Changed da house,
Changed da look.
BTW, my bathrobe's usually pink
and we don't have a fireplace.
Other than that,
it's pretty accurate...

~ Sound the trumpets ~
As soon as we called Tony's parents and alerted them to our *situation*, Tony's dad pretty much cleared his office work (imagine huge sweep of arm across office desk) and as of Thursday, both he and his wife will be DRIVING down from Brisbane to Canberra. We should expect them to arrive either late Thursday night or early Friday morning.
The concept of In-Laws in my life is still relatively new to me, so I'm kinda awe-struck by the no-questions-asked, consider-it-done kind of response that can only be described as Familiar.
Yes I know that they are his parents, and they will respond in the same way my own madcap family will respond when I ask for help. And of course I know they want to be involved, and we've been looking for the right time and space for their support to be of great use (no point getting them to come down when things haven't gathered momentum yet). It's just that occasionally, something happens and I sit back and think, "Whoa! I've got another family now!" And it especially blows my mind that I now have someone active in my life to call Dad.
It's a huge relief knowing there's extra hands on deck that have the same passion and determination in making things work the way we want things to work. I'm also really thankful for family in Singapore that are as determined and passionate because I don't even have to think about the reception in March, at this juncture.
That just frees up my time to do other fun stuff. Like full-on Health Examinations for Immigration, replete with HIV test. Oh joy.
