I visited my fiancées parent’s home for the first time this Friday. It was an experience. I had met her parents before. They had visited my place and we had gone out for dinner many times. My fiancée had just never invited me over to her parent’s actual home before. It was full of baseball memorabilia. I knew they were in to sports, baseball in particular. It is one of the things that brought my fiancée and I together. I had not realized how into baseball they were.

The entire house had baseball memorabilia throughout. I loved it. I am into baseball as well. I have always found my fiancée’s parent’s interesting and enjoyed our conversations in the past. Now I feel we will always have something in common besides our love of their daughter. It also reassures me that my fiancée is going to be accepting of my baseball memorabilia collection. It is not going to be restricted to the basement or garage the way some of my friends’ collections have been when they got married. I am starting to think that it is going to be more our baseball collection than my collection.  We are going to be building a collection together.
