last weekend, art, esther, and i drove up to norcal for jae and lisa's wedding. didn't get to spend a lot of time there, but esther and i were able to spend a few hours in berkeley, a coupla hours in san fran, and then we hung out with esther's stanford friends on friday night.
in berkeley, esther and i ate at cafe durant and walked around a little bit. i finally got a berkeley license plate frame...it was really weird being back. we were walking around telegraph and campus during lunch time, so there were massive amounts of students out and about. usually when i visit campuses, i feel like the students look so young, but there, it didn't really feel that way. maybe we just saw a lot of graduate students. anyways, we walked past sproul and through campus to the bart station and headed in the city. didn't do much there, but we walked around union square and shopped a little, then met up with arthur to drive down to where esther's friends teach (i forgot the name of the city already...) we beat traffic, so we ended up getting there a little early...got boba with salty fried chicken (pretty yummy) and then i was still in a munchy mood, so we got spring rolls at a pho place nearby.
terry took us to a mall where some of his students work...one of them works at build-a-bear, so he got esther a belated birthday present...named moo-moo thanks to a baby pointing out that name in the name book. they had a crazy little birthday party going on while we were there...that was an experience, but it looked like they were having a lot of fun. another student works at cold stone creamery, so we totally ruined our appetites for dinner, but it was really, really good.
the wedding took up most of the day on saturday, and we ended up leaving for la after the reception. the wedding was really nice...lisa looked beautiful, of course, and jae looked...well, like jae. (just kidding, hehe). it was really good seeing so many old faces, like the praise team (kimi and sang and their two daughters, madison and sydney, eugenie, danny chai, christine ohm...), and people from our class that i hadn't seen since graduation.
on sunday, kris graduated!!
