Good weekend in Indy

Another friend married! No one else in my fraternity yet but it was one of Amber's best friends, Allison. We went up on Thursday night and I dropped her off at Allison's apartment for the bachelorette party. I then went to Milf's and sat around and talked awhile before we headed to Broadripple for some drinks. Nothing to exciting, just felt weird cause it was the first time I've been "out" since I've been married, and of course there were many attractive girls to look at so it was just weird to be completely "taken". Apparently we just missed the bachelorette party. They went to the same area though they hit the dance clubs and we were just hanging in some other bars. I was going to go out with Milf again on Friday but I'm too old for 2 nights in a row apparently!!
Friday went to breakfast with Amber after surprising her by showing up at Allison's unannounced. Dropped her off with the wedding party and headed to Merkel's apartment. We watched all his tivo'd shows and I tried my hardest to stay awake. Went back and picked Amber up and went to the rehersal dinner and ate the mystery Porkey. We sat with Allison's friends from high school, very strange but fun group of girls. I headed back to Merkel's with the thought that we would meet up with Milf and Ashby, but once I sat on his couch I couldn't get the motivation to get up again. Which was for the better because my back had been bothering me for the past few days and I really needed to just get some sleep.
Saturday was another lazy type day. Went with Merkel to get Allison's wedding present and then ate at BD's Mongolian Grill. It was good, not great but good. First time I've seen a white guy running the big flattop. Had to run to David's Bridal to get Allison a garter cause she couldn't find hers on the way to the wedding.
The wedding was nice, I wasn't a big fan of the pastor but its hard to compete with Pastor Bob!!
Went to the reception (a 45 minute drive across town). It was at the Indiana Historical Society. It was a very fancy place. They had us stand around the upper balcony for a long time with FREE drinks and hors'dervs (or however that is spelled.) Food was okay, everything was a little cold...OSHA would not have been happy. Danced some with Amber and talked with some people we knew from Rose. I didn't drink too much cause I had to drive 6 people home! We did stop at White Castle on the way back to Merkel's though!
The whole weekend made me missed being in college and seeing all these people everyday. You really take it for granted what you had! I had a great time in college made a lot of friends (most of which I won't see or talk to again which is sad). Of course there are a few things I would do different but overall it was a great learning experience!
