mariah's wedding took place at alpine park and garden in columbia, mo.

the venue had a place for the bridal party to get ready. 

we put on our make-up, curled our hair and drank mimosas to prepare for the big day.

I am on the red-eye to Kansas City, Missouri to fulfill my bridesmaids duties.

Show-me-state, here I come!

I am/will be exhausted but the adrenaline is pumping.

On another note, I celebrated ONE MONTH at TOMS yesterday.

One Month!!!

Time flies when you're having fun and working with the most incredible people in the world.

Despite their faces...they truly do like me.

(I hope...)

I can honestly say I don't think I have been this happy in such a long time.

I am so stinkin blessed.

Life is just so good!

mariah's bachelorette partayy.

 In September, one of my best friends will get married.

As with any engagement, comes a bachelorette party.
...and a wedding shower.
...and a panty party.
We, the bridesmaids, decided to make it an all in one weekend.
We started the afternoon off with a wedding shower, followed by a panty party which morphed into her bachelorette party.

3 bars.
15 girls.

We started the evening out at a piano bar in Columbia, MO.
Followed by a country bar with a hugggge dance floor.
They had a Jason Aldean impersonator and he invited us all up on stage.

The last stop was a local bar.
Mariah has a beautiful voice and so they allowed her to come up on stage and sing.
I think she will be famous someday.

I loved being reunited with my two best friends from college.
Mariah was the first girl I met at NW.
She met Natalie.
We all became roommates.

These two girls know me better than I know myself.
I just love them.

Do you see all of those panties?
33 to be exact.
Oh, and Mariah has five bridesmaids, not 15.
The bachelorette party was a combination of friends, family and bridesmaids.

Can't wait until September 22nd when she ties the knot!
