Have you ever had out of town guests for more than a week? On February 7th, my husband and I received his parents into our home and they have to return home on Sunday the 24th. My new niece Gabriela was baptized on the 9th and everyone came for the celebration. We've had guests from Colombia, Guatemala and Los Angeles. As wonderful as family is, I laughed today when I realized that my husband called me at work today to just have a conversation. We put so much into being hospitable that I think we've lost sight of ourselves. This is my first blog entry since they arrived...the routine is officially shot!
I used to think it would be horrible to say anything less than perfect about family but I know now that since we're all family I can say I feel cramped if I feel cramped. I can long for the moment that my husband and I can lay on the couch and watch CNN for hours on end on a Saturday while he naps.
I adore my parents-in-law and they know I'm doing my best in conducting myself in Spanish. When I get home on Sunday after church, I will be thinking, speaking and even blinking in English...oh glorious day :)
