Weekendssss

This weekend was a pretty interesting weekend.  I had a fun and exciting weekend.  First off, Friday was just the regular Friday spent at home and enjoying the day volunteering after work.  I got off at 10am from work and headed straight to the Salvation Army right after.  It was an experience like no other.  I met many people there that had interesting stories to tell and had the desire to work.  It was quite nice to experience something new and different; something that wasn’t what I accustomed to and was comfortable with.  As Saturday came along, we attended one of my friend’s wedding in Milwaukee.  It was nice to get out of town and enjoy the weekend elsewhere other than little old Sheboygan.  The wedding went well and we had a blast.  After the ceremony finished, we headed to the banquet hall, which I thought was pretty big at the time of arrival.  Until more and more people started to show up, the place had been packed!  I’ve noticed that in the American culture, if you don’t rsvp for an event like a wedding, you don’t attend that event!  The thing with the Hmong culture is that it’s not like that at all.  Even if you get 100 people who reply back with an rsvp, there could potentially be 300 people that could come.  That’s something that has always been very bothersome.  The good thing was that the food didn’t run out but on the other hand, some people had to stand and seats were a high commodity!  After the wedding, we also went out for another friend’s birthday.  Went downtown and bar hopped through water street.  It was a night to remember.  Had a great time with friends and enjoyed each others’ company! 

I think that it’s what you make out of your weekends and life I general.  It’s either, you make it fun and exciting or boring and full of disappointments.  It’s also hard to go by good friends that you could enjoy moments with as well and when you find good friends, keep them close.  It’s never wrong to have many friends!
