Approaching Wifehood
Bachelorette Party
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ali and I arrived at Alicia's house around 6 to start getting ready for dinner. Our theme was 50's pin-up girl glam. We had seamed stockings and birdcage veils. We were rockin' it! We ate at Garret's which I thoroughly enjoyed! The food was yummy and the atmosphere was so classy. The girls also gave me my gifts there. The gifts were a mixture of nice and flat out silly. ;-)
Then we went to 2nd Cousins. Srsly, we were the talk of the bar. Immediately, all eyes were on us and tons of women came up to us to compliment our style and ask what it was for. One of my gifts from the girls was a huge Rockstar Goblet. The bar was kind enough to make me a drink in that glass! It was so heavy! I needed both hands to hold it and carry it around! LOL! The best part of the bar was that there was a another bachelorette party there. Their theme was wearing glowstick necklaces. They were just glaring at us and the other bride looked really upset that we stole all the attention.

Very good turnout! I was super glad that my old supervisor Sue made it! She gave Ben and I the most beautiful glass vases. They may have been my favorite gift. I was also thrilled Amanda and her mom Rebbecca came. They always tell great stories and I think Ben liked their gift the best. It is a digital picture frame. Super cool! The shower was very pleasant and I think everyone had good time. We played a 20 questions game where a name is pinned to your back and you have to ask other people yes or no questions to see if you can guess who you are. I was Pooh Bear!
