Bachelorette Party!

This past weekend was my bachelorette party/girls weekend. And all I can say is: I have THE BEST FRIENDS. I had SO much fun, and I was so thankful for most of my girls being able to make it. A couple were not able....but they were thought of and in a few cases...sang too via voice mail. hee hee.
A run down of the weekend:

- Brandi and I arrived around 9:0opm Thursday night, and then Mariellen got me hooked on the stupidest show "One Tree Hill" and so now I am going to start watching it.... :)
Beginning our journey to Nashville (that's the Plumberville post office in the background!)
- Lindsey, Kati and Jeane arrived at 2:00am Friday morning, I was dreaming about them getting there and was a little disoriented when they arrived (Jeane was also thinking stop signs were people by this point...so we were all a little nuts)
- Sidney-pup about ate all of them alive for busting in her house at 2:00am and startling her.
- We ate lunch in downtown Murfreesboro and shopped Friday afternoon (I bought a dress that was on sale that I had tried on in April when I was there..that was STILL there just waiting on me..it was a sign!)
- We went to Arrington Vineyard in Arrington...we had a wonderful picnic...ate tons of cheese and dips....and did a wine tasting..YUM!

Picnic'ing at Arrington!
-We had dance party to old schools tunes at Mariellen's house afterwards...complete with frozen pizza's, a "cupcake cake" in the shape of a stilletto and more snacks.
-Saturday morning we headed to Nashville, ate lunch and shopped around Green Hills area
-We checked into our hotel in downtown Nashville, got ready in our hats (Mariellen's idea) and headed to dinner at Lime, it was awesome!
The girls before we left the hotel!

-Being out in downtown nashville wearing a "bachelorette" sash elicits a lot of marital advice....
-One man thought my sash said "Barracuda" HAHA
-I was dragged by a crazy woman to a stage where she insisted on having the band play me a song...and she SWORE she new the lead singer. I'm not convinced she knew where she was, let alone the lead singer. Needless to say, no song was ever played, and she wasted about $40 dollars (she also said that the song we MUST request was "sweet home alabama" because that's what ALL bachelorette's wanted to hear...... We were all CRACKING up!)
-Mariellen, Brandi and I karaoked "Here for a good time" by Lady Antebellum...I can't sing, so I just held the microphone WAY away from my face and let Mariellen and Brandi do the work....That's our new song...right Mari? :)
-My stomach was sore on Sunday driving home from LAUGHING all weekend. I love that feeling!
-My friends would not let me pay for a thing all weekend, and made me feel so special. They were too sweet and it is seriously one of my favorite weekends ever!!!!
-I kept looking around all weekend, because it was SO strange to have so many of my VERY favorite people in the same place
-I also kept thinking I just could NOT believe that it was MY bachelorette party! MINE! :) And that is was finally here. Crazy.
-Can we go back and do the weekend ALL over again...PLEASE!?!?!?!?!
