Hi all. Welll life has been very interesting around these parts recently. Sometimes good, sometimes less than that. Let me see here. Last weekend I went home and went to the wedding shower of one of my best friends from middle school. So that was weird. She seems extremely happy though, I have never seen her like this. So that's positive. After that Tim came up and then Sunday he and I and my parents went to Crivitz to the lovely Left Foot Lake for a few days of r&r. And the rest was ensured since I was stung by a bee right before we left on my foot. That was not so neat, but I had a lot of fun at the lake. We went on a canoe escapade, made some good food, watched some pretty awful movies, and one good one, and just read and relaxed. I came home and read an email from my Sara. It turns out she's getting MARRIED this month. Yep. One of my best friends on this earth is engaged and getting married this month. In Italy. And I won't be there. Granted she's having a "real" wedding next year in which I will be in attendance, but still. The realization that she's getting married blows my mind. Plus my friend Nate got married last weekend. What??
On to the not so good part of the week. I also got a message last night that my friend was killed in Iraq last week. Luckily, Andrea was visiting last weekend so she was here last night (she graciously skipped out of class this morning so I could cry to her last night) which made a world of difference. I dont' know what I would have done if she hadn't been here. So that is probably one of the most depressing things ever. He is my first friend to die, and though we were not best friends, it's definetly been hard to fathom.
So we'll see. I might be taking some days off of work this week and going to Fond du Lac on Wednesday for the wake and the funeral and whatnot. Otherwise I won't be. I guess those are the two options. Tim and I have a date in Osseo tomorrow night, so that will be good. Some things need to be discussed.
Well, much love to all of you. Goodnight.
