Brian & Laura's Wedding

My cousin Brian and his girlfriend of 4 years and change. The wedding was just like all outdoor weddings. Too much breeze, beautiful view of the Yakima Valley 'cause it was up on Scenic and the cake was Costco cheesecake. Willy Jamieson played in the band along with Ron from my church and Jeff Smith who student taught at WVHS our junior year with Mr. Rees. Yeah, Mr. Smith didn't really remember me. Oh well, his loss. The best parts were seeing Val and Barbie who came home for the wedding and planning our cousin Katie's bridal shower for October 8th. We decided that we're going to do American Idol type entertainment with three judges and of course the participants. As of right now Barbie, Val, Aunt Lucy and myself are the participants and possibly Julie if we can talk her into it. Aunt Nancy will be one of the judges-the slutty one. (I can't remember her name.) Anyway, that'll be fun! Oh and we voted on who's getting married next on my mom's side of the family. (We decided it's a toss up between Val and our cousin Molly. Val says she hasn't been asked and Molly said a forceful no. *shrug*)
Now I'm off to email Anna on the matter of Old Boy so talk to ya all later.

Accidental Discovery

Yesterday on the way home from work I bumped my keys once with my knee and once with my hand and the key slipped out of the ignition! Miracles of miracles, the car kept driving along the rest of the way home without the key. So apparently once I start the car it can drive without keys. Weird. I guess it's pretty handy in a way. *shrug*
Oh and I went to the eye doctor earlier this morning. I'm getting new glasses frames instead of new contacts. I like contacts but sadly they don't like my eyes. *sniff* When I have money to spend I think I'll get laser eye surgery. Maybe by that time it'll be cheaper. I can always hope.

I think this is funny so enjoy!
