Post-Wedding, Pre-Cruise

I thought that I'd get a quick note on here before boarding the cruise ship. Unfortunately there's only one computer in the hotel lobby and there's already a line of people behind me, so this is going to be short. Good thing that I type at ninja speed, otherwise there'd be some issues over here.

So, Kyle got married yesterday. Very exciting. So, now I have a sister-in-law- Amie Quinn!. I'm not too sure what the policy is with in-laws though- are her siblings my in-laws as well? Well, i'll be getting to know all of them on the family honeymoon that we're all taking together. I thought that this would be a really odd trip, and I didn't really feel like doing cross family bonding, but it's working out well so far. The wedding was in Stanley Park, and it was really a good ceremony. I was crying from well before it started, and continued through the whole ceremony until long after it ended, so I drained my tear ducts for a while. The dinner/reception was nice-good cake, and speech lengths were kept to a minimum.

Unfortunately, I didn't catch the flowers Amie threw, so for all of you hoping to attend a wedding within the next little while, you'll have to make friends with Amie's stupid cousin who jumped infront of me and practically tackled me down to catch it. No worries though- I took her out back later and showed her that no one messes with the Quinns.

So, now I'm getting excited for the cruise. I'm going snorkelling, biking or a glacier, and kayaking at our stops in Alaska, so that should be really cool. I actually went for a ride here along the coast in Vancouver a couple of days ago, but my chain broke in the middle of nowhere so I had to walk my bike about 6 km to a bike shop to get it fixed. Hopefully that won't happen on the bike trip, but we'll be a little more prepared.

I'll be sure to keep everyone up-to-date on our biking adventures, or misadventures as they may be. I'm hoping for downhill all the way, but we'll see how that goes.

Enjoy the rest of your summers, and have fun in school/work (not that any of my friends are working)/travelling or whatever. I love you and miss you all!
