Three Days Off- Day 1!
Saturday- Spoke with Kyla and arranged for her, Dragon, and Maria to meet at my house and then we would head over to meet Avienda from there. Dragon and Ragnarok_now were on time, Kyla and Maria showed up between twenty and thirty minutes later; I figured that would be the case. ;)
When Ky had initially emailed me to let me know she was going to be in the area she had told me there was something that she wanted to talk to me about, but she didn't want to do it in an email. Apparently she didn't want to wait and asked me on the phone when we started making our plans for meeting up- Justin (her boyfriend) asked her to marry him, they're planning it for next summer, and she wants me to be a bridesmaid. I'm excited! I've never been one before. ^_^ Sounds like Dragon is being called on to arrange yet another bachelorette party. I have offered her my aid in organizing it. I'm sure she could manage it on her own, but I am more than happy to share the responsibility so why should she?
Kyla called over to let Breeze know we were on the way and we all loaded into Kyla's Mom's car and drove over to the Niles district of Fremont. I haven't been in Niles in a long time. It's such a cute area.
Avienda was beautiful and so quiet while we were there. Brisa gave us the house tour, they've done so much work on that place. They completely redid the kitchen and the restroom, laid tile, etc. Very impressive. Very nice. The house has a very cute layout and seemed fairly easy to divide up for two families to live there. Found out where Avienda's name came from, she's named after a character in a Robert Jordan novel. I also found out that they got married at San Francisco City Hall in June and they both changed their last name. Rather than choose to take each others they came up with a new last name together- Silverleaf. 0_o Nothing wrong with that and I've heard about couples opting for that, but it's just seems sort of...uh...odd to me, I suppose. I certainly couldn't do that. Okay, couldn't isn't the right phrase. I wouldn't be willing to do that. Avienda Silverleaf....does that sound like a fantasy novel character or what?
Maria had dinner plans so we got her back to her car and everyone else stayed and visited at my house for a while till it was time for us to go to Kyla's place for the wonderful dinner that Kyla's Mom was prepping for us. Her parents have always been so kind and welcoming. They have always opened their house to all of Kyla's friends...and fed us. =) Wonderful bar-b-qued chicken, broccoli salad, fruit.
Kyla had to catch an eight-thirty plane out of Oakland so we got out of there around six-thirty, Dragon was kind enough to give me a lift home and then spent part of the evening hanging out with me and James.
