Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Last month marked two interesting occasions in my life 1.) the night I slept on my bathroom floor and 2.) my bachelorette party. Oddly enough, they occured on the same evening.

Friends traveled from other cities, counties and in a couple cases out of state to make it. We had a great time thanks to the detailed plans of my BAMF MOH and BM's. Special thanks to all my girls who made it: Trisha, Rachel, Amanda, Jenny, Margaret, Jennifer, Bryn, Nicole B., Melissa, Lisa, Kristie and, of course, Jennifer!

We started out the evening with a delicious dinner Jennifer cooked up in our new kitchen, played some flipcup on our porch, had a pure romance party and got in the 14 passenger van to head to Royal Oak for a night out at Skybar, Memphis Smoke and Vinotecha. The best part of the night was having all my favorite people (or most) in one spot:)

(special thanks to Greg for giving the ladies the house and spending the night at Eric's)

*deep breath* Here are the photos from the night:

Since I told my sister phallic items were not welcome, she chose that as the theme for dinner as a joke..and there was a delightful mixture in the pitcher:)

Amanda setting up flip-cup on the deck..it begins...

More Flip cup...

Rachel and Trisha trying to figure out what positions the toothpicks were in...

Time to hop on the bus! The girls bond:)

Lisa and I celebrating!

All of us (most of us) out at Skybar in Royal Oak!


My sister and sister-to-be make faces....

Photos kinda dwindled towards the end of the night..but oh what a night it was. Thanks to everyone for making this a night to remember!

More to come!

The Graduate!

As a proud alumni, I'm happy to announce the graduation of my younger sister from Central Michigan University! She's one smart cookie, graduated Cum Laude and even managed to get a shout out from the ceremony speaker. For Greg and I (both CMU alumnae), it was a fun excuse to go up and visit our alma mater on a nice Saturday morning.

This post is short but sweet - I'm one proud sister.


Congratulations Jennifer! Here is the emcee calling her name:

Here's Rose Arena inside the Student Activity Center (SAC) where the ceremony was held...look at that lovely maroon and gold flying!

Like the photo freak I am, I crept up and took some paparazzi-style shots to catch how excited she was for the day:) She's so happy!

Greg and I waiting outside the SAC to catch up with Jennifer for hugs and photo opps!

Finally caught up with her...on the lovely windy morning to get a sister/CMU Alum shot!

In short, it was a lot of fun making the trek up to CMU and watching my little sister not be so little anymore and receive her college degree.

More to come,

Nicole
