Girls Weekend

Last weekend my girlfriends and I went to Ocean Shores to stay at the Quinalt Beach Resort for Lauras Surprise Bachelorette Party!! We rented a huge suite that looked out over the ocean and whooped it up. There were lots of drinks, gifts, laughter, dancing and of course great friends!!

Thanks girls for such a fun weekend!! It was surely memorable!!

We blind folded laura for the surprise!!


Watch out Quinalt.. here comes trouble!!


The view from our room. It was very stormy but still so pretty!!




Laura and I (you are going to be a beautiful bride!!)


Right before we left to come back home we savored a few moments on the beautiful beach!!

Thats what friends are for...

Sunday evening Laura had the bridesmaids for her wedding come over for a little thank you dinner before the big day.

We ate, drank and laughed our tails off. Maybe it was the 4 bottles of wine that did it but either way it was such a great night. Each of us got individual gifts that pertained to each one of our personalities and friendships.

One of the gifts included was a magnet with an inspirational quote... This is what is said.....

Be Happy in this Moment.. This moment is your life!

Thought it was just perfect!! Can't wait for the big day!!

Showering Lulu

Saturday was Lauras bridal shower and boy was it fun! The big day is set for October 11th so Saturday was the shower that the bridesmaids were throwing. There was yummy food, fun games, tasty margaritas, great gifts, laughter, and of course wonderful friends. The afternoon was so much fun and I know Laura feels so blessed to have so many wonderful people in her life. I sure know that I do! I can hardly wait for the big day!!

Here are the ya ya's...

The Garrisons

Laura is one of my closest friends and she is getting ready to marry a wonderful man named Doug. At first we were all being protective and were very skeptical of this man who was stealing our lulu away. I think it had something to do with the whole internet dating thing. I quickly came to the realization that not only meeting online is how you do it but also that Doug is just great!

This weekend his brothers were up from Portland for a visit. I had yet to meet them so we went down to The Ram for a quick beer and hello.
It was a quick hour but it was so fun meeting them and to finally be able to put a face with a name.




I have this sneaky suspicion that this is going to be one fun bridal party!! :)

Let's Celebrate Lulu

Saturday evening the bridal party for Lulu's wedding met at the new shop to try on Bridesmaids dresses. There were many laughs as well as many dresses tried on.





After the dresses were tried on we opened gifts for Lulu's and Tessa's Birthdays. I guess you could say we decided to have a ya ya. That is our once a month girls dinner. They got lots of fun presents this year!!


Afterwards we walked over to Engine house no 9 for some food and a beer. Yummy!!


Thanks ladies for always being such great girlfriends!!
