engaged! (+ family & host)

After the baby birthday party, I continued down the Peninsula to attend Monica and Wuy’s engagement party, which was hosted by Monica’s good friend, Ashley. It’s truly a small world: one of Wuy’s old roommates (Josie) is good family friends with Rae, and another person there (Pam) went to school with my ex-’s sister.

Upon meeting me Pam proclaimed, “Oh! You’re the guy with the website.” Hmmm. The “guy with the website.” I’m not sure how I feel about that…

I had a great time with Monica, Wuy, Elliot, Mandy, and their friends. After the party, Elliot and Mandy drove Monica and Wuy back up to San Francisco to meet up with friends to witness the rebirth of the de Young museum, which stayed open for the entire weekend in celebration. I didn’t go because the Bay Bridge closure would have left me stranded in San Francisco overnight. Boo.
