I just got back from three weeks of vacation in America. I thought I would be really jet-lagged today, but I’m holding up better than I expected. We left Seattle at about 7pm on Monday, and finally arrive at our apartment around 8:30pm on Tuesday. Anyway I slept through the night and wasn’t too exhausted when my alarm went off this morning. I went to work and told myself that I would go home early if I start to crash. But it’s 2pm and I think I might be able to make it till 5.
We had a great time on vacation. We spent about 2 weeks in Spokane, where we did a lot of wedding planning. We accomplished the following: ordered wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses, bought veil and shoes (including bridesmaid shoes,) bought wedding rings, bought tuxedos for P and both dads, bought vests for all ushers, chose wedding colors, bought all supplies for invitations, save the date, thank you cards, etc. We also confirmed the date with the priest, and P finally asked his friends to be ushers. So things are moving forward! BTW, the official date is now June 23rd (Midsummer!)
New Year’s Eve we headed up to Priest Lake, Idaho, where my brother’s friend has a lake cabin. There was about 10 of us at the cabin including my brother and his wife. We were really up in the mountains, in the middle of no-where Idaho! However, there was a bar open nearby and we decided to head there to ring in the New Year. There was a live band at the bar, which was headed by a Bob Marley look-alike. They played reggae all night (mostly Marley covers.) A good time was had by all, although I was a bit disappointed by the lack of count-down leading up to midnight. I was also disappointed when the band only played Old Langsyne for about 10 seconds before switching back to reggae. I was even more disappointed a couple of hours later when I realized that I had had a few too many drinks…
After Spokane we headed to Seattle where we rented a car and drove both down to Centralia to see P’s relatives, and up to Bellingham where we visited our old university. We also spent a lot of time with my friends in Seattle. Good times! (But the traffic there is horrible!!!)
Happy New Year!
