Mothers Day weekend update

So I went to NJ this weekend to celebrate Mother's Day with Matt's mom. I wish I could have celebrated with my mom, but 5 hours each way is a little too far to drive just for a weekend :( I arrived at Matt's house after a very easy evening of teaching (3 cancellations out of 6 students). His mom informed me that we would be going into Manhattan for lunch tomorrow with Matt's infamous sister. I knew that I would be meeting her on Saturday but I did not know about going into Manhattan. Matt told me about meeting her cause you all know if he didn't tell me in advance how furious I would be. So luckily he gave me time to prepare myself, which included packing enough clothes to last me a week. We drove into Hoboken in the morning and luckily I got to knit the entire way! I was working on the Lillian Tank in a lovely red. I'm very very close to finishing it and as soon as I do I will post pictures cause it is looking very very nice and very wearable. Anyway, we arrived in Hoboken and the whole experience was not a scary as I thought it would be. I was still nervous though, we took the train into Manhattan and went to the restaurant. As soon as we sat down and got the bread for lunch, Matt's sister passed it to me, which caused me to spill the bread all over the table because of my nervousness. I've been known to do things like that on first dates too...I guess its a nervous thing. But she lightened the mood by telling a similar story of when their parents were at a fancy restaurant eating Lobster and the butter went flying across the restaurant. On our way back to her apartment in Hoboken, Matt's mom stopped a man on the street that she thought was their next door neighbor Eric. Of course it wasn't and the man looked like she was only slightly crazy. After eating and walking around NYC everyone was very tired, I was practically too tired to knit on the way home! But I did a little bit anyway. So I think the first meeting of Matt's sister was a success, at least I have no reason to think otherwise.
On Sunday Matt and I went hiking in the Delaware Water Gap Recreational Area. We hiked along a stream and waterfall. Although it was only an hour hike (nothing as difficult as I've done in the White Mnts of NH) I did break a sweat and have to think about where as was walking for fear of falling. We are definately going to do more things like this over the summer, which will give me a good reason to go to Blairstown instead of making him drive to WC.
