As many of you know- my in-laws have been visiting Paulius and me for the past week and a half.
They will be leaving us to return to jolly old England on Friday morning and I am NOT looking forward to it.
This visit has exceeded all my wildest expectations.
At best I was hoping for a civil two weeks of timid "getting to know each other" time with the parents.
What actually happened was being accepted as a part of the family from the first moments we met. Hugs at the airport, long chats over breakfast and late night coffees, laughs and lots of merriment during shopping trips to various places.
I didn't take any time off from work other than my regular days off on the weekends for their visit- something I have regretted terribly, but it was unavoidable since my earned vacation time doesn't start until after the last week of June. Next time they visit I will take a whole two weeks off from work and we will do some traveling as well.
My in-laws are my friends- and I would daresay close friends.
I know I will end up crying when we see them off Friday. I wish they didn't have to go so soon.

Ahhh... don't you love it when things work like that?
I'm so happy things worked out so well, Girl. I just miss my Sis and look forward to when you have time to chat again!
Hugs,

I can't believe you used the word "jolly." All expectations of your merit have been erased. I'm very disappointed in you.
(hint: wait until Christmas!)
And a jolly good time was had by all!
I think it's wonderful you had this opportunity to get together and to become friends.
Much love to you and Paulius.

Obviously Casey doesn't know you very well. Permit me to enlighten your blog audience:
Sunny would celebrate Christmas every single day if Paulius would allow all the Christmas trappings in their living room 365 days straight.
That's one of the things that endears you to those of us who know you in "real life," Sunny! Right, Topcat?
Hugs,

Thank you Lois!
Yes- I said JOLLY and it was NOT related to anything Christmas....I wish I had thought of it tho.
Speaking of Christmas- it's almost time to start my holiday shopping so I can be finished by the time everyone else is starting and then I can sit back and LAUGH at them.
Hahahahahahahahahah!!
