My brother is married! The idea is still very strange to me, as he is my younger brother and somewhere in my mind I still see him as a gangly 14-year-old. Actually, he's 26. And the newest member of our family is his lovely wife Shannon - who really did look radiant on Saturday. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid and singing in the wedding, and in spite of a cold, it actually went okay. Hoorah!
We left for Denver on Thursday and came back last night. Since our move to the United States, we've spent more time in Denver than we have in New York. This amuses me in some small way. Of course it won't hold true for very long, but still.
It was a very fun wedding. There was lots of drinking and dancing and the food was delicious and the company was wonderful. It was excellent.
Now that we're back, there's much to do. I need a mobile phone. Bigtime. So that's first on the agenda today. I need to make sure it's a GSM phone, which rules out Verizon, which people keep telling me is great for coverage in NYC. I'm thinking T-Mobile or Cingular. I still need to do a little research as to which is better. Everyone I talk to has some sort of opinion, of course, and (solicited or unsolicited) I've heard it all.
I also need to go pick up our bank cards from the bank. We have an account already set up here, although I don't think there's anything in it yet, and we have no way of accessing the money. So, yeah. That's next.
I also have a million other things to do. But, y'know, I'll figure that out as I get there.
