A Phrase or Two #2 & Vila Margarida

Hello all!
Well well, time does fly. Especially when you're amidst a wonderful family reunion in sunny, sunny Portugal!


Let's hop back a little bit, however. I am a very family orientated person and since day one, P has accepted and loved this about me. He knows that my family are the most important people in the world, and he is now a part of that family. He has always been very close with my loved ones, and we all spend our time together whenever we can. P's family has been a different story though. His Mum and siblings live in the same town as us, so we get to see them fairly often, which is lovely. However, his Dad lives in Huntsville, Alabama; his Aunt & Uncle in Bogata, Colombia, and his Grandma in Scotland. So when Auntie Debs from Bogata arranged for us to all meet up for Grandma's 80th birthday in Portugal, it didn't seem all that far to travel.

Due to the distances between P and his family members, I had only ever met his Dad once, and that was back in the first two weeks of us dating. So it was safe to say I was a tad nervous about meeting a bunch of new people! However, as soon as we got out to the beautiful Vila Margarida in Praia da Luz, everyone instantly made me feel part of the family.
