MKE BParty w/ my ladies:)

holy hell. I had my Bachelorette Party. It.Was.AWESOMEEEEEEEE:):) I really can't say enough about it. SO I'll let the abundance of photos below do the talking. These may be repeats if you checked out Facebook cause I do plan to put a few up there so the ladies have better access to them. But otherwise...this is it!!!

UP lady Carrie, me and cousin Neen chilling outside of Club Charlies. GREAT place to start and end the night!

DOWN more chilling.

UP we also walked around the Third Ward in the afternoon. They have a great Public Market, where we had some lunch and a margarita:) I suggest this to anyone looking for a nice afternoon of browsing...it's just a really great area of the city!

UP/DOWN the rest of the night was just good ol' fashioned...clean...fun:) Nothing too crazy. And though this picture may scream otherwise...it was really pretty laid back!

i just want to thank everyone again. It was such a fantastic day/night and I am still freaking surprised every time someone goes out of their way to help with this wedding and be there for me. Just coming ALL the way to freaking Milwaukee for my BParty was SO much to ask and I just love that everyone made time to be there with me!:)

24 more days:)

xoxo

good name. good place.

my BParty is officially 65 days away and in my over zealous fashion...I've got it prettttyyy much planned out. Just need to get around to ordering my crown (obviously;) and then all will be ready!

we're spending an afternoon and night in Milwaukee (MKE). And not just any part of MKE but The Third Ward. It's got everything I love: little cafes, bars with great personality and music, a market...with wine and margarita's available in the afternoons:) and everything within walking distance. SA-Weet!

our first stop of the night: Charlie's. It's freaking perfect for what I want for my BParty.

I'm not much of a dancing queen (although I've been known to move my body on dance floors in ways not many have seen;)...so this place is perfect. It has a completely chill and laid back vibe with amazing tunes. It'll be the perfect place to begin our night!

UP jacob and I visited Charlie's for the first time, while visiting his sister in MKE...for the first time! Thanks for introducing us to Charlie's Renee:):)

DOWN jacob and I. Such a good night:)

PS. i've had some great luck with dealing with Dawn, from Charlie's. She seems very upbeat and excited about the ladies and I coming down for my BParty...she even added this:

"...as for your party...FABULOUS. Would love to have you all here. When it gets closer, give me more details. We like to create a drink in the honor of the future bride!..."

for REAL YO'!??! I get my own drink?! It's like I've been waiting all my life...for this moment;)

me daily.

i'm playing a bit of catch-up here, so bare with me!:)

here's what we've been up to the last couple weeks and they too, have been great!!!!!

baby Drew was baptised:)

UP all the kiddo's had a 'special' part in the service.

DOWN baby drew is smiling:)

UP we went to Milwaukee this weekend to visit Jacob's sister, Renee. It was an amazing time. A shiat ton of money was spent but seriously...no shakes, no day-after guilt...it was a great time from start to finish:) THANKS NAE!!!

here me and Jacob are outside my new favorite bar in MKE, Charlies:) - this bar would surely be a stop on the BParty. Fabulous atmosphere!

DOWN our first stop in MKE was Riverfront Pizzeria (not the official site, couldn't get it to open). It was SO good. Best bruschetta EVA'.

UP/DOWN some MKE scenery:)

UP more of MKE. Also...thinking I loved it SO much that it's definitely in the running for potential BParty location:)

DOWN we ended our weekend in MKE with a night at a little Mexican joint, Las Palmas, watching a cover band, Failure to Launch. They make me seriously regret not considering a band for the wedding:( SO good! The keyboarder(?)/keyist(?:), Megan, is a good friend of Renee's and such a festive person! Love her already!

UP pals at the end of our Saturday night!

to wrap things up. I love Milwaukee. JACOB loves Milwaukee. I think he asked twice if we could move the wedding to the Third Ward in Milwaukee (where we frequented while there). And if I thought we could somehow make that happen AND get that band...I'd be on board;)

oh, and we were also able to visit some great friends on the way home, Kent and Holly. They have a new home and a baby on the way AND an engagement and it was amazing to catch-up with them. Laughs, laughs, laughs. When we left I asked Jacob if he really thought Kent was THAT funny or if that seriously crazy, hard, scary laugh was his 'fake laugh'...but apparently he just enjoys Kent's stories THAT much;)

PS. Kent's freaking hilarious, for real yo'!!

hope you all had as great of a weekend as we did!:)
