MARRIED!

No.. not me... but wouldn't that be a shocker!

No, my friend Erin and her then-boyfriend now-husband Etienne got married! Erin studied abroad here at Keio two years ago. So did Etienne. He is from Canada. My sentences are so simple. They've become that way because I can no longer function in English. ha... ha... ha.......... (~.~)

ANYWAY, Etienne has a job working as a diplomat for the Canadian government in Tokyo. He will be moving here in May.. I think... Erin is currently a JET program participant, and she is working in Hokkaido.. and hates it apparantly. Anyway, she quit her job and will be moving to Tokyo also in like June or July. It was so great to finally meet Etienne after hearing so much about him. And it was so cute to see them together as newlyweds.. They were so in love and glowing. It was awesome!

Anyway, we kind of had a Madison reuinon with them, Sarah, Keita, and me. We all went out for a nice dinner and then went to karaoke. I actually tried to drink wine.. and managed to finish a whole glass!!! Etienne is big on wine... ol' French Candian self... so he and Erin bought our table a bottle of red and white. I've decided that I like red better than white.. but I still don't really like any of them. Sorry Sharon :-P

So it was fun night of friends, reminiscing about good ol' times when Sarah, Keita, Erin, and I were back in Madison... and filling Etienne in on all of our inside jokes. I had a great time. Oh.. and I think I'm getting a cold again.. but then again.. what's new?
