"this is where 'cool' comes to die"

This weekend I traveled to Charlotte, where my incredible Maid of Honor had planned the BEST Bachelorette party EVER. I was literally lavished with attention and spoiled rotten by all of my wonderful friends. After lunch, pedicures and a POLE DANCING class (ha!), we went to dinner where I received some very beautiful and thoughtful gifts and then spent the rest of the evening out on the town dancing and celebrating. I had the best time and enjoyed every second I spent with my friends.

Julie, my Maid of Honor, is the most selfless person I have ever met and, along with my other friends, spent weeks ahead of time planning the perfect weekend. Not only did she put everything together, she actually paid for me the entire time and devoted all of herself to make sure I had fun. And honestly, I don't even think I deserved it! I can be ..ahem... a pretty bad friend at times. I am absolutely horrible at returning phone calls, and am not really the most thoughtful person in the world. I don't even know what I did to deserve Julie, but thank you GOD! I honestly don't know what I would do without her.

Sometimes I can get very self conscious about making new friends here in Texas. I always wonder "Will they like me?", "Will they think I'm fun?" and while I have been very lucky to meet a handful of really fantastic girls here, I also always know that my friends in Charlotte love me for me and it means so much. I hate being away from them and while it really, really, REALLY sucks to leave them I know that anytime I see them we will have as much fun as we did this weekend. Whether we are sitting around just talking, or practicing lap dances at Pole Dance Charlotte.

Julie, Christine, Danielle, Rosie, Megan, Kim -
I LOVE YOU GIRLS SO MUCH!!! Thank you for everything.
