He Liked it So Much He Put a Ring On It!

You know you are becoming an adult when friends start getting engaged/married.  Well today, I headed north to Jersey to Miss Jessica's bridal shower.  Jessica and I, along with the fabulous Christine a.k.a. Tini, met in college when working as undergraduate volunteer coordinators at GW's Office of Community Service.

Me, Tini, Jess from the last time we were all together

And the rest they say is history.  Jess graduated first, then me and then Christine; over the years, we have still stayed in touch/visited each other whenever possible.  The fact that we are on the East Coast definitely helps matters.  In the fall of 2011 Jess got engage.  Bill Cosby was even in on the action (I kid you not my friends)!!

Today Tini and I headed up to NJ  for Jess' bridal shower.  As this is my first friend to get married I am kind of winging the entire thing, but thanks to the internet I was able to get a shower gift yesterday.  We made good time up to the Garden State and I can now officially say that I have stepped foot on NJ soil (getting gas on the Turnpike does not count), got to see the blushing bride and  have gotten to meet Jess' mother (I have heard lots of impressions of this darling lady).
