The fun began on Friday night after everyone arrived to the house. That was the night of the lingerie shower!!! But first...us girls had to get some food in our bellies!!! Jenna and Kayley brought taquitos, enchiladas, and chips for dinner and Kayley made her famous corn dip to top off the delicious Mexican food. All of it was so good!!! There were also lots of tasty cocktails to go around. Jenn (Abbie's almost sister-in-law) made a yummy drink mixed with Crystal Light pink lemonade and rum...it was delish! And of course...there were margaritas! You can't have Mexican food without margaritas...especially when it's at a bachelorette party!!! After we ate, it was time for Abbie to open up all her goodies!!! She got TONS of super cute stuff and we had so much fun watching her open everything up! Oh...Jenn had also filmed Justin (Josh and Jenn's oldest brother) asking Josh questions about him and Abbie. It was hilarious!!! We talked and laughed for the rest of the night and finally went to bed around 12:30. There was a full day ahead of us on Saturday...we had to get some beauty rest!!!
Saturday began pretty early...due to our internal alarm clocks! I woke up around 7:30 and heard Jenn, Abbie, and Abbie's sister, Amber talking downstairs. So, I headed downstairs to join my fellow early risers! They had been up since around 7:00...so we just laid around in the master bedroom until everyone else started waking up a little bit later. Misty had been up even earlier than the rest of us and had gone to the store to get some goodies for later that night...and make a McDonald's run! All of us are pretty much all alike...we wake up hungry and need coffee in our systems ASAP!!! Around 9:00, Jenn and Abbie's moms came by with the breakfast goodies...and coffee!!! It was such a delicious spread of yummy treats and the coffee was to die for! They brought us sausage balls, a breakfast casserole, muffins, scones, danishes, fruit, a frozen fruit slush to drink and Dunkin' Donuts coffee with Italian Sweet Cream coffee creamer. Holy yum!!! I'm a huge coffee drinker...so as soon as I got back to Abilene, I made a run to the store for some DD coffee and Italian Sweet Cream coffee creamer...my mornings are just so much better now that I have that to drink...thank you Sandra!!! After breakfast, the weather was warming up, so we headed out on the boat dock to relax and lay out a bit. Sandra and Connie came out with us for a little bit and then headed back home to get ready for that night and leave us girls to our crazy selves! The weather was supposed to be a little chilly...so some of us (me included) came unprepared to lay out. So we had to lay out in just whatever while the other smarty pants had their cute little swimsuits on! Oh well...bras and panties work just as well as a bikini!!! Plus it was all girls...so no big deal anyways! We laid out for awhile and about 3ish we headed back in to get ready to go out that night. Jenn had made dinner reservations at Reata, a delicious steakhouse in Ft. Worth. Before dinner, Josh and Abbie's parents came to pick everyone up and took us all downtown to hang out a bit before dinner. There are lots of fun things to do and see in downtown Ft. Worth...so we made the most out of it and had a blast! Dinner was amazing and we may or may not have played some really fun games! After dinner, we headed out to celebrate the bride-to-be and give a toast (or a few toasts) to her pretty self and her upcoming wedding! Saturday was a blast!!!
Sunday morning was pretty close to Saturday morning...early risers just can't ever really sleep in! Sandra had brought over these delicious cinnamon buns on Saturday morning that were for breakfast on Sunday morning. I'll tell you something...I love Abilene...but it holds no candle to the amazing eating places that the Metroplex has to offer! They were amazing...like melt in your mouth amazing. I've never had a cinnamon bun like this one. It was coated in cinnamon and sugar instead of the sweet icing on most traditional cinnamon buns. I'm debating copy catting that recipe...that may be my first summer food project! The sweet mommies came over again with our survival drink...coffee!!! Coffee and cinnamon buns...it was a delicious Sunday morning! I have to say that Sandra and Connie are two of the sweetest ladies that I know. They are so loving and caring and are like surrogate moms to all of us when us when we're with them. It was wonderful to have them there with us those two mornings! We had to pack-up, clean-up, and be out of the house by 11:00. So after we ate, we did just that. It was sad to say goodbye to such sweet girls after such a fun filled weekend full of laughter, gabbing, and celebrating a precious friend who is about to be one of the most beautiful brides! We love you Abbie...can't wait to watch you walk down the aisle and become Mrs. Harrison on June 9th!!!
