His family has been great and I see where Fred gets his personality and looks from. Fred and his family are Florida natives. They moved here when Fred was in middle school. So I've only met one cousin and his older sister Val, who lives in Florida. I'm hoping I'll be able to make a trip down to Florida with Fred and meet the rest of his family one day...and maybe catch some rays on the pretty Miami beach.
This past weekend with the Duquette's was particularly fun, because they took me golfing. Fred and his dad are big golfers. His dad is always watching the golf channel, and when the weather is nice he's always on the links. Besides the golf class I took at Bridgewater, I have no experience whatsoever. Even though Fred's taken me to the driving range a couple of times....I was not prepared for the 18 holes we played Saturday morning. His dad had set a tee-time for 10:04 AM Saturday morning. I dressed in my preppy golf gear and was ready to impress everyone with my Tiger Woods skills, but that turned out not to be the case. After I could barely hit the ball on the first hole, I could tell Fred was getting mad. I forgot how competitive Fred is when it comes to sports, games, or ANYTHING. After the first 10min Fred had me so flustered and worked up I didn't even want to play anymore. I'd rather hear him laughing with me or telling me, "keep trying babe." But then finally ...I started to be able to hit the ball and he lightened up. After that the rest of the day was smooth sailing. I had a blast spending the day golfing with Fred and his parents. I love trying something new, and doing something active like that with my boyfriend. After 4 hours of golf (who knew it took 4 hours to play 18 holes) we swung by GLORY DAYS for some wings and beer. Perfect ending to the perfect day.
The rest of the weekend was followed by dinner with his parents, a lazy day on Sunday, cleaning his car, dinner date, and snuggling. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I'm glad I got to try something new with Fred and his family.
