June Milestones, plus a little May and July

June is a month of weddings. My grandparents, parents, and sister all got married in June. I, of course, had to be different and got married in May.  

My grandparents were married 63 years ago on June 13, 1948. They are still just as cute as they were on their wedding day.

Earthquake and Wedding

Firstly, for those of you with concerns, Morten and I are both fine. We did not experience the earthquake in China as we have been traveling in Thailand and Denmark for the last couple weeks.

Secondly, though it has been leaking slowly to my friends and family, I can now officially announce that Morten and I were married on May 5th in Denmark. We were both very happy to have my mom in attendance along with Morten's parents and sister. Pictures will come soon!

Seattle, September 15-17

I took a whirlwind trip to the states in mid-September for the wedding of my long-time friend Nikole and to see my family.

My lovely friend Morten drove me four hours to the airport in Incheon on Friday morning. I then flew through Tokyo to Seattle where Laurie Neary so kindly picked me up on Friday morning in my disoriented state to run me on errands. We later met Jen Baker at the library and went for lunch. Then Nikole and her husband-to-be Ken picked me up, and I passed out in their car while they ran wedding errands. Later that evening we girls went to have our nails done, we tried to do a pin-job on my dress that didn't fit, and I tried my best to stay awake through all of it.

We took my dress to an aunt to have it sewn early Saturday morning then went to the salon for hair-dos. Several hours later we were dressed and make-uped and ready for pictures. The wedding was actually at a little manor house in Marysville.The wedding was as beautiful as the weather that day, which just happened to be clear and sunny. I was happy to be able to make it to Nikole's special day, and I also got to see Janny, another friend of twenty years.
