NashBash

Also known as, my sister-in-law Lauren's bachelorette party in Nashville!

This weekend was an absolute blast! I could not have had a better time celebrating the beautiful bride-to-be with her aunts, my mother-in-law and fellow bridesmaids. Here's a glimpse into our fabulous bachelorette weekend. Congrats, Lauren!!

After a long drive from Indy, we arrived at our hotel and quickly went for dinner.

Bride and her bridesmaids!

We opted to stay in Friday night, as we had a very busy day Saturday, beginning with a tour of the Grand Ole Opry. I really enjoyed the tour, and that's coming from someone who doesn't listen to country music regularly. Though I do love the show Nashville!

Name twins!
The gang (minus Leslie, who graciously took the picture!)
The famous circle!

Rayna's dressing room on Nashville! Loved seeing this one!

After the tour we went on a historic Nashville pub crawl, complete with trivia, ghost stories, fun facts and history about the city. It was a great way to see more of Nashville and actually learn a few things too!

First stop!

End of the pub crawl (and with the other group of girls who went on it with us)!

We returned to the hotel after our pub crawl to get ready for the evening. We played bachelorette games, ate tons of food and snacks, and then went out to celebrate our bride. Lots of dancing and laughing ensued, and it was a perfect way to round out our day. 


Beautiful bride with beautiful mom and aunts!

"Love" it!

After breakfast Sunday morning we journeyed back to Indy. It was a perfect weekend, and I can't wait for Lauren's wedding in less than two months! We love you!


On a side note, I have to give a HUGE shout out to my sweet hubby who has been beyond thoughtful this week. He ran all my errands and picked up dinner Monday night so that I could focus on unpacking and getting the house back in order (I'm a spaz!). Then I came home yesterday from a long day, and he had cleaned the entire kitchen, including hand-washing all the pots and pans that I'd neglected for a few days. To top it off, he went out last night and got me a McFlurry because my heartburn was unusually bad. Very blessed girl over here, who is oh-so-thankful for her hubby. Men...take note! :)

Now and Then


Does anyone remember the movie Now and Then? It was my absolute favorite growing up. I remember my sister and I would hop on our bikes and ride to a little strip center in town. We'd get some subway, TCBY and then pop into Blockbuster, usually to get the same movie - Now and Then.


It also had nothing to do with my then-crush on Devon Sawa. ;)


The film still holds sentimental value, so whenever it is on I have to watch it. I was thinking about that movie after my weekend. Saturday night was my friend Deborah's bridal shower. It kind of combined my two groups of college girlfriends and sorority sisters - the Indy bunch and the Chicago bunch.  We had an absolute blast, and it just reminded me of how much farther we are from college, but what wonderful memories we have then, and continue to make now.

I don't remember the last time we were all together, besides my wedding maybe. I dug through some old pictures of us in college, and I've included a few here, along with the pictures from Saturday night.

Love all you girls!
