Anyway..so this past weekend I headed back to Roanoke for Jenny's bridal shower. I knew that this was the only one I would be able to attend and this was for her bridesmaids and friends and some family! Friday nite I head to Roanoke right after work. I was a little anxious about the long drive for some reason but as soon as I hit Charlottesville and saw those beautiful mountains I was soooo happy! I got to my dad's around 1030 and hung out with him for a bit and then went straight to bed! I had to get up pretty early to make crab dip for the shower! Then I had to meet Jenny at Bride's house to try on my bridesmaid dress for the first time...! LUCKY ME!! It was too big!! Yes, I lost some weight! The funny thing was that it was big even through my boobs which for the most part is impossible because they're so gynormous..so anyway I was pleased and the alterations are pretty cheap too! The dress is gorgeous...I don't wanna post the pictures of the full dress because I don't know if Chase has seen them yet and I don't know if she'll want to keep it a suprise so for what its' worth...not doing it :)
After the dress drama I headed over to the shower location to help Ashley finish setting up. I'm really upset about not being able to devote time money and energy into my best friends bridal shower..the move hit us hard and we had a LOT of crazy expenses hit us all at once...she deserves the best because she is the best! I know she understood though..that's why she's the best! We did lots of fun things at the shower..let me elaborate!
We ate cake..
We opened gifts..
Wait for it..
That's right..its from her NANA!! And I don't know if you can tell by the expression on her face but she seems thrilled..
Others were less amused..as seen here knitting and rolling her eyes..
we told funny stories..
played silly games.. Megan looks thrilled to be a bride again..
we even had our very own KKK meeting..
the end result..
all in all..the afternoon got a little crazy..i think some people had a little too much punch if you know what i'm sayin... haha kidding!
After the shower, Jenny and I went to the mall so that she could pick up a few peices of her china with some gift cards that she had received. I met up with Hope and Bobby and Lily at the mall before heading to dinner!! Lily didn't seem to feel too well and Bobby took her home while Hope and I had the ultimate girls night..gabbing, snacking and watching bride wars..for the millionth time! Hope is so excited for our wedding..I gave cute card with a poem inside asking her to be my bridesmaid when she visited the beach and also included with that was a book on being a bridesmaid! She's never been a bridesmaid before so she's really excited!
The next day I just had to go meet my favorite girl..Suzanne! We decided to go to Fork in the City for lunch! Of course, it was awesome and just as cool as Fork in the Alley but in a bigger setting and in a different part of town...I loved it! We probably had a 3 hour lunch and the waiter was dying to get rid of us but we had so much to catch up on! After lunch and talking in her car for an hour it was time for me to head back to the beach..but not before stopping by Jen's new house to see our good friend, Natalie! I was so excited! She came up here from Alabama to go with her mom to a springsteen concert! I haven't seen her in years..the three of us were like the three musketeers and never missed a year of camp together..some of the greatest memories I have were with jenny and Natalie! I'm so excited that she and her husband josh will be coming to the wedding..actually Natalie is another bridesmaid! Love you girl!
The ride home was just as enjoyable as the ride to Roanoke..its always good to come home and see the mountains but I get a thrill of excitement when I head back to the beach and start to cross over the water and the bridges and smell the ocean..I love both places equally! It was so much fun to hang out with my girls this weekend! Lee and I will both be coming home for Memorial Day weekend and where we'll go to a family BBQ..and I'll have my final dress fitting! Can't wait to see everyone again!
