Bachelorette Weekend Fun!!!

I'm heading up north this weekend for a fun Bachelorette night for my cousin!!! We are starting at a lake on Saturday during the day and catching the train into Chicago for dinner and a fun night!! This is really all I know about the weekend... the Maid of Honor was in charge of this party (I did the shower) so I'm excited to see what she has planned for us!

I took her out for her 21st Birthday and this was the scene...

The plan is to top this, but not feel like crap on Sunday :-D

Have a great weekend... see you on the flip side!!

Wedding Wednesday

About a year ago, on Memorial Day Weekend, I had the most amazing weekend with friends and family as I had my bachelorette party in Chicago and another bridal shower, hosted by two of my aunts, in the same city as our family lake house, where I've spent a very significant part of my life.

The trip to Chicago started off rocky, and getting bumped off our flight meant that the Cubs tickets that J got us went to waste (so sad that I still haven't made it to Wrigley). When we finally got there, things started looking up! We ate a lot, we drank some :) and we went all around the city. We even took some time to get an education on our weekend of fun by going to the Museum of Science and Industry.

After a fun couple of nights, we took the train from Chicago to South Bend and then rented a car to take us to my bridal shower. My only Aunt on my dad's side, Sandi and my Godmother/Aunt on my mom's side, Debbie put the shower on for me. Aunt Sandi makes me taco salad every year for my Birthday so when she offered to do the same for my shower, I could not pass it up! We had the shower in her church and it was lots of fun! We played games and ate GREAT food and had a great time!
