Bachelorette Party!

I realize it's taken me way too long to post about this, and you're also probably curious what I've been up to lately, but before I can post anything else that's going on, I must give you my bachelorette party recap! :-)

To put it shortly, I had a BLAST.

Before we get to the party, I'll back up and give a quick recap of the day's events leading up to party time.

The morning started with a workout led by Carrie. Sheena and Andy joined too!

2 mile run + Tabata

Workout Complete!

Sweaty and tired, Andy, Sheena, and I headed out for a grand tour of Rochester. First stop, coffee.

New Coffee Shop - pretty cool

Andy and Sheena waiting for coffee

Once properly caffeinated we stopped by Eastman so Sheena could see where we went to school. Then it was off to the Public Market!

Sheena and Andy hit up the empanada stand

MMMMMM

Yummmmm

I had some cherries

Once we'd had our fill of the Market, we headed out to Lake Ontario - Sheena desires to see all the Great Lakes, so we were able to cross one off her list! Then we headed from a natural body of water to a man-made body of water - hello laying out by the pool at Job #2! It was heavenly.

Now onto the bachelorette!

We started off at a pole dancing class. Yep, that's right. 

I have zero arm strength, so I was impressed that I made it up this far.

Elizabeth!

Carrie and Sarah!

Sheena! Who was disturbingly good...

Our instructor... this was horrifying, but made for a pretty funny picture.

A few words on pole dancing.

1) It is an amazing workout. All of our arms were SUPER sore the next day. Those girls are STRONG.

2) If you do attempt pole dancing, know that you will wake up the next day covered in bruises.

3) If I ever lose my job, I do NOT have a second career in pole dancing. Sheena might though. ;-)

Once that was over, we quickly changed... then went out for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in town.

That's a good lookin' group of ladies!

Babs and Carrie :-)

After a delicious dinner it was time for.... karaoke! Sheena is the queen of karaoke, so she got the party started.

She was so great!!

I was up next.

Obviously I sang Brittney Spears

The the biggest surprise of all...

I have no idea who that woman is.

A complete stranger serenaded me with a lovely Celine Dion song. What more could you ask for?

Tara and Elizabeth sang too, and all in all I think everything had a genuinely good time. 

Tara and Elizabeth - "I think we're alone now!"

Sarah and Kristin!!!

Towards the end of the night, someone unsuspected showed up...

Is that.... yes it is!!!

Andy Brown!

I seriously cannot remember the last time I had so much fun. Thank you to everyone who was a part of my shower and bachelorette. I had THE BEST TIME EVER!!!!! xoxoxo
