My bachelorette party!

Well folks, it's official. There are less than 2 weeks left til the wedding, which means we are getting married next week!!!!! I can't believe it. I REALLY can't believe it. I am completely mentally ready, but there are still some logistics to iron out and the time is running low!
Rick and I are really getting more excited by the day to spend our special occasion with you all and celebrate.
We've been pretty busy the last couple weeks. We have both had our bachelorette/bachelor parties and we both had a really good time. I can't believe they are both over already! Now we are just trying to get last minute things done and enjoy our time together before everything gets slightly chaotic in the next week or so.
Besides that Rocco got neutered last week and we had to take Penny in for a scratch near her eye. Our dumb Vet bill is racked up for the month! Hopefully we won't have any more of those for a LONG time.
Ok, so, onto pictures for now! Oh wait, before I forget...I just got the news a few days ago that Heather Arnell Ricker, one of my best friends, is pregnant! So excited for her and Jay! Ok, NOW onto pictures!
My Bachelorette party was at a club downtown called Aura. We had a lingerie shower and dinner and spent the evening there. Everyone I invited showed up, there was no drama and no one got ridiculous! It made me love my friends even more!

One of the highlights of the night was when 2 South Korean tourists came up and asked what we were doing. They were fascinated by everything and kept asking about the traditions and why we do what we do. When I thought about it, how bizarre is a bachelorette party?! Love the peace sign and big floppy hat!

Me and beautiful Megan. (Dont you love my bridal boa?)

While we were taking this pic Ang told me she's 4 months pregnant! Congrats Ang!!!

I also love that Preston, my best guy friend, joined in the festivities for awhile!

5 of us girls got a hotel room downtown to make things easier and I am glad we did! We were short one bed, so Steph slept in the nightstand :0)

I honestly have over 100 pictures from that night but posting them all is slightly overboard :)
Rick only has 1 picture from his Bachelor party so I'll get that up soon. Today we went to Sauvie Island for the afternoon so I'll get those up too.
I think that's it for now!
Adios!
