Keeping Up With Old Friends

This past Saturday I was able to attend my friend Liz's wedding. I have been friends with Liz since high school, and we have been through a lot since then, to say the least. From surviving the IB program, to infiltrating pageants, to first (and second) tattoos, to plate parties at the Saucer...we have shared some pretty good moments. So of course I was so excited to get the invitation in the mail to share such important moment with her.

I do have to admit I was a little nervous because I knew I would go without knowing anyone there besides her family, but it turned out to be an intimate affair and I was really able to catch up with them. I also have to give Liz a number of kudos for the event. The ceremony was sweet and to the point. It opened with the sounds of a string quartet that sounded so lovely covering groups like Enya and Nine Inch Nails. (NIN's "Closer" to be specific...sweet.) This was all followed with wine, food and dancing, of course. She was absolutely gorgeous, and it was so great to see her. I only wish her and Chris the best on this new chapter in their lives.

I think I have to consider myself lucky to still have such good friends around. We may not always stay in touch as much as we should, but we have been there for each other. Plus, for once, it was not completely dreadful to sit through a wedding. I can only hope the one I have to go to in two weeks is just as good. -_^

Sidenote: I LOVE Moss Ave for a number of reasons. However, I have added a new one to this list. You have to love a house that you not only still have a key to after over a year of moving out, but that you can also go back to because you are pretty sure you still have stuff there...and you do. Plus, the people who live there now know you have a key and just tell you to show up whenever. Ha. I do not know what I will do when I do not know the people living there any more...
