Wedding Showers and Bachelorette Party!

This summer and early fall were a busy season for us since my little sister got married in October! She had a shower in Dallas, one in Austin, and we also did a bachelorette weekend in Austin with all her bridesmaids!

The Dallas shower was held at the home of one of her friends that she has know since they were 5 years old. It was a smaller shower, but a sweet time and we all had a great time.

The Dallas shower was at the end of June and then in Early August, we had another shower in Austin at the home of a lady Kristen babysat for regularly for during college. She lives in a SUPER nice house and it was a fun time with some of her Austin friends.

The Bachelorette Party ended up being the weekend before the wedding in late september and we decided to rent a AirBnB here in Austin. The wedding party consisted of 9 bridesmaids plus 5 house party so we had quite a big group! A couple of girls weren't able to make it to the weekend, but we still had around 14 I think.

Friday night, everyone arrived and we had a lingerie shower at the house! My cousin made some cookies and they were amazing!

Saturday we had a big breakfast/brunch with waffles, overnight oaks, casserole, basically a ton of yummy food. Then I had us all signed up for a pole dancing class in East Austin. It was hilarious and a ton of fun! I learned that I totally missed my calling, I could have done decently as a pole dancer haha!

On Saturday night, we all went out to dinner in the domain, then went to some bars there. They actually have a pretty good night life area and its way nicer than 6th. I was totally the "mom" trying to keep track of everyone in a group that size! Everyone got home safely at the end of the night ;)

The big surprise was that Vincent came to Austin and met us at the end of dinner! That was the first time I had seen him since he came home from Korea the week before. It was sooo so great to see him. He stayed with us for the rest of the evening and was really awesome to have around for the rest of the night.
