Trip to Minnesota - family and wedding

Last Friday afternoon, we left the 82 degrees of Kansas to travel to snowy Minnesota for the weekend.  Not smart?  Maybe not, but we sure had fun.  Our goal was to attend a friend's wedding and see our loving Minnesota family. 
Daya and Naomi are super-special.

Mark cleaned up his apartment and even hosted a Friday night dinner party.  We enjoyed meeting his friends ...
and loved eating the yummy food.  His apartment looked great and was very comfortable.  While some might say it remains cluttered, I would argue that it is "prepared." Do you need a standard slot screwdriver?  Check out this neatly labeled drawer:
Are you looking for a rubber band, a black marker or a Uniball pen?  Look on the red bin shelf:
How about some scissors?  The yellow bin shelf offers multiple options:
Some V-Neck tees?  The bedroom of course.
He even has a special place for white golf shirts!
I'm telling you, Mark's system is super efficient.

Saturday night we went to Ghazala's wedding.  Since we hadn't attended a Pakistani Muslim wedding before, we didn't really know what to expect.  We soon learned that punctuality was not expected.  We arrived on time and for almost an hour ... we were the only ones there.  The ceremony was 2 hours late.  So was dinner.  Even so, the entire experience was fantastic 
and Ghazala was BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks to Ghazala for inviting us to her wedding.

And mega thanks to Mark for making the weekend so much fun.
