House Guest

We have had a house guest (my brother-in-law from Mexico) for about two weeks and early tomorrow morning he will be leaving. He was suppose to be staying, I thought, for a few months; he is taking off a semester from college. At first I wasn't sure how it would work out....Living in a small house and an added person..but it has been okay. I was kind of surprised that he would want to stay with us seeing as we didn't have an extra room I told my husband if wanted to sleep on the couch then it was fine with me (after all my brother always sleeps there when he is here with no complaints). I am very sure that my girls will be missing him very soon. They get attached so easily. I hope he has a safe trip home.
