Party in a Bar

I have had the privilege of attending some pretty great parties lately.

This is one of the many things that comes along with getting married that really rocks. I have enjoyed some delicious meals, yummy sweets and fellowship with amazing friends and family over the past few months.

I even got to ride in a stretch Escalade limo (thanks to my amazing maid of honor for this idea) last weekend at my bachelorette party!

I have had a recipe saved on foodgawker for a while that is certainly worthy of a party: Cake batter bars.

Wow.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind.

I have driven home to Hot Springs and back twice in the past two weeks (once in the worst rain storm for 4 hours). I got a terrible chest cold for one week plus...and my apartment has been an absolute mess in the midst of everything.

But, I would have to say that I have had some really great times in the past few weeks, too. I had an amazing brunch wedding shower, a fantastic bridal portrait shoot at Garvan Woodland Gardens (the amazing botanical garden where we're getting married), and I got some good hours hanging out with family and friends back home.

And even though I haven't spent a legitimate amount of time with my fiancee in the past few weeks, we are getting married in a MONTH, and that's enough to get me through the craziness!
