Happy Endings

I hosted a little get-together for the season finale of The Bachelorette on Monday night. Throughout the season, some of the girls would get together to watch, so it was only right to have a party for the finale! Well, I'm not sure if it was the wine, Sangria, or beer - but, we were definitely giddy with Ali's choice! We had all assumed that she was going to end up single, and choose neither Chris or Roberto (thanks Reality Steve!).

But, when she broke up with Chris before the final rose ceremony (so classy), we knew we were in for a temporary fairytale ending! Let's just hope they stay together!

P.S. I was "Team Roberto" from Day One! Whew...

Snapshot Saturday

Since I missed Flashback Friday, I figured I'd do Snapshot Saturday (which I've seen on a few other blogs).

UCF (my alma mater) is playing Texas today. Here is a picture from my Bachelorette party in 2007. My friends and I are hanging out in a local bar in Savannah, watching that very same match-up. We ended our day here (before going out that night), after sight-seeing all day, and eating at Lady and Sons for lunch.

That was definitely a fun-filled weekend!

Bachelorette Party - Saturday 9/15/07

Saturday in Savannah started off early. We awoke, had breakfast, and were out the door by 10am. Here are a couple pics of the adorable shirts my sister and mom made for us...

We hit River Street and went shopping. I think everyone's favorite store was the huge candy store! After River Street, we went to lunch at Paula Deen's restaurant, Lady & Sons. I had the Chicken Pot Pie, and it was to die for.

After lunch, most of us headed off on a Historical Trolley Tour around Savannah, while others went back to the hotel for some R&R. We finished the afternoon watching the UF-TN game (Go Gators!) and UCF - Texas game (Go Knights!) at some local establishments.

Now, here comes the debauchery! In all honesty, there really was no debauchery. I had to do some "challenges" that night, but it was all in good fun. One challenge I had to do, was stand up on a chair, and announce to the crowd that I was getting married. Another challenge consisted of me having to blow up a condom. You get the picture, right?

We finished off the night ordering the largest pizza I have ever seen in my life, courtesy of Lisa. Overall, the weekend was more than I anticipated. I had an absolute blast, and feel very grateful to have such a wonderful sister (she planned it all), and great group of friends.

11 more days...

Bachelorette Party - Friday 9/14/07

I'm sure everyone is interested in seeing all the debauchery that went on during my Bachelorette Party. Unfortunately, there was only a tiny, miniscule bit of it. I thought I would post two blogs regarding the weekend, one for Friday night, and one for Saturday.

We arrived in Savannah on Friday night around 6pm. I was joined there by my sister, Kathy, Bob's sister, Jo, and friends, Lisa, Katie, Kelly, Heidi, and Tova. We stayed at the Hampton Inn on Bay Street, which was a perfect location! The hotel was right across the street from the infamous River Street. And, just a block or two away from City Market, the other "happening" spot of Savannah.

We went out to dinner on Friday night at this yummy seafood restaurant. Unfortunately, the name slips my mind, but it was fun, nonetheless. Here is a picture of us from that dinner...

After dinner, we were off on our next adventure - a ghost hearse tour! Besides the debauchery that was to come later (kidding!); I think this was the best part of our trip. We had the entire hearse to ourselves, and really enjoyed the tour. I highly recommend it to anyone who visits Savannah. Make sure you do the hearse tour though...it adds to the experience.

Here is a picture of us all at a local cemetery...

So, there you go...that was our Friday in Savannah. Stay tuned for what happened Saturday night. It was crazy!! ;-)
