A Wedding and an Anti-Wedding

Since I last posted, Felicia got married and I went to Texas, and I also got a job.

I’ve been busy. Heh.

Felicia looked beautiful in her dress (that I stored) and a lovely time was had by all. Here’s some pictures.

The venue: the pavilion at the Hacienda de las Flores in Moraga, CA.
Malvina, Felicia and I before the wedding. I'm glad we made Felicia take these pictures because there wasn't much time to talk to her at the reception.

The wedding cake! It was tasty; no fondant.

So, we left the wedding at nine because Malvina had a day of dance shows on Saturday, and I was (perhaps stupidly) taking a 6 a.m. flight to San Antonio.

My friend Tara had originally been planning to get married the 31st, and I had been planning on going, but there was a rather horrible breakup back in May. A couple of weeks ago, she decided to have a “Let’s Celebrate The Fact That I Didn’t Marry That Douchebag” event on the day of what would have been her wedding at the location of the reception. And I wanted to go to it to support her, so I wound up flying out on Saturday for that night. I rented a car and stayed at our friend Margie’s apartment. We had a good time at the bar and were out until all hours.

On Sunday, after waking up at noon, I headed over to Fire Wok at Huebner Oaks to have lunch with Daphne. It was SO awesome to see Daphne again; when I last visited Texas she was away at grad school in Arizona so I haven’t actually seen her since 2006, when I left Texas.

After that, I went back over to Tara and Cindy’s and we all, plus Margie, went to Jacala’s for dinner. I love Jacala’s!! It is my favorite restaurant in San Antonio because it is just straight up delicious and cheap Mexican food. Word.

Monday, my flight wasn’t until the afternoon, and I wanted to go to Hobby Lobby to look at their bead selection (no Hobby Lobbys in California, *sad face*) so I picked up Tara and we went over to Starbucks and then down to Culebra/1604 to check out the Hobby Lobby and then to the new shopping center on the other side of the freeway. The last time I was in Texas in 2008, that shopping center wasn’t there. We stopped at Books A Million where I picked up a couple things to read on the plane, and then stopped at Subway for lunch.

I had to drop the car back off at the airport around 1, so I headed over there and it took a lot faster than I was expecting so I wound up at the airport supremely early. Luckily, SAT has free wifi so I found a seat near my gate and entertained myself for the next hour and a half.

I was lucky this trip to TX because while it was hot, it wasn’t particularly humid. I didn’t take many pictures (three, to be exact, and they are all blurry bar pictures which you will not get to see) but it was a great trip and hopefully I will be able to go for a longer visit next time.
