(no subject)
Life recently has been pretty mundane. Its mainly consisted of work, church and video games intertwined with the weekly or twice-weekly movie night with Jeremy. All of the money I've earned since I started my new job has gone toward my bills, tithing and Kenya trip. Minus a movie ticket, dinner at Chile's and a night of watching my brother on stage in a mauve robe & gas mask whilst playing the bass in front of a gym full of high school students and middle class adults. Frankly I've spent my money on much better things, but, sometimes you gotta' repreZent fo' yo' family. Fo' sho'.
Jonna's wedding (5/6/2007) was nice. The last wedding I attended before it was her first wedding, back when I was seven. Apparently my brother and I were part of the wedding procession and didn't find out until we got there. We walked our Mema down the plastic grass paper (outdoor wedding) in front of a crowd of about fifty.
The wedding was held at Countryside Country Club. The reception was held in one of the upstairs rooms. The food was typical banquet food: looks a lot fancier than it tastes. There was an open bar, where I ordered the following:
Cranberry juice with lime.
Pepsi with lemon.
Pepsi.
Cranberry juice with Sierra Mist.
And tipped the following:
Jonna asked me to say a blessing before we ate (which the DJ forgot to announce) so I was called up to improv it in the middle of being served our Caesar salads. It was kinda' weird because there was a lady filming the event, and before I knew it there was a camera with a light and fifty people staring at me. But it went all right.
My Papa had one too many Martinis, which was a little unsettling, to say the least.
We got back to Mem's at about 6:30 and drove home in a torrential rainstorm. Luckily we had Dad's Elantra for the event.
I need to talk to Pastor Covic about getting some of the money for my Kenya trip deferred, since I don't have the full amount and no one but Ashley and Aunt Doreen & Uncle Mike sent anything to help (yet.) Getting decent hours has been tough, since the corporate office has been riding my boss about scheduling hours at work. She had to cut everyone back, which really isn't helping me much.
I trust in and ask that God would have His will be done in the whole situation.
It's been a while since I've written something.
That is all at this point.
