Weekend Recap (4/6- 4/7)

It’s Monday again, my friends.  This weekend seemed to fly by!  It’s crazy how some weekends can seem like they drag on (yay!) and some just seem to end at the blink of an eye.  Although the weekend went by quickly, it was a pretty great weekend. 

Saturday

On Saturday, I went to my friend Lauren’s bridal shower and bachelorette party.  As bridesmaids, we all picked a month and decorated a wine bottle to celebrate a specific holiday during that month.  I picked December and did First Christmas Eve.  Here was the poem I wrote (with Bryan’s help):

After the bridal shower, we all went down to Center City Philadelphia to get the bachelorette party started!  First we went to a pole dancing class!  It was actually really fun – completely more difficult than you would expect.  Pole dancers must have crazy upper body strength.

Not the best photo, but that was our instructor showing us all the cool tricks she could do

After finishing up with the class, we went back to the hotel and got ready for a fun night out.  We walked over to Rumor, a nightclub in the Rittenhouse section of Philly.  I haven’t been to a nightclub since college and those were always gross, not classy ones.  You know, the clubs that allow “17 to party, 21 to drink.”  This club was completely different.  It had about 5 or 6  different rooms playing different types of music.  When we got there we were actually the first group there.  Who knew showing up at 9:30PM was early?!

Unfortunately I don’t have any photos yet from Saturday besides that random one of the pole dancer, but Lauren’s sister in-law is going to be sending them soon.  I’ll have to share all the ones of me that aren’t too crazy!

Sunday

On Sunday morning, I slept in until about 9:30AM which was the best feeling ever.  After that we headed down over to Bryan’s parents’ house for grilling!  The weather was pretty much perfect all weekend, so we wanted to take advantage of that and eat outside on the deck.  Bryan’s sister made grilled shrimp, sausage, peppers and onions.  They were SO SO good.  (I don’t eat sausage, as you know, but Bryan said it was amazing).  Luckily for us, we have lots of left overs.

After eating, Bryan’s mom showed me all the stuff she already has for our engagement party.  I’m glad I checked with her first, because I probably would have bought double of what she already had.  She had a punch bowl, a serving table, a bucket for drinks and a lot of other cool stuff.  Random thought:  Our engagement party is on the 20th and I still need to get a dress. AHH.  I’ll probably go shopping this week and pick one out.  I have a general idea of what I want it to look like, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find a white dress in April.  Especially with graduations coming up and other spring-time festivities, the stores usually have a lot of options this time of year.
