My sister and her boyfriend went to Vegas on Sunday, and arrived back in Honolulu yesterday morning. My mom went to pick them up. I’d been hearing on the radio that people were getting sick up there, so I was a little worried about them. That was all I thought of their trip. But when I got home from work yesterday, my mom asked if I had time to talk, and I said a little since my date was coming in about 20 minutes to pick me up. And she told me my sister got married in Vegas.

Wow. Just like that. I am kind of shocked though they’ve been seeing each other for the longest time, and my mom’s been harassing my sister to get married for so long. I asked my mom how she felt about it, and she said it was OK with her since she and my father also eloped.

Kinda weird. Just have to get used to the fact she’s got a husband now, and she’s not going to have the family name once she changes it. But I’m happy for them nonetheless.

Last night, the guy I’m dating ate with me at Thai Kitchen in Waipahu. It was his first time there, and he liked it a lot. They are so reasonable– and their food is great. Its really worth checking out if you live on Oahu and like Thai food. We ate ice cream at Waiau Zippy’s, returned his Star Trek Season 1, Disc 1 to Diamond Head Video, and then cruised at my house. It was nice hanging out with him. He’s been having large amounts of stress at work. I felt bad because I know his friends wanted him to come hang with them, but he ended up hanging with me instead.

Maybe this will be the year I get a new job? Maybe this will be a year of changes for my family. My mom and sister’s life has already changed a lot with this wedding. I know my mom’s been ready to ask him to marry my sister herself! Haha!
