Reno 911!

So I just turned on the TV waiting for The Daily Show to come on, and none other than Reno 911 was on. Now, this was not a show that I was even acquainted with until Vanessa's untwisting party last summer. It is a pretty horrible show, but it is mildly and mindlessly hilarious.

I just spent my week off in Corolla, quite possibly my most favorite place on the planet. Now I haven't exactly traveled far and wide to come to this conclusion, but I feel the most like my self and the least stressed out when I am there. And for that, nothing else will quite touch it. My sister is getting married there in September, and that is a great excuse for me to skip class for a week and go hang out some more. And James will actually be making his first appearance

Oh by the way, The Daily Show doesn't come on on Sunday nights. I don't know what I was thinking... except for the fact that I had to work today because Duke doesn't like Jesus, and I've been confused all day.

Anyway, James is coming to the beach with me for the first time, and I could not be more pumped. He will also be meeting my extended family (my dad has 5 brothers and sisters... making me have 15ish cousins, some of them are married with children, etc), which will be interesting to say the least.

I think weddings are pretty incredible things. Everything surrounding the event is just such an amazing way to celebrate the relationship that is about to be bonded and committed. I just think of all of the great things we have been and will be doing to get ready for Carrie's wedding, and what that day will hold in itself... giving everyone who loves Carrie and Jacob a chance to express that and support them in this major milestone of life.

And just because this can't all be a happy post, I'll just throw this in... Carrie and Jacob have been so excited over the past few months. Witnessing their relationship grow over the past few years and eeing them together makes me realize more about how important the ability to marry really is. Reading headlines about all of the gay marriage, civil unions, etc court cases over the past few days has really made me wonder how and why the government would want to attempt to regulate and restrict something as powerful as love.
