saturday was M & J's wedding. she's the 4th of our group of 5 from high school to be wed. so i'm the last one left... the weather couldn't have been more on our side. it was just gorgeous on treasure island! if anyone out there is looking for a wedding venue, and they are looking for city views, definitely check out casa de la vista on treasure island! it's a great spot! i've posted pics of the views to the right. --->

anyways, this was my first time as a bridesmaid, and it was a fun experience, mainly cuz of the company i was in. my friends from high school and i have all gone on to do very different things. L is in japan, teaching english, after receiving her masters in english comp hoping to teach english at a jr. college (who flew back from japan for the wedding!). Y moved to seattle to be closer to A, and they married (the 1st one of us) and moved to richland, wa and bought a house, starting a family soon. M is getting her PhD from UCSF, doing something in the bio field...never was quite sure what. J moved to LA to be with B, got her MPH from USC, and is now working to improve our public health system. me, well, i'm still trying to figure out what the heck i'm doing. :) but i'm happy, so i'm not worried. yet, even with our moving away and onward, we still managed to keep in touch after high school, mostly thru emails and occasional phone calls. and during the holidays, when everyone is visiting family, still in the same general area that we all grew up in, we get a chance to see each other, if even just for a quick breakfast. it's nice, to have ppl around like that. so this was a great weekend for us, the first time we were all together, part of one of OUR wedding days. but for me, it was also an interesting learning experience, being that this was the first wedding i've ever been apart of. and this was also the first time i've EVER seen a groomzilla. the bride was calm and radiant and laughing and having fun. the groom was stressing more than i've ever seen a guy stress, especially over a WEDDING! and trust me, i've worked with numerous brides and grooms, and this was truly a first! and don't even get me started on the demandingly-blunt-to-the-point-of-rudeness photographer...

so my weekend was filled with wedding prep, then wedding, then wedding recovery. hahaha... and now, back to work, for more wedding prep, wedding, and wedding recovery... =P
