We survived the wedding. Lots of drinking, dancing (yes) and fun. I must go to more Scottish weddings, everybody was friendly and happy. More so than other weddings I’ve been to. I guess a Indian wedding will be next.

Waking up late, Gaby decided to do her homework for class, I was forced to watch bad Brit TV.

I’m going crazy this past week. The week started with possibly getting fired, and kept my brain on overdrive until today. I’m obviously carrying over the stress of the week to my home life, although the work is not always the lone reason for being upset there.
Anyhow, before the trek to Scotland this week, I’m [...]
