Wow, lots to write about in this update.
Numero Uno:
Marty and Molli got married on May 19th! I'm super happy for these two. Marty is one of my best friends and Molli is a great girl that I'm also quite fond of. Marty was the best man at my wedding and I was able to pay him back by taking up that same torch for him at his wedding. I was afraid that I would lose the ring, but I managed to keep up with it via frequent pocket checks and nervous glances. The wedding was beautiful, as weddings of good friends tend to be. There was a tree full of bells that guests would take, and when they walked out the bells were all rung together. It was pretty nifty to hear about a hundred bells all ringing together. Me and the other groomsmen all decorated Marty's car for him, happily placing on the glass such phrases as:
"Watch out for the FPB!". I learned after it was written that it stood for "First Pump Baby", which I thought was pretty classy. ^_^ They went honeymooning in Disney World. It was Marty's first time there, and of course he loved it. I miss Orlando, perhaps next summer I have to plan a trip.
Numero Dos:
After we got Marty and Molli all married off and on their way to Orlando the wife, some friends, and I loaded up and started driving to Gulf Shores, AL. We rented a house for a week down there a little bit outside town and went down for a little rest and relaxation. It was a most welcome experience. I had been stressed out from work for the last month or so and really needed to get away. My sister and her boyfriend came too, although they stayed in a condo rather than with us in the house due to a lack of space, which I'm sure was fine with them. We spent all week just chillaxing, and it was great. This is a typical day:
-Wake Up whenever I felt like it
-Eat breakfast (usually consisting of Eggo waffles or bacon and eggs depending on how energetic i felt)
-Fiddle on the laptop for a while
-Go to either the beach or the pool
-Come back and eat lunch (usually a sandwich and a tomato or maybe ramen)
-More laptop
-more beach or pool, maybe a movie
-Come back and take a shower
-Go eat dinner
-Watch tv
-Smoke a cigar on the deck with Chad
-Go to bed
It was happy times indeed. We watched the season finales of Lost and Heroes on Monday and Wednesday. On Thursday we went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean III at a "pirate party" that a local movie theater was having. That was a lot of fun, they had a costume contest, free punch and pizza, and a raffle. I entered the raffle and won a backpack stuffed full of "The Last Mimzy" merchandise. On top of all that the movie was in my opinion the best movie I've seen all year. I won't go into detail to avoid any spoilers but dang was it good. The climax was just insane. If you go see it don't forget to stay for the credits, there's a fairly significant scene that plays after them.
I was gonna do a numero tres here, but it concerns the season finales of Lost and Heroes and would therefore contain spoilers. I think I'll do a new entry for them.
