Telling the Hopkins

From Mama...

I could no longer take it. After avoiding phone calls and any type of contact for that matter as long as I could, it was FINALLY time to tell the parents. My mama and I wanted to bring the Osborne's dinner, since Mrs. Leesa had had surgery. I asked that morning that my dad come along also. We met at the Osborne's and I felt like I was going to explode. As we left, my mama said we should go eat. I said that we needed to go by the house first. She said that we should eat first since we were right by lots of places to eat. I could not wait, so I said I wanted Oyster Bar, which is by our house. She agreed to run by our house to see what we had painted upstairs. I rode with my mama back to the house and as she talked I heard NOTHING except my heart beating so loudly!! Everyone went upstairs to look at the paint. After two seconds, I was ready to come back down. They kept talking and I tried not to jump up and down and say "Come downstairs!" I said that I needed to change clothes before we go. They sat down and I grabbed a poster that your daddy made (yes, he is better at making that kinda of stuff than me). I will never forget their faces when they read the poster. As you can see in the video, my mama screamed and continue to do so the rest of the night. To be honest, I am not sure she has stopped screaming. Everytime I call she squeals as soon as she answers! My daddy's response was hilarious to me. He didn't not say a word. We all knew he would cry, so that was no surprise. However, my dad is never at a loss for words and this news was too much for him. He was stunned and excited and could not process it all! When he called an hour later, his words were back! He then had so much to say! SO FUNNY!

P.S. As soon as my parents figure out what they want to be called, those are the names I will use. So far the options are Bon and Bella or Dewey and Gabbe.
