On Tuesday Tyler drove me out to Pleasanton so that way I could ride with Megan down to Cayucos for the bachelorette party. We had an entertaining three hour drive, where Megan and I got to know each other a lot better. We talked about college, our summer so far, teaching, and of course one of my favorite weekend activities, drinking.
When we got to the house we met up with the bride to be Nicole, Kristin, Paige and Kaelyn. Then Kimmy came and met up with us too!! We started by playing a long game of Phase 10. It was a good ice breaker, and a fun way for us to start the trip. After we finished our long game, with Nicole winning, we got ready to go out to dinner. We went to Nicole’s favorite Mexican place, Lo Lo’s, and shared margaritas around the table. We did a toast to Nicole to start off our trip. Then we went to the grocery store to buy wood, and smore stuff. Nicole got upset because I took her ATM card away from her so she would stop trying to pay for stuff. That girl is crazy thinking we would let her pay for anything!

Our first night together!When we got back from our little shopping trip we all changed into sweats, sweatshirts, and socks with our flip flops. Yes, of course we were styling. Then we headed out to the beach to build our bon fire. Nicole started digging the hole, and then we headed back to the house to get the drinks. :D By the time we got back the fire was going, so of course Nicole was a little sad that we missed the lighting process so she picked up the lighter fluid and got a little happy. We sat around the fire for a while just drinking, chatting, and making smores. We had an awesome time, until someone turned on their spot light up at their house, and we could see all of the sand crabs crawling all over the beach!! We got freaked out, buried our fire, and ran back to the house for cover. When we got back in the house we realized the bags that had all of our stuff in it were moving, so we threw them outside because none of us wanted to find the sand crabs to take them out!! We started crawling into bed, but Kristin, Megs and I stayed up to watch Jon and Kate, so sad.
Nicole and Megs ready for our bon fire!
Wednesday morning we woke up and sang happy birthday to Megs!! We had breakfast at the house and then tried to figure out what to do for the day. We decided on shopping and lunch at downtown Slo, so we were off. We did a little walking around, and hanging out. Had an awesome lunch at Firestone, and Nicole found her robe for her wedding day. After we were done shopping we went back to the house to hang out and wait until our big night out. We watched 27 Dresses, and then watched E for a little bit. We also had some Sex on the Beach. The best bucket I have bought! One bottle of Vodka, some sugar, water, and eight hours later, a delicious drink!
We enjoy a little sex on the beach!
We headed out to dinner around eight, and went to this place that had moose heads on the wall. None of us were that hungry, so we really just had some appetizers. Then we headed across the way to our first bar. There we all started with Cherry Bombs! Not as good as a jager bomb, or cactus cooler, but a good first round drink. Then we made Nicole and Paige do blow jobs!! For sure it was funny to watch!! Then the bar tenders made Megan and I get on the bar so they could take the shots though!! Everyone in the bar was watching! Megan and I took a gummy bear while we were still sitting on the bar, I need to find the recipe for that, because it was DELICIOUS! Then we headed over to Mother’s where there were live bands playing. They had some good music. Then the MC called us out and these two guys came over to buy Nicole a drink. Overall we had an awesome time at the bars!
Our night out on the town!
Cherry Bombs!!
Gummy bears!
Cherry Bombs!!Gummy bears!Thursday morning we woke up, and went for a walk on the beach after we cleaned up the house. It was a good way to end the trip, as we were all strolling down the beach, and just reflecting on the week, and what was coming up. While we were walking we almost stepped on a crab!! Nicole ran away because she hates crabs! Then we all drove back to Fresno to begin preparing for the wedding! When we got back Megan and I ran around and did some errands with Nicole. While we were getting ready to go Kristin came in and told us Michael Jackson had died, so then we had to turn on the news to find out what was going on!! It was crazy because then when we were driving around every one was playing tributes to him. Even the tanning salon was only playing Michael music!
The little crab!
Our last day together before the wedding starts!
Friday Megan and I did some more running around in the morning. We had to take our dresses into to get steamed, and we had to run over to Victoria’s Secret to pick one last thing up for Nicole. :D Hopefully it is getting some good use this week while they are on their honeymoon! When we got back to Nicole’s house it was time to head out to the wedding venue to begin setting up for the wedding! We carried everything in, and started setting up the tables and candy. When we were finished we ran home to eat lunch and get ready for the rehearsal and dinner. We drove back out to the wedding site and had a quick rehearsal!! We were off to the park for our dinner and softball game. It was the Steller team against the Lampe team. It was a very close game, considering the guys thought that they were going to destroy us! The Lampe team won the game 4 – 3! We won thanks to Dominic, who hit a home run! After the game we tried to go see Transformers, but the next showing was going to be at 10:30, so we just went home to help Nicole finishing packing!

Wedding party!
Saturday morning we woke up bright and early to start our days. We got our nails done at 8:30, and then we went back to Nicole’s house to hang out before it was time to head out to begin prepping. We left around 12:00, and headed out to get ready for the big day. We had a lot of fun hanging out in the locker room, all of us getting ready together. We had two girls come in to do our hair. While everyone was getting ready Megan, Kaelyn and I took Jon his present from Nicole. We had a fun time watching him open it. It was a very cute present, and I’m sure he loved it! After we got back from giving him his present it was time to get dressed, and go take our pictures. The girls went out and took some pictures, and then we had to hide again. Then it was 6:25, time to line up. The ceremony was beautiful, and my favorite part was when Bret pulled out the stool for Nicole to stand on to give Jon his kiss at the end! Once the ceremony was over it was time for some more pictures. Then it was time to party!! Megan and I had an awesome time at the reception dancing the night away! Eleven came way to early, and we had to say goodbye to our newlywed friends!! They went off with a BANG in a model A!
