of me, and it looked like he was having fun working with me once he got used to it. I was nervous about how that would go too, but it was good.
I like including Kevin in my interests. Since I've been seeking out new things in my life, it's nice to be able to show him what I've been doing. I think he appreciates it too.
