this time, last year

i had my last minute bachelorette party with all my favorite ladies.

we had a lingerie contest,

and painted our nails

it was super chill. we had a blast!
& because we stayed up too late, we wended up falling asleep on eachother.

and behold, it was good.

this time, last year III

this time, last year. 

we went swimming, again. ross decided to cut his head open with his knee... lifeguard lauren to the rescue!

then we went to dinner at joe's real bbq. yummay!
i loved swiping ribs off my then-future-husband's plate while he was in the restroom. {smile}


& then my girls & i had a cray cray sleepover. i love each one of my ladies so much! i am so grateful they each came down from there various states to be there for me & trav on our wedding day!
while on our sleepover, we laughed & laughed.

and laughed.

and then we just hung around.

{pun absolutely intended}

this time, last year II

this time, last year.

travis & his groomsmen were still reminiscing about their adventures in vegas,

{his groomsmen definitely called me while in Vegas and kept saying "We lost Travis! We can't find him anywhere! He won't make it to the wedding!" Basically, these kids watch the Hangover WAY too much!}

and their ultimate roadtrip.

& we also went swimming at Jilly Bean's house. like erryday.

i had so much fun with these nubs. i had been planning, working out, making wedding things for the entire summer but once my boy came to arizona... i let go. it was so nice to just play and be carefree the week before our wedding. all the fun got me so excited for the loveliest day of my life!

this time, last year.

this time, last year.

travis came to arizona after a long, 5 month separation/engagement. and i introduced him to a cactus.

and we got up early early early early early early early the next day to take our bridals with Annie Randall.
