On April 1, Miran's sister Azra is FINALLY coming to live with us and study here in Charlotte. She got her student visa from the US Embassy in Sarajevo last week and we bought her plane ticket today, so its official. We can hardly believe it. We've been talking about this and planning this for 5 years its hard to believe she'll be here in less than 5 weeks. We can't wait and are very excited about having her here.
Of course its also a little bittersweet because we all feel bad and worried about Miran's mom being "home alone." Fortunately she's been doing really well for quite a while now, good enough that Azra (and we) feel its ok for Azra to come, but she and Azra will really miss each other. We'll work on getting Milada here next. Azra is also quite sad about leaving her longtime boyfriend Almin, but I'm sure they'll be on skype every night!
We've been working on a room for Azra slowly for awhile now, but now we have to finish it up. Miran built a headboard and I upholstered it, and Azra and I exchanged a few emails images to pick out the bedding.
She also picked out the yellow paint color. We still need to get her a desk and a dresser (and clean a bunch of our junk out of her closet). On Sunday Miran and Dad will work on her bathroom - we bought a new medicine cabinet and light fixture three months ago but still haven't installed them. We also need to replace the sink and vanity, but that will have to happen later.
You nearly gave me a heart attack! But this is good news, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, you really got our hopes up there with your title! But it will be so nice to have Azra here, and her room is very cute!
