.:Blessed to have such great girls in my life:.

Put on your dancing shoes and let's go to CHICAGO!!!

Post Topic: Bachelorette Celebration in Chicago, IL

The Bad: I got a terrible rash from my plant. Apparently, my house plant, which later I found out is a dumb cane, that I have had for 4-5 years, is poisonous! Yes, I cut some leaves off and the sap go on my arms. The poison gave me the most terrible, burning rash ever. I felt like my arms were going to fall off at one point! I cried to the fiance about it. Long story make it short, it's better now and I am soooo happy!

Roy's Hawaiian Restaurant

The Good: The girls and I got back from Chicago for my Birthday/Bachelorette weekend. It was absolutely amazing. The food, the company, the hotel, the weather, and nearly every was great. I'm so thankful to have Lia as my Bridesmaid/MOH. She is the kindest, smartest and greatest person of all. She thought of everything from surprising me with a cake to bringing Skinny Girl. I'm so glad I did it in Chicago and that weekend. I totally needed it to forget about the stress of the wedding and my ugly rash!

Thank you girls for a great time!

I'm now 27 years old. I've learned so much over the years, experienced the goods and bads. I know there will only be more to come as life goes on.
