Matt and Elizabeth are getting married! Wow. Although I expected it at some point, I'm still floored! Matt wants me to be his Best Man. Yea! They're hoping for a fall wedding, but I wonder if they'll have to back it up. It's hard to find reception halls. Actually, I'd prefer it in the spring. It'd only be 4 - 5 months before I go back again if it's in the fall. But then, maybe I'll need that, too. I'm sure this will add some emotion to discussing relationship matters with Bob. All my friends are "settling down." Why not me? Why not us? Shit. Got through another weekend of First Communions. I really hate doing them. But I'm looking forward to editing this week. I've been practicing my Spanish with María Carmen and Frank, but I still prefer taking the easy road. Last night, I partied with Alton and Sune at their house. They were so fucked up. I didn't have the energy to go to the bar with them at 2 am. It was very difficult to get up this morning! This German girl, Angie, is moving in today. I'll miss my privacy! I made a tape Friday night while drinking wine and re-reading my journal. I've had quite an incredible life, I think. Not really spectacular in most ways, but this Spain thing has been eerily fulfilling. Spent most of the day on the beach. It was nice to have (most of) the day to myself!
