Bachelor & Bachelorette Party Weekend

Almost two weeks ago already, Cory and I had a bunch of our closest friends come to Houston to celebrate with us! We hung out as a group mostly and had tons of fun, but on Saturday night, the guys and the gals parted ways and had our own fabulous parties.
The girls planned a Penn State style pre-party for me at the house, and then a limo came and picked us up for a night on the town! I had some fun bachelorette attire and we all had our penis straws in hand! Here are a few of the more tame pictures from the night. Missing are my dear friends Carolyn from PSU and Jaime from H-town, who were sadly unable to join us for the festivities. But don't worry gals, we had enough drinks to cover you ;)

Here's me with Heather, Alicia, Beth, Allison, Lisa, Lauren, Nujoud, Jody, and Lauri. Not surprisingly, these are some of the only blog-appropriate pictures ;)

Thanks for such a great night ladies! I truly couldn't ask for better friends!

These wonderful ladies also had a bridal shower for me, so here's a pic from that of everyone (except Lauren because she took it), plus Jen who wasn't at the b-party, and Sydney, Beth's too-cute daughter.

Of course the guys didn't take any pictures, because, well, they're guys. But we hear they had a great time too, with lots of alcohol had by all. Here's a pic of all the out-of-towners who were staying at our house. From left: Dan, Jody, Lauren, Ben, Allison, and Heather. You know those weirdos in the front ;)

Thanks so much to everyone for celebrating with us! We can't wait to do it again at the wedding!!!
