Big News Weekend
Last night, as Victor and I were on our way from the Chinese restaurant to the Magnolia to see Junebug, we got a call from Mark. He and Kat are engaged! I'm so excited for him. He also told me that another of our friends, Nisha, got engaged too. Add in us and Kurt and Meredith, and that is now four couples in our group who have gotten engaged in the last year. I guess Victor really started a trend. He says that all the girls have him to thank!
I guess we are all growing up. I mean, we're in our late 20s and early 30s, so I suppose it's time. Other friends of mine from college and high school have been married for several years, but the Austin group of friends seemed to be holding on to bachelorhood/bachelorettehood as long as they could. Sure, there are still people who haven't gotten engaged yet or who are still playing the field. But for such a large number of us to have taken the plunge is pretty crazy.
Our wedding plans are going ok, finally. After weeks of hunting, I finally found shoes for the big day. They're comfy, not ugly (I can't stand wedding shoes), and I can wear them again after the wedding! Plus they were on sale.
Tonight we are going to Smith and Wollensky for their Pay Your Age dinner, in which you get a three-course dinner for your age. For example, I would pay $28, Victor would pay $29, and Phyllis Diller would pay $128. Considering that their entrees alone cost more than my age, it's a really good deal. I'm planning on bringing home the desert and freezing it so that it doesn't put back on the couple of pounds that I lost this week.
