A party for Wildwoman

On Saturday 4 of us went to Grand Rapids to celebrate Melissa's last couple of weeks as a single girl. We started out going to the mall. We all realized we had nothing to wear so we needed a shopping trip. 5 hours later we left the mall and checked into our hotel. I haven't shopped like that in so long and it was a lot of fun. Now that we are old, boring moms, we just don't get to go shop like that. At 9 pm we finally left our hotel room and went to dinner. We went to a great tapas restaurant called San Chez. So good. We didn't leave there until 11:30 pm. We finally made it to the Bob, which for those of you who don't, The Bob is a big old building that has a bunch of different bars and restaurants in it. We found a classic rock band playing and hung out there. It was fun. Afterwards, we didn't feel like walking to our hotel so we hailed a bike taxi. all four of us piled on this little cart and this poor guy on a bike had to haul us 5 blocks to our hotel. We paid him extra. It was so nice being out of town with great friends. I think we should make it an annual trip!

I like this picture so much I put it on here twice.........oops.








Meliss got these fun stickers in her bachelorette gift. We had a riot with these stickers. Melissa would just walk up to people and stick them on whatever they were drinking. She is such a riot. For example, she found the biggest dork in the place and put a "slut" sticker on his beer. He didn't get the irony but we thought it was classic.





We are so happy for the bride to be even though I did buy her a sympathy card for her bridal shower. we love you and Aaron both and wish you all the best!
