counting all the hands i shook

tim and elly's wedding was this past saturday, and it went great. the ceremony wasn't too long, i didn't lose the rings (and avoided the temptation to do a smeagol impression in the middle of church), and the reception was a lot of fun. my toast at the reception went a lot better than i expected too. one of the best parts of the reception was when elly was tossing the bouqet: first she tossed it up so high that it went up into this indent in the ceiling where some lights were and there was no way to get it down. then, she threw a backup bouqet and it went over everyone's head and landed right in the lap of shocked band member. but she was single, so it worked out okay. and i lost count of the number of times someone made a comment about my wedding in the future. one at a time, people. in case you forgot, i'm still just twenty and in college. anyway, the happy couple flew back to new brunswick yesterday, and should be on their way to maine as i write this.

it was really good to see all the family that i haven't seen in forever. i got to see grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins that i haven't seen in awhile, so that was a lot of fun. the best was meeting my three year old twin boy cousins, paul and michael. they're absolutely crazy. i can't remember the last time i've gotten so much excercise as i did playing with them over the weekend. but it's always fun to have someone smaller than me (besides christy and my mom) around to beat up on.

i sent out emails at work today to try and find people that can switch hours and take over my thursdays so that i can take tuesday-thursday classes. of course, if i get my scheduled straightened out the way i want it, will there even be classes open for me to take?

so i just took a call from shelbyville, illinois. does that serve to answer the longstanding mystery as to where exactly the springfield from the simpsons is located? will we ever know?!?
