Family ties

It's 11pm and we're winding down another busy day.  My family will be arriving in about 14 hours and we have been busy the past few days to get things in place.  My mum is strict about cleanliness and tidiness so I have to make sure I meet her standard.  I don't want her to have too many things to say about the state of our apartment.  She even has commented on my balcony when I showed it to her as we were chatting on Face Time.  She said she will help me re-arrange the things there to make it look better.  And there I was, proudly showing her what I thought was a neat and tidy space.

We were busy too as we were getting things ready for our wedding on Saturday.  We have had our ceremony back home last March.  Pete's family couldn't join us so this time, we're having a simple lunch to celebrate our marriage with his family and friends here.

Between the event and visitors from home, we have been busy, busy, busy.  We still have more cleaning to do and I will cook shepherd's pie so that my family will be able to have some for lunch when they arrive.  For now, we need to rest and sleep.  I can forsee a long and hectic week ahead, but I am sure it will be fun.  I miss my family and I am so glad that they have made this trip to visit me.  I can't wait to see them!
