Okay, I was invited to my friend Holly's wedding. Naturally I said "yes". But little did I know that I would also be "helping" with the wedding. So little old me and a few close others are decorating, cooking, and tending bar for the wedding :-) Which is fine with me, cause now I get free food and booze for the whole week. At least I'm on the Outer Banks, so hoping we'll have some fun along the way.

I was tagging along for my girlfriend's sister's wedding. Such an odd sight...35 pale Irish Americans and little old me. The sole tan asian in the group, who happens to have a German last name. The place was AMAZING!!!!!!! Talk about falling in love with a place...I didn't want to come back.

I have an almost mystic love of the Southwest. My father lives out in Gilbert with his wife. So much history and beauty and culture. I wish I could get out there more often. One of these days, I will settle out there like I promised myself years ago.

Did a trip to Colorado with Maureen's family. Very much like the Ireland trip, we covered as much of the state as possible.
