Got back yesterday from a *wonderful* weekend in St. Joseph, MI, for my friends Kathy & Matt's wedding. They had a very nice Jewish + Catholic ceremony outdoors in a bandshell along the St. Joseph River, followed by an elegant and festive reception at the heritage center in town. I sat with some of my current and former co-workers and had a great time chatting and dancing. The following day, Kathy and Matt held a bbq at Silver Beach along Lake Michigan... lovely scenery, great weather, and yummy food. All in all it was a very fun weekend. Also, I was very happy with the shots I was able to get with my new camera. Here are a few photos from the event:

I took the day off work today to "recover" :) ... yay for three-day weekends! I've done a bit of cleaning around the house so far today, and I'll probably head out this afternoon to get my car washed and maybe run some other errands. I should try to hit the gym some time today too.

This week I plan to register for fall classes at DePaul. Actually I think I will take just one class in the fall quarter. I'm planning to take an Econ course that I hear is pretty challenging. It's been nice having a bit of a break from classes. Just about one more month left before school starts up again! I'm sure it will fly by.

I feel so old!

I was in Bloomington, IN from Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon, celebrating Lori's 21st birthday. I drove down with Mark, and met up there with Greg, Rhoda, and Jerry. Some of Lori's friends also joined in the festivities. We started out at a local deli/sports bar for dinner, then went to two bars and a club (where we saw Mike & Joe play a set). It was a fun time, although I felt my age when I started getting tired around midnight and realized we had a couple hours of partying left. :) Anyway, it was great to hang out with the gang, and we have some fun stories to re-tell and memories to look back on. ;)
