I’m off to Minnesota this morning for Jenny and Odeen’s wedding. These people are pretty special to me. I was there (well, in relative proximity) the moment they first laid eyes on each other at a journalism program orientation in 2003. They’ve been madly — OK, disgustingly — in love ever since. We all ended up in Arizona eventually and now I can’t imagine my time there without them. Last year, Odeen IMed me giddily from Hawaii where he had just proposed. I’m kind of surprised at myself that I’m traveling alone to spend not even 48 hours in a strange, foreign place (Minnesota!), but whenever I thought about not going, I felt sad. So I’m going. Like now. AHHH! Anyway, happy 8-8-8 tomorrow.
