But more about my stagette! Friday night we had a chill night at my moms place, where we had a passions party and sleepover! So cute, right!!! My best friend and maid of honor Amie flew in from Grande Prairie to attend, and I am so glad she did. We all had such a good time! Saturday we woke up to such a delicious breakfast (all gluten and lactose-free... I have the BEST friends!). Ps. did I mention that 2 of my bridesmaids are celiac, and my other good friend is too? That, combined with my weird lactose/preservative/FOOD intolerance, makes for a great time at restaurants :)! After breakfast we baked in the sun for a bit, we went to a burlesque dancing class! The instructor oozed sexy, and introduced us to the proper strut, which we obviously did for the rest of the night, including walking into open sesame, our amazing dinner location. I haven't been there in so so so long, and I forgot how much I love their scallop and veggie stir fry you make on your own. YUM, I want to go back, now!
After the delicious supper we headed to a Ranchmans line for 40 mins (no line no cover my ass... we only got no cover!). Once we got inside the party really started, and we danced the night away, closing the place down (I wouldn't let ANYONE leave until we did that, apparently). The best part... I actually LIKED the outfit they put me in, when does that happen on a stagette?
It was super cute.. and I got to wear my sexy leather skirt to boot. My "Future Mrs. Pavier" tank was so cute, as were my bridesmaids' purple "Team Kaylee" tanks. It was a great sendoff, and made me excited and motivated once more to plan more wedding stuff! I had been on a hiatus for a while, but I'm re-amped now. I have the best friends. Period. Although, not all of the could make it, the ones that did really made me feel like a special bride! Holy crap, sometimes I still can't believe I'm getting married! 6 weeks until I'm a Pavier.
Another thing that is taking up, say ALL of my time lately has been our house reno's. I feel like I have zero spare time to do anything these days.. so sitting down to pay the bills (and blog apparently) today really has given me a much needed break. We are almost livable, just needing to finish the island and countertops, then we just have little things like trim and painting to do. It's super exciting to see what it's actually going to look like, instead of just picturing it in your mind. Here's where we are at!
Exciting for sure, and not as dark as it looks in the picture! We sure are working hard to get this done as quickly as possible. And little tiny me even installed flooring! And demolished a bar, and painted, and so much more. Apparently I'm a carpenter, painter and floor installer. A right Mrs. Fix-It. ha, kidding. But I sure am liking the way it is beginning to look, or at least, that we have walls again! haha.
Well, I must get back to my bills and overdue library books (oops!). 6 Weeks and counting, man.. I have to practice my new signature. I use it everyday at work a million times! Here's my customary quote about my life. Of course with our stag/stagette being on my mind (thank god I'm working this weekend...), I chose our love story as inspiration...
"Once in a while,
Right in the middle of an ordinary life,
Love gives us a fairy tale."
