chapter 9: BACHELOR AND BACHELORETTE

HOME 1

We first stopped and stayed the night with our dear and darling friends: Liz and Josh. They fed us delicious homemade burgers and fries.
(which we took vigorous notes about to use with our new fryer I got for my bridal shower)
They set us up for the night and were phenomenal hosts. We adore them.

HOME 2

The next morning we headed south a few miles to my brother's house. It was so wonderful to just relax and chat while Ben and I partnered up to save the human race from vicious aliens in the latest Halo.
(Halo 3... 4... 5... I forget which it is now. Like the Land Before Time - impossible to remember how many there are)

Secrets! After we hung out for a few hours, Dustin took Ben away for a secret meet up with Jason. The boys headed off for Laser Tag for a surprise bachelor party hosted by the future brothers-of-Ben. They had a blast, taking top 5 each round. My man - THE SHARP SHOOTER.

Adrienne stole me away to meet up with Rachel where they snuck me off to a trapeze gym! We did a warm up, and then attended a beginners class for circus-performers-to-be. We were taught tricks on silks, the trapeze, ropes and hoops. It was a total bast and nothing I had ever done before. I was proud of myself for being able to do everything the instructor showed us - if with, perhaps, a bit less grace.

My sisters: GENIUS.

We then met up with the boys for a fancy dinner. I was excited to be reunited with Ben again, even though it had just been a few hours, and that night, we dug into ritzy burgers and sushi. Perfect.
Thank you to our brothers and sisters for their incredible thoughtfulness and brilliant ideas.
