Bachelorette Party!

I've been wanting to post some pictures from the Bachelorette Party, but I was waiting for some of my friends to post pictures so I'd have more than 10 to post! But those girls must be as busy as I am because they haven't posted any. So this is what we got so far!

I had such a good time! We went to the Cheesecake Factory, Got our Nails done, went shopping for dresses, got ready at my place and then went to the Wine Bar and then to the Alley Cat! 2 completely different ends of the spectrum! They were both a lot of fun! Not sure that all of the Alley Cat Patrons were all that excited to have a Bachelorette Party there...but the bartender and Louie sure didn't mind!! I don't have any pictures of those 2...maybe later!

Not real sure what I was explaining here!

All of the girls who were at the Cheesecake Factory...minus Karen who was taking the picture!

I was sooooo ready for the Cheesecake portion of the afternoon!

At the salon getting our nails done!

Robyn getting her pedicure! Notice the little paper cup...they let us bring in some wine and drink it! Too bad we didn't know that before hand! We would've gotten champagne glasses...or not!

This is Karen getting her pedicure!! She's so excited!

Me and Mandy relaxing! That was the fastest pedicure EVER!! But Man was not too happy that they didn't do it the right way!

So...a couple of the girls wanted to go to the liquor store right next door. They decided I needed 2 little shooters! From the next few pictures you will see why one of the shooters is in Josh's car...UNOPENED!

Thinking about drinking the rest of it! BLECK! Vodka!

And the result of drinking the rest! BLECK! Vodka!Out at the Wine Bar! This place ROCKED!

Me and my Maid of Honor, Courtney!

Robyn and Sarah having a good time at the Wine Bar!

Rachel and Courtney!

2 "Brides to Be" Me and Karen at the Wine Bar!

Karen loves me!! The 1st night Josh and I actually hung out we stayed at Kyle's and the air matress contained Josh, me and Karen! We all 3 slept together that night!! It was a GOOOOOOOD night ;)

Ah...the Alley Cat! My 1st time there! Great times were had by all!

Back together again...causin trouble and running around! I did a little more stumbling than running though! Wouldn't have made it to the car without ya Rach!!

I was hoping I wasn't going to need to go tanning before the wedding, but after seeing these pictures I realize that I probably can't get away with it! Drat!

Couple's Shower

Ok, so we started a little thing in our family called a Couple's Shower. This is kinda more like a shower for the groom. It's a fun shower where guys are invited along with their ladies and there is some beer drinking and card playing and present opening going on! We had such a good time! Aunt Kay made her WONDERFUL chili! And then we had some ice cream cake and chocolate cake. We then opened some presents!

Here's Mandy, Michael and Sherry before we started to open presents.

This was from Aunt Mary Ellen! She thinks she's so funny. Apparently Josh thinks so too!

Apparently I needed some old tennis shoes of mine that were sitting on Mom's deck for FOREVER! Now we get them back! SWEET!
Now, for those of you who know Josh, you know that he likes to wear BROWN and BLACK and sometimes a dull color. So as a gift to me, my mom bought some colorful shirts for Josh to wear. He'll probably ONLY wear them on our honeymoon, but that's alright by me :)

Look at that pretty orange and green!!

Granny gave us a "Last Supper" plaque and a Crucifix.

Here's the Crucifix.

Derek and Sherry gave us some good Kitchen tools and a basket to keep them in!Mom gave Josh some tequilla with a note that said, "Remember, tequilla makes Jen's clothes fall off!" That'll be good for the honeymoon too!

Mom also gave me a crockpot so that I could make some food for Josh! Poor Josh, he starves to death right now because I don't cook!

1 month?

I seem to be only updating this about once a month. I'm going to try to get a little better at this! I have some fun pictures of the Couple's Shower and some of the Bachelorette Party! I want to put them up, but I dont' see that happening today. I'll be sure to put them up, hopefully sometime this week.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend! Our's was nice, but we drove forever!! We went to see Josh's dad and that's a 4 1/2 hour drive one way! It was good to see him though and we always get to relax while we're up there!!

I'll write a little more later. I have a new boss at work so I'd better do some work!
