The Weekend

Today is the start of a very bust weekend! I'm leaving for work in a few minutes and then when I get home I have to get ready for one of my best friends rehearsal dinner. She is getting married on Sunday!! And though I am very excitied, I feel very overwhelmed!!!!

Saturday morning I have errands to run, packing to do, and organizing to accomplish.. Then, Saturday night Erika & I are spending her last night as a single girl together. I am sure we will cry, watch movies, laugh, cry, eat, cry, enjoy being with each other, and cry some more. She has been engaged for the past year and a half and we have been preparing ourselves for this day! And I am very happy it's finally here. And I am even more happy and honored that I will be right by her side when she gets married. Being a maid of honor is a big honor and I am so happy that she has choosen me!

I am taking a Bloggy break this weekend due to the craziness of my life, LOL.... But I will be back Monday with updates and lots of pictures from

the wedding weekend....

I hope you all have a great weekend.....

Bachelorette Party Here We Come

Today I am off to my friend Erika's bachelorette party. I am the maid of honor and I have planned this whole event.. I am also very excited that Danielle and Heather from New Mommy Rant will also be attending this party - WooHoo!! Party Time!!

We are heading down to Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City for dinner followed by an awesome party!

We are having dinner at Polistina's Italian Restaurant

(which is seen below)

Followed by drinks & dancing at The Pool...

When the lights go down in the city, Harrah's Resort comes alive!Live out your fantasies with us and check your coat and your inhibitions at the door. Xhibition and Eden are their exciting bars located in the heart of the marina.

I reserved a Cabana(they are set up poolside with a flat screen TV, a table, 2 chairs, and a couch. We will also have bottle service in the Cabana so we don't have to wait on the long lines at the bar) for us girls so we can have a nice, relaxing night! What's really fun is that you can bring your bikini and go swimming at night!! There is DJ and dancing... So I'm sure it'll make for a fun night!! I'll be sure to take tons of pictures and post about it after the weekend!!

I hope every one has a fabulous weekend!

What's Your Opinion?

OK - So we all know that my brother recently got married and that I'm in my best friend Erika's wedding next month.Well, my friends and I were chatting at work yesterday about the appropriate amount that should be given when you attend a wedding.. One of my co-workers is going to a wedding Saturday night - this sparked a conversation! We had TOTALLY different ideas about the proper gift amount - they said I give WAY to much $$..

So my question is this - what do you feel is a proper or appropriate amount that should be given for a wedding gift? I know it varies for family members or how close of a relationship you have with the person getting married; but I just wanted other opinions on this topic!

engagement rant!

If were with our boyfriend for awhile stop asking us when we are getting married. Don't you think we'll tell you when it happens. Quit asking - it annoys us!

Grr.... That's what I got all night at the wedding... Geez....

And if I was married they'd be asking "when are you having a baby." Guess you can never win, LOL!!!

If this keeps up I'm just going to tell people that we're married and they weren't invited to the wedding.. Maybe that'll get 'em!

The Big Day!!

So - the wedding was sooooo much fun.. I am happy to say that everything went pretty smooth and the weather was PERFECT, they couldn't have asked for a better day.

And yes, I'm happy to say that my dress worked out!

I was so happy it was short - it was easy to dance in!

It was a very fun and relaxing wedding -

I'm happy that my sister-in-law was not a Bridezilla! She was so easy going through this whole process - and we all know that Bridezillas are the worst - so I'm happy she wasn't!

The food was great - the music was fun - drinks all around!

My family had an awesome time, especially

the Bride and the Groom! They got married at the Baltimore Museum of Art and had the reception in the restaurant that is attached. They close down for the night and open it only to the wedding and their guests. The Museum had the most amazing grounds I've ever seen.. They had this huge gated park with sculptures where we took lots of pictures.

It was so great to be with my entire family this weekend. We really enjoyed being with each other for my brother's wedding!

I couldn't have asked for a better weekend

or

to be at a better weekend!
