08.08.08

My friend Gerry found the love of his life and got hitched! On a day that was easy for him not to forget -- 08-08-08! Congratulations pal! I'm still feeling very guilty for not making it -- but you know why.

I knew about the wedding a year in advance. But somehow, when life throws unexpected events, some things got to give. I hate to renege on a promise, but this one was inevitable. So when I got the invite a few months before, I reluctantly returned the RSVP checking "Cannot attend".

I was thinking about the couple the entire time the Summer Olympics was on. And I was still feeling guilty for not being there around the time I was suffering from Michael Phelps withdrawal.

My love, wishes and prayers are with you Gerry & Donna. Maybe I'll see you guys in California (Sorry, I had to say the "maybe" since I didn't want two promises broken!).

But hey, Gerardo! You still owe me (yes, I have not forgotten!).

I have similar handbag that she has!

And yes, I also have the "goes with anything" floral skirt, which I've never worn.
