BACH

I spent the weekend in Palm Desert with my girlfriends. They are insanely cool. Multiple times during the weekend I wanted to pinch myself. Other times I wanted to cry from laughing so hard. This was the first big meeting of some of my college friends and my high school friends. I am thrilled it went so well. I am glad they are all basically entertainers and could make each other laugh. They laughed like dolphins, you could say.

The first night, we went out to probably the only club in Palm Desert. I know this because there were at least three other bachelorette parties in attendance. Saturday we spent the morning at the saltwater pool playing the question game and then Saturday afternoon we practiced wedding hair. (Did anyone get wedding hair photos?)

Saturday we went to a chop chop place with a rad, but fast-moving, chef. And then we got back and talked and talked and talked (while obsessively playing words with friends … with each other.)

It's hard to put a finger on why friendships work. I never understand, but will be forever grateful, for the ability to just pick right back up where you left off. I am blessed with great friends. And I was so happy to spend the past weekend doing nothing but loving them.

    I’m so glad you had such a great weekend! 🙂 We’re doing an east coast version of this for my best friend (since 8th grade!) in June. You can’t beat a great group of girlfriends. They’re the rock you need in life. Truly. Old friends are best friends. No matter how long it’s been, it’s so easy to pick up as if you were never gone. 🙂
    So close lady! April 24th is right around the corner!!!

    I’m getting really excited waiting for the Big Day! So much more classy to call it a ‘bachelorette party’. We call it a ‘hen party’ in the UK.
