Daisy dukes, bikinis on top.

33 days until our wedding, time sure did fly by! I’ve been meaning to write a post, but I wanted to wait until the beach day I had planned with my friends and for the bridal shower my sister and my mom were throwing me was over. This weekend was full of lots of parties and lots of fun! On Thursday was the beach day I planned, I guess I’m the planner of the group and nothing happens unless I plan it, so after 2 years of talking about having a beach day I decided to take initiative. I told everyone 3 weeks early so they could take the day off, and I planned for the beach on Thursday because it’s not too crowded. We headed off to Crystal Beach at 11am; it couldn’t have been a prettier day. As soon as we got there we fired up the grill, took out the umbrellas, and set up our canopy…sort of...some of the poles were missing so..yeah...



I can’t believe my friends went in the water; it didn’t look appealing to me at all, my friends are the kind of people that have to do something, like play volleyball or soccer or swim, I just like to sit there and relax. So while they supposedly got stung by jellyfish, I took a nap :). I got a little sad realizing this was the last time we would all really be together hanging out. There was a lot of that this weekend. You have to understand, these people aren’t my high school friends, they’re more than that, they’re not even “like” family, they ARE family. All of our parents have known each other since before they were married. I have seen these people twice every Sunday for the past twenty years. There’s a lot of history in our friendship. I’m going to miss seeing them every week.





It was a perfect day.

On Friday my sister and I went shopping for some dresses, it’s AMAZING what shopping does for stress. My friend said she was gonna take me out for dinner so we went home, got dressed and picked her up. Ummm yeah she decided to throw me a surprise “girls only party” we had a lot of fun playing games and talking. The next day was the bridal shower so it was pretty hectic. My mom is such a great planner, I’m glad I got that gene from her. The bridal shower was awesome and the girls slept over that night. Right now I’m having such a mix of emotions; I’m excited yet nervous with a hint of sad... but more excited...absolutely cannot wait…33 days!
