Meanwhile, on the East Coast...

My brother is getting MARRIED!!!

With all this traveling, I've really missed my family. I felt truly blessed to be able to be at the bridal shower and bachelorette party of my soon-to-be sister, Rebecca.

We had a luncheon in Philadelphia to celebrate the bride-to-be, complete with delicious food, nice conversation with family and friends, and of course, the ever-so-popular bridal shower games.

Question: Why is it that everyone becomes so much more girly at a bridal shower? So much "ooh"ing and "ah"ing that just doesn't happen in real life. Estrogen-levels peak when the gifts are opened, and everyone marvels at the new things that the couple will use to build their home together.

I tried to get in on the hoopla. "Wow, those dishtowels will look really great with your...toaster?"

Maybe I'll just stick to taking pictures.


Beautiful bride-to-be with her cake!
Some of my cousins! Jaclyn, Me, Missy, and Kari
Three Generations: Mom, Me, and Mom-Mom

:) ! they are so in love!!!

Family!
Next, we surprised Rebecca with a bachelorette party in Atlantic City, NJ! 

Atlantic City: Boardwalk with a sea breeze and prime people-watching opportunities...Young, fun, slightly sketchy crowd... Lots of cheap bars and dance clubs, reeking of cologne and poor decisions. The perfect location for a bachelorette party!

After getting upgraded to two executive suites, we hit the town for a delicious dinner and dancing the night away...

Congrats, Rebecca!
