A pleasant surprise

It was a nice sunny day today so we were out the whole afternoon.  When we got home, a pleasant surprise was waiting for me.  The mailman left a postcard for me from a very dear friend of mine.  The best part was in the card.  He is going to visit me very soon, next Friday, in fact.

I am so excited and can't wait for next week to come.  My family will be arriving here next Wednesday.  That includes my parents, sister, cousin and aunt.  The next day, another cousin will arrive.  After that, another sister and this friend of mine will be arriving on the same day. 

For now, we're busy arranging for transport to fetch them from the airport and their accomodations.  We are also planning the itinerary for my family.  Not only that, since there's quite a lot of people visiting us, we have to think about transport since they all cannot fit into one car.  Most likely, we'll have to take the bus.  I  plan to bring them all over Malmo.  There are a number of parks I would like to show them.  There are also a few squares around town that I would like to bring them to as well.

It's been more than a month since I last saw them.  I know it's not that long ago, but I am going to treasure every single minute I have with them.  We plan to go back home every year to visit my family, but it will depend on our situation after a year, of course.  With us embarking on a new business in the near future, I am not sure if that plan is possible.  We'll just have to see how that works out.

But I am not going to worry about that as yet.  For now, I am going to be busy getting the apartment in order.  Knowing my mum, she's going to be expecting a clean and clutter-free home, so I'll be up to my elbows in warm soapy water from now till next week.
