bachelorette bash!

 the invitation

this past saturday was my bachelorette party!  i was picked up by sarah and tia in the bachelorette mobile and we headed off to cheesecake factory!  there i had 12 of my closest friends together for dinner.  it was such a fun time!  i got lots of great gifts and a really yummy cake!  from there, some of us went downtown to city limits saloon where we drank and danced the night away!  we even took the opportunity to do some bull riding!  some of us did better than others!  i taught my girls the electric slide, cha cha slide, and cupid shuffle in preparation for the wedding reception!  i haven't had that much fun in a long time and i thank everyone SO much for coming!  especially my matron of honor and bridesmaids for all their hard work and stress!  i love you all!

here are a few of my favorite pics from the night...

october 11, 2011

today is johnathan and my 13th anniversary.  we'll be getting married in 11 days!  13 years ago today, we were in high school.  i remember sitting in the living room that night talking to johnathan on the telephone.  the weekend before, he'd called me his girlfriend and i was confused about what we were.  in my high school, you weren't boyfriend/girlfriend until you were asked "will you go out with me?"  i guess at johnathan's high school things worked differently.  after explaining this to him, he said "well fine.  will you go out with me?"  i said "yes" and the rest is history!  the # 1011 has always been special to us.  it pops up all the time when we least expect it.  we always take it as a sign that we're meant to be.  i always thought we'd get married on 10/11 but 10/22 seems like a new start.  we'll always have 2 special days to celebrate that are 11 days apart!

so, in 11 days, we go from being boyfriend/girlfriend and fiance's to being husband and wife.  it's a little strange but i can't think of anyone i'd rather start the journey with!

i love you!!

11 days!!
