You know you're getting older when you hang out with high school friends and the topic the entire time is wedding planning. karen's ring is... shiny... and big... to say the least. :) For some reason, I've been to and coordinated and been involved in a billion more weddings than my other friends my age. I'm suddenly the "wedding expert." go figure.

We had good times reminiscing about things too, like Vallco. Whatever happened to that mall? The whole place is deserted now. I remember way back when it used to be the happening place. Now all it consists of is Fresh Choice, Todai, and the ice skating rink. karen told us that some chinese restuarant is buying a big chunk of space... supposedly can hold 1000 people. 1000 people?! That's like, the entire mall! Wow, they'd better get pretty good business. Can you imagine? Even if like 100 ppl show up at a given time, that's only 10% capacity. Who knows, this whole thing could be a rumor so we'll see.
