My Best Friend's Bachelorette Party

so my very best friend is getting married in one month and six days! i couldn't be more excited for her! over the weekend of august 1st, we celebrated her "final fling before the ring." we had an incredible time. michelle flew in from denver. maren drove over from omaha. i was (thankfully!) able to get some time away from work. and amy, alicia's adorable older sister, opened her gorgeous home for us girls to celebrate. and celebrate we did! see, amy had such an amazing night planned. the decorations were gorgeous, her awesome hubby cooked us a delicious dinner and the drinks were nothing short of amazing. here's a picture of the incredible decor:

pretty amazing, huh? the night started with some hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. the sangria was delicious. presents were opened. games were played. stories were shared and lives were all caught up. after dinner, and plenty of sangria pitchers later, we proceeded to throw our own dance party in the kitchen. yep, you heard me. we danced it out, mostly to the amazing tunes of michael jackson (may he rest in peace). when we'd had enough kitchen dancing, we piled in the back of the minivan and mark drove us to a couple bars in downtown davenport. this is where the night becomes a little shady:) luckily i have plenty of pictures to help me remember this amazing night. enjoy!

it's been a while...

apparently i suck at this whole blogging thing. as you can see, it's been over a year between my last two posts! oops!

tyson and i went to the PGA championship this past weekend. holy cow people, TIGER is even more impressive in person. he's downright beautiful. everyone that knows of my absolute LOVE for tiger woods would be happy to know that i mustered up the courage to let out a "go tiger!" as he walked by us on the 18th fareway:) apparently my inspirational shout didn't quite work, as he relinquished the lead to Y.E. Yang on the final day of the tournament. it's ok... i still love him.

only 13 more games left in the 2009 baseball season. the iowa cubs are dangerously close to making the playoffs, and while i'd love to see them do well, i'm secretly crossing my fingers that they come up JUST short. i just have too much to look forward to this offseason... and piling more games on top of the already played 72 just doesn't sound like fun. i'm ready for a little peace and quiet.

i'm heading back to iowa city on wednesday for a little family time. i haven't seen my parents since they got back from mexico and i'm craving a little mommy/daddy time. and a little time with the brothers. oh and that fiance of mine:o)

since i couldn't take my camera with me to Hazeltine National, i'll leave you with a picture of what i got to see ALL DAY on saturday. i know you're jealous.
