So now that I'm home with Melissa for the weekend, we wanted to share with our parents and family the good news. Wow... what an ordeal this has turned out to be.
We didn't want to make it obvious to either of our parents, so we were thinking of some nonchalant ways of suggesting that we skype. For Melissa's parents it's a bit easier, they're used to skyping with her/us on weekends, we'd just have to work around the 4 hour time difference and their work schedules. But I don't do it as often with my parents so I knew I'd have to be pretty casual about it. But how could I convince them to skype when I knew they'd both be home?
Well the texts started out well. But as the evening progressed, and my parents went out for their weekly date night I knew it'd get tougher. Around 9pm my time (10 their time) I sent:

"Why? Is Melissa pregnant?"DANGIT! I knew he'd guess it. It was too abnormal for me to attempt a video call at such a random time in the week. Well I couldn't just let him win... So I attempted to lead him to believe otherwise. But I'm still pretty sure he knew. He also guessed that I was going to propose to Melissa before I told them. He also usually guessed what he was getting for Christmas too. Those rascally Hamiltons!
