Bachelorette Party

This past weekend was my bachelorette party and my friend Kelli flew in from Wisconsin on Friday night. Andy, Kelli and I went to dinner on Friday night and then back to the house to do some wedding crafts. It was only about an hour or so, but Andy definitely complained the whole time about having to cut paper. I am going to admit that I had my first slight bridezilla moment on Friday night during craft time. I sort of freaked on Kelli because one of her squares was not straight. Ooops! I did apologize because it's not Kelli's fault that I was stressed out about not knowing anything planned for me that weekend and just received some interesting news that added to my stress. Here are my awesome helpers.


Then on Saturday morning Amber and Kim picked us up and we headed to the Westin Kierland Resort to meet up with AJ and Jessica for spa day. It turned out to be a great day as Andy bought me a champagne and chocolate scrub and the ladies got me a facial. It was so nice and relaxing that I would love to do that once a month. Then the ladies got us a cabana by the pool where we chilled the rest of the afternoon. This resort had a lazy river in it so we grabbed some cocktails and floated in the river for a couple hours. It was a perfect day. Then it was time to get out of the sun and get ready for whatever they had planned next.

While I was getting ready in our villa I started to notice the girls being discreet so I knew something was up. Especially once I figured out that Kelli and AJ were in charge of entertaining me while I was doing my hair. This had me worried they got a stripper because I did NOT want a stripper. Kelli promised it was not a stripper and that I would like it...and she was right. It turned out to be a passion party. It was so much fun. We laughed and laughed and laughed throughout the whole party. The ladies prepared hors d'oeurves and had wine for the passion party as well. Everything was tasty. This isn't everything the ladies did because I took this picture before I was banned from the living room.


After the passion party we all walked over to Tommy Bahamas restaurant in Kierland and my meal was so yummy! By the time dinner was over at 11pm we were all exhausted and were ready to call it a night. I was not interested in whooping it up all evening long and was ready to head back to the resort.


On Sunday we checked out and headed back to the pool where we met up with Andy, Brian and baby Stella. We floated down the river, had lunch and frozen drinks on a beautiful 95 degree day. Here is Kelli and I on Sunday before we packed up and headed out.


I had such a great bachelorette party and I couldn't have asked for anything more or less. These ladies know me well and it was perfect. I didn't want anything crazy and definitely no "suck for a buck" t-shirt while bar hopping. That is not my thing. All that was important to me was spending quality time with my girlfriends who I am super close with...mission accomplished. Thanks ladies!
