The 7th Sign Of The Apocalypse

(Brad and Kari on the first day of the rest of their lives togther.)

Congratulations to Brad and Kari who got engaged on Sunday! For the rest of us, I'm sorry. The world is clearly coming to an end. If you had told any LHS graduate in '97 that Brad would be one of the first to get married from our group of friends we would all have agreed that it would be a sign of the Apocalypse. However, Brad is officially engaged...to a girl...and a fantastic girl.

For those of you who read my blog and don't know Brad, he's one of my oldest and best friends. I basically taught him everything in life except how to have a committed relationship. He clearly learned that from someone else. And, I guess he taught himself school stuff too since he's always been exponentially smarter than me. Actually perhaps the only thing I ever taught him was how to use the internet....although I learned how to use the internet on his computer while I used to house sit his cats (also where I learned to despise cats...which Brad loves. Shoot, I haven't taught Brad anything).

Anyway, If you're wondering how this relates to my travel blog, well, I guess it means I'll officially be coming home at some point now since I have to go to the wedding. I'm pretty certain my parents are bribing Brad to have the wedding as soon as possible...

What? Your very first neice isn't enough of a reason to come home? Congratulations Brad! I like cats too.

Glad he's making her an honest woman! August, you and I will need to have a bet who gets married first/last. Huyen gives you the better odds...until she sees the rash/fungus.

Thanks Benjamin -- I don't think the reality of it set in until I saw it in print. Ahoy Hanoi is the like the NY Times of blogs, so I'm honored to have a wedding annoucement.
