Graduation

I know it's better late than never but I graduated on Saturday, December 10th, 2011. I am so excited to finally be done with my master's degree and school in general!!! Here are a few pics of my graduation ceremony. Thank you to all my family that spent the day with me and everyone that sent cards and called me. With all the wedding preparations it was nice to take a day to celebrate graduating and have a delicious dinner at Pappadeaux :).

Bachelorette Party :)

My Bachelorette party was on Saturday but I haven't felt human until now (Monday night). Katy, My sister and MOH, threw an awesome party. She had me go over to her apartment to get ready and had fruity drinks ready for me when I got there. We drank and sang along to an awesome 90's playlist while we got ready and were altogether very embarrassing. Everyone met at the Forum (shopping center) to get onto the party bus Katy rented for the evening and I was shocked when we pulled up and there were two half naked guys waiting for us outside the bus!!! One was handing out boas and the other was handing out shot glass necklaces and whistles. We all posed for a group picture before we left.


We started the night at a place called Dick's Last Resort. For those of you not familiar with the concept of this particular establishment it is a little different. Their main goal in life is to provide terrible service, insult you, make crude jokes and generally piss you off. Which made it the perfect destination for our drunken troupe. Our waiter, who we dubbed "Big Sexy", was awesome. He kept our drinks full, danced with us and made terrible dirty jokes and was overall awesome.

Our next and final stop was a country & western bar called Midnight Rodeo. The dance floor was in the shape of a giant circle and had a bar in the middle. After a few times out on the dance floor I realized that I was a little too intoxicated for the twirling involved with two-stepping. We danced, drank and laughed the night away until our dutiful DD's came to get us.

There are several parts of the story I have left out intentionally that are better explained with pictures and some I think all of us would like to keep to ourselves. I speak for everyone when I say we had an amazing night and I think we're all just a little bit closer now :).
