'Tis the Season...

for visitors?

Rey & Judy came in this past weekend. Whirlwind trip. The only time I could see them was to drive out to Westmont for lunch after church. At Triple Crown, no less. I didn't even know there's a Triple Crown outside of Chinatown. It was VERY different. Anyway, finally got to meet the famous "cousin Dennis." Dimsum was good. They flew back that same evening.

In the next 2 weeks, I'm going to be bombarded w/ out-of-town visitors. I am very excited, but also very anxious at the same time. This weekend, mom and Bee are coming, for Mother's day. Bee and I are undecided about what to do with her. I feel tremendous pressure to entertain her. I don't even know why, I know she doesn't even care to be "entertained." She just wants to see us, I'm sure. But there's just a lot of anxiety to "disappoint" her, like not meeting her "expectations" for her trip. I mean, not with "activities" per se, but more like not enough "quality" time and conversations.

Next weekend, Bryan and his family (minus Mr. Wong) will be coming for like 5 days. Even MORE pressure there to show them a good time. I just don't want to be a bad host. I don't think any of them have ever been to Chicago? Also, I know that when they normally get together as a family, Mrs. Wong spends a lot of time in the kitchen cooking for everyone. (I think that's her love language.) But, hello, I don't have a kitchen!! What will we do? I just pray that it won't be too cold, otherwise, Bry will truly make up his mind about not liking Chicago this time. Ha.

Anyway, I'm still excited for everyone to come here and see a piece of my life as a Chicagoan. :) (Ooooo, this reminds me, Irene's in town again, I gotta see if she wants to come into the city for dinner sometimes soon.)

P.S. Happy Birthday Jason! Oh, how I wish I could be 23 again...
P.P.S. Happy be-lated Dan! I'm glad I'm not 37! :D
