Bachelorette Party continued...

I forgot to add this to my story before but after we got on the vans and left Showboat, we decided to head to the Kalahari bar for an after party. I did not feeling like going in there so I laid down on the floor outside the bar and took a little snooze. Now mind you, the floor I was on connected to the hotel so it was safe and quiet :) After a while I woke up to laughing. I look up and see six men from hotel security laughing at me. They asked me if I was ok and I said yes, I was waiting for my friends to come out of the bar. They walked on and I realized that they were laughing at me because I was laying there sleeping still holding on to that small plastic penis. I'm sure my photo is out there somewhere! Oh well we had a good laugh. 

Finally we all got on the van again, went back to our cottage and at pizzas and sandwiches. The Indian boys from next door popped over and some of the ladies went over there. Friendly neighbors! The girls told me I should go over there because there were lots of guys, but I was just really enjoying eating my sandwich and hydrating so I stayed out. It was an epic night and I think everyone enjoyed themselves the way we should! I think we couldn't have asked for a better night! 

Bachelorette Party Fun!

A little over a month ago we had the bachelorette party for one of my best friends! I was so excited! We put in a lot of work getting decorations, planning food and drink, and I even had fun making peacock feather clips for all the girls. We headed down there on Friday night and just the bridal party stayed in a smaller room at the Kalahari. We went out to dinner at Ginza - sooooo good! Then we just went back to the room and hung out. 

The next morning we woke up, cleaned up our room and headed to Devils Lake for a hike. It was a little windy but a great hike and a good chance for us girls to bond. Great idea from the bride on that one! After the hike we headed back to the Kalahari and our special mini-cottage to get changed and go to the water park for a while! It was so nice swimming, hanging in the hot tub and just letting loose together. We need to do this more often! We didn't get as much time at the water park as we would have liked but we needed to get back to start setting up the place for all our guests coming! 

People started arriving around 4:30/5:00 and helped us continue to get the place ready. I was excited about the decorations because the bride had not seen any of this happening and came down all surprised - so fun! We started out just mingling for a while and then she opened all her presents! I think it was exactly how she pictured her party :) Then after a while we started going upstairs to change into our sparkly clothes! Music got turned up and drinks poured a little faster. Since I was one of the few single girls at this party, the other girls were telling me that tonight could be a good chance for me to meet a guy. I had no intention of that as I was there for my friend's bachelorette party and we were in the Dells. I haven't met anyone good at a bar in all the time I've been going so why would tonight be any different. I honestly didn't care for that tonight - it was ladies night with all the coolest ladies I know!

Eventually we called the Kalahari and the vans came to take us to Showboat. We decided to go to the club Showboat instead of Marleys or Wett because we were looking for good music and to be able to dance and not get raped while we're doing it! Showboat was perfect - wood floors, many different kinds of music that we could dance to, and we were up on the stage most of the night! It was a blast! 

After a while I needed a break so I went down some stairs to another bar and sat down at a table by myself. I didn't feel unsafe at all so I just hung out there and people watched. Soon a blonde guy came over to me and sat down by me and asked me why I was holding a plastic penis in my hand. I laughed and looked down, realizing that I was in fact holding a plastic penis that we had used back at the resort for a ring toss game! We started chatting and he ended up telling me he was there for a bachelor party - fancy that! A girl from the party came over and asked if I was ok and I told her we were fine - he actually seems like a nice guy! We went up to the bar and got another drink and talked for quite a while longer. I learned he lives in Milwaukee and is also 31. He was really sweet and asked me "if I come to Madison would you go out on a date with me?" I instantly said yes and we hugged goodbye. I was really looking forward to going out with this guy, whose name is Nick!

I won't go into details any further, but things have been going very well with Nick and that is the story of how I met my amazing boyfriend :)

...now I just need to get him to move to Madison...hehe :)
