Wedding and Rainbows

We spent the weekend in Minneapolis at a wedding, where 文大猊 was the Best man in a wedding. I decided to pick up River Town again, and I read it while he performed his duties. I also hung out with his friends, esp. those weren't in the wedding party. 文大猊, being in the wedding party, was supposed to ride in the stretch Hummer to a park to take pictures after the ceremony. We took a cab to the wedding, and then I rode with them in the Hummer. There was a "gathering" of sorts at the park, with pimped rides, hip-hop music, and guys who looked like they might beat us up. It all turned out ok, though.

From the wedding and pictures, we arrived at the reception. Highlights included 文大猊's speech, little cakes for centerpieces, and amusing ourselves and other guests by trying to learn the Electric Slide on the spot.

While driving from the rehearsal to the hotel on Friday, we saw a full double rainbow.



On Sunday, we headed back, after some stops at Trader Joe's and IKEA, which are luxuries we can't enjoy in SD.

We moved

I moved on Friday and Saturday. 文大猊 came over and helped clean like a maniac. The old apartment is completely clean and beautiful, which leaves me wishing I had cleaned more often when I lived there, so I could've enjoyed it myself. The new apartment is cute, but tiny. I took a picture of the kitchen. There is a 2-ft. cupboard to the left and the fridge to the right, but this is basically what I've got. I put in some helpful labels. It was while we were trying to make some breakfast.


The bathroom is equally miniaturized, so, for now, I have my toothbrush in the kitchen. We were making bagel sandwiches and veggie bacon.

The birds are doing well in the new place. I think they are a little weirded out because I arranged it like the old place, but it's a little smaller and the kitchen and bathroom are in different places.
