With that said, I'll continue on. I have to say that my friends (and sister and brother) are the BEST! They went so far out of their way to make this weekend special for me and I can't thank everyone enough.
We went to Phoenix (where Chris lives) and had such an awesome, relaxing and FUN weekend. With 8 girls and a boy, you'd think that there would be drama that would ensue for sure but there was nothing. I was so happy, proud and relieved to go and let loose and forget about wedding "chores" for a full 4 days.
Friday, we arrived around 2pm. We went to the Salty Senorita to get margaritas and food and then we got to the hotel (The Mondrian), put our bathing suits on and headed to the pool to meet up with everyone else who had already arrived.
Then, we went back to the room to get ready for dinner and stopped in the breezeway outside of our hotel rooms for some quick pictures.
We went to a fancy Mediterranean restaurant called Olive and Ivy I think and almost everyone got filets and my crazy brother paid for everyone.
We went out to the patio and finished the wine, started getting crazier and then left to go back to the hotel bar where Tiffany and I proceeded to dance (and practice our pole dancing on the space heater pole....classy!).
On our way back to the hotel, we had conveniently passed "Stetson Drive" so Kim and I HAD to get a quick photo.
Saturday, we went to breakfast at a place called Cafe Carumba and my friend Megan arrived from San Diego so we bought 7 bottles of champagne, two bottles of vodka, Red Bull and snacks and went to the room to drink it ALL.
It was the only rainy day but it didn't stop me from going to the pool and doing a quick cannonball into it and from all of us from going to the pool and hanging out in the HUGE covered hot tub. Then, they surprised me with a sex toy party where the leader of it was probably completely scared of us all.
We then went back to the room and got ready to go to a dueling piano bar (my favorite!!!) and I think another bar mixed in along the way. We went back to the room and crashed.
Sunday, we layed by the pool ALL day since it was soooo nice although we didn't get many pictures of that day which was probably a good thing since I'm sure we all looked ROUGH. Judging by the look of our hotel room the next day, you can probably understand why.
At night, we went over to Chris' house and grilled out burgers and laughed at his hilarious friend Drew. We played Apples to Apples and decided that we were all worn out and were ready to go to bed. Monday, we went back for breakfast with the few remaining people that hadn't left yet and hung out by the pool until it was time to pack up and go home.
I was SOOOOOO happy to see Steve when he picked us up at the airport at 12am (with flowers!) and I know he missed me a lot too. Now, that the parties are over (except for my bridal shower), it's time to finish up some last minute details and get this show on the road! 25 more days until I will be Mrs. Jennifer Leigh Dennis!
