the family

I'm staying with a woman named Sabah (the "h" at the end is voiced, but there's no way to transliterated that because it's distinct from ch/kh). We live in an apartment on the bottom floor of a big house. Her daughter Mijat and son-in-law Abed live in the apartment next door on the same floor. Her sister, Bashira, and family live on the main floor (upstairs), and that's where Amber is staying. Bashira is married, but I haven't met her husband yet. Her daughter (my cousin) Muna lives on the third floor. I also met Sabah's other daughter, Lama, but I'm sort of unclear on how much she's around and where she is staying. All three girls are in their 20s, I believe. Noticeably older than me, but not too much older. That's all I've met of the family so far, but I'm sure I'll meet more later.

Seriously, though, are they not in the best living situation ever? They have not only their own space, but their own domains. And they can be together whenever they want to. Can you imagine if Marley and I had separate apartments for our families in the same house??? What if Mom and Dad had they own apartment, and then Marley and Ben and I had floors/apartments for our families in the same house??? OMG. Best. House. Ever.

Seriously, you know you'd be jealous. My family is awesome.
