Where did Summer go?


It looks like fall is right around the corner! I was driving through St. Paul yesterday and saw that some of the trees had already changed, wow, it feels like Summer never even really began and now it's over! That's the sad part about Minnesota that Summer ends here in the blink of an eye, but when it is here, it's amazing! There really isn't anything much better than Minnesota Summers, I guess they have to be pretty darn good for people to actually stick around here for the Winters.

This weekend seemed pretty long, I had 2 weddings on Saturday. They both went really well except for a minor incident at one of mine. I offered to help set out all their ceremony items while they were getting ready and taking pictures. It was an outdoor ceremony across Raspberry Island (where the boat club is), so everything had to be brought over there. Instead of doing a unity candle or sand, they were going to have a tree, and let me tell you, I envisioned a small tree, nope this was a giant life size tree you would plant in your front yard. Anyhow, guests were to write a wish or advice on a ribbon and tie it to a branch (It's something that peopel will do over in Japan and this bride had lived over there for a while). Anyways, the ribbons were in this really nice vase (really thick glass), and I set down the box that I had it on top and it slid right off of it and shattered into 50 pieces. It barely fell at all, but apparently it didn't need much to just shatter. So I improvised and found another jar. However, when I told the bride's mom she gasped and looked just horrified, so I felt just awful. I've come to the conclusion it was either very expensive or a family heirloom, please God let it just be the first one! So I'll have to write her a very long apology on Monday. I hate when things like that happen! Other than that, peice of cake that night was :)

Friday and Saturday nights I hung out with a few of my good friends, it was really nice because I felt like I hadn't really seen anyone in a while!

Today, my sister and I went shopping at the mall, and she either drugged me before we went or I just decided to be a very generous person, because I bought her a cover for her phone as well as an Adrian Peterson Jeresey (Viking's player), for us to share. Then we took Tucker to the dog park near my parents house and he had a blast, I on the other hand got eaten alive my mosquitos in the 20 min we were there. I think I have at least 15!
