Kam: I like to play matchmaker. If two people are right for each other, I hook them up. If things aren't working out, I can come in and help... ensure that things end peacefully.

I think my last post was from New York. Aie.
Obviously got home safe and sound and spent most of my time moving stuff back and forth between burnaby and vancouver.
..... a little update on my living situation....
My parent's bought a condo unit in a building that was just beginning construction years ago when I first got into school at UBC. It was supposed to be ready....a couple weeks ago. So, surprise, surprise, it's not and Courtney and I are living in her parent's house in Burnaby until it is (they say oct/nov...i think more like jan). It's not so bad considering it's a big comfy house and it would be vacant if we weren't going to be here, but I don't look forward to the commute. It would be really nice to move before the rains really hit. Also, moving from a 5 bedroom suburban mansion to a 500 sq foot condo might be a bit of a living space volume shock, but hey, the astronauts do it.
Right, so back in Vancouver, we were, for a couple of days. Mostly because our friends Cortney and Trish were getting married. I planned Cortney's bachelor party that took place on the friday and the wedding was on sunday. Both were fun although I can say I won't be planning another party like that again unless I have to. Trying to get a group of men coordinated and then pay you back for the festivities is a bit of a nightmare.
The wedding itself was awesome. Ceremony and reception was in Burnaby outside in the sunshine. Unfortunately there was a bluesfest going on in the park beside where the wedding was being held, which took away from the atmosphere a bit. Sometimes it's hard to really get into marriage when there is a sweet jam happening in the distance.
I should probably forward this one to them. They probably want it for the front page of their wedding album.
