"laughter thru tears.... it's my favorite emotion" 

that's how i felt all day sunday. i really did try to blog the night before the wedding, but blogger was acting up. totally figures. oh well. but here we are, me and andy are finally married! it's nuts!

i'm just going to make this a short blog, but all the emotions i felt that day were so overwhelming and amazing. i can only hope other people feel that great the day they get married. thank you to everyone for coming and being supportive that day. i felt so loved it was so hard NOT to be crying all day. i hope everyone had a good time and enjoyed themselves and the food.

neng, crissy, and chakee, i know i can never say enough about how much i appreciated all of your help. andy was really expecting all of his groomsmen to pull through and rock, but he ended up a little disappointed. i was pleasantly surprised as i wasn't expecting THE WORLD, but you guys delivered. i could never have pulled that off without you and all the compliments we received were for you guys, too.

it was a good day. it was the best day. it was all i could ever ask for.

It tastes like warmed up vodka... do you really like that??? 

we had dinner at benihana's last night. andy and i love it there. people are starting to come in for the wedding and it's so fun! you feel blessed when you see the people that have traveled to come share a day with you. anyway, andy's friends, rob and heather, came into town yesterday. then, on saturday, my friend kate and her mom, came in. we had dinner with all of them last night and it was so fun. i ordered 2 sakes and they were good. have you ever had hot sake? it's a trip, that's for sure. it's just weird drinking hot alcohol. everyone got a sip and nobody liked it. oh well... it's weird cause it doesn't feel like it's getting you drunk, but i know that after the first one i had a serious buzz. heather actually asked me after she sipped it "you really like how it tastes?" it was funny cause she totally thought i was a freak. well, whatever.

so, tonight is my coworker, mike's last night. we're having a going away party for him at my boss' house. that's going to limit stuff i can get done tonight, but oh well.

i'm gonna leave work for lunch now. it's not really going to be lunch, i'm gonna be running errands.

FIVE DAYS, MAN.... FIVE DAYS.

Moisha 

i have funny coworkers. its fun when you are surrounded by funny people all the time. my coworkers, my family, my friends... it makes life easy... well, maybe not so much easy, but at least tolerable. anyway, one of my coworkers speaks russian. and when he talks to his parents on the phone, he speaks russian. and my other coworker thought that every time he got off the phone he would say "moisha." so she thought that to mean "bye" so now that's our word for "bye." we think it's funny.
