It's a Holiday!

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

It is a holiday today. A day to remember the fallen soldiers. I am not into the holidays here. Not because I don't like it here, but because I don't know the history. Besides, I rarely get the time off. So it does not benefit me that much.

But today, I get the day off. A day of chores and relaxation. Maybe a little biking if the weather continues to be nice. I have been busy lately trying to help my parents figure out the documents they need for their immigration. They have so many questions about the process and I don't know the answer to all of them! Hopefully they're done before the end of the year. I would hate for them to come over during winter. It would be such a shock to their system! Summer would be perfect as they would slowly ease in to the cold winter months. Plus, fall is a really beautiful season, I'm sure they'd enjoy that! Something pleasant to look forward to before the long dreary months of winter kicks in. I'm excited for my parents.

I'm thinking though, that this move will be hard on Rick. Our dialect, food and the culture is different. I never really thought about that, but now that it's coming... I am beginning to worry. He gets along with them fine. But, that was short term. Just a visit. Now, my parents are coming to stay! I'm sure we will be alright. Besides, we can always use the camper if it gets too crowded in here. Wish us luck!

I'll really try my best to speak English at all times. (cross my fingers)
