Last week we had a friend move in with us for a few weeks. She is finishing up a job and didn't want to renew her lease. We have loved having Emily here. The only confusion seems to be whether we treat her like a guest or like family. At first she was a guest but after a few days she was a friend. What's the difference? At first I hated to go in and get something out of my bedroom when she was here. She is staying in my room. A few days after she was here I would go in when she was sleeping and getting ready for work. Now she is family. The kids go in to talk to her, I go in anytime. I wonder if she would rather be considered a guest again.
We love having Emily here. Kortney loves to sit and talk with her. She, after all, is an adult that is not mom. They talk about fashion, boys, and music. You know all the important things. The older boys love having her here. She took them to opening day of Spiderman 3, they went to the 12:20 am showing, no thanks. I enjoy the company, but more than that, she cooks!!!!!
Wendy was right, you can't choose your family but you definately can choose your friends, and if your lucky they become your family too.
