Old Friends' New Beginnings

Apparently this is the time to celebrate old friends' new beginnings!

 

Kim, one of my good friends from back in high school, is getting married next month, and this weekend was her Spring wedding showers (yes, plural--there were two) and bachelorette party!

The showers were very different from one another--the first on Saturday was more formal at an adorable tea room (I still wore jeans lol), and the second on Sunday was more laid back at a yummy Mexican restaurant (margaritas and fajitas...yummm!).

 

Saturday night was the bachelorette party--and obviously, I'm not going to divulge any of the going-ons here!

Suffice it to say it was a BLAST and, even though I was DD, I'm still recovering!

After all, it's been years since I could run for 48 hours on 5 hours of sleep--so today I slept til noon!

Of course, the best part of the weekend was getting to catch up with Kim, but a very close second was getting to see and catch up with Lori and Megan, whom I haven't seen since graduation back in 2003!

Oh. My. God.

It's been almost 10 years.

 It was also a blast meeting the other girls--all of whom were Aggies! WHOOP!--and getting to go out and live it up in celebration of Kim's upcoming wedding!

 

On top of all of that, Andy and his fiancee are in town from California!

Andy was the one who performed our wedding ceremony and who, along with Mark, happens to be one of Bryan's best friends from all the way back in 5th grade!

Tonight, Mark and Alicia and Andy and Iman are all coming over to the house for dinner and hanging out!

It's going to be so much fun!!!

That said, I was gone all weekend, which means my house is a wreck!

So there's definitely a lot to get done today, even if I did sleep until noon.

I didn't mean to--we have Ti and Abby back this week, so I was sure that Haley and Annabelle would wake me up by 10 AT THE LATEST to go play with their best friends.

 

My puppy-alarm did not go off lol.

 Now, the pups are all passed out in their favorite places in the living room.

Which makes me feel back for what I'm about to do---which is kennel them all up and pull out the vacuum!

 Bring it on, messy house!
