Weekend at Bernies

So over the last few weeks we have both done the tradition Bachelor and Bachelorette party with our close friends. I went with my best man and another good friend. She went her best woman and 2 other pals. Overall it seemed like we both had a good time. I am sure that names where changed to protect the innocent and some minor details where left out to save some feelings. I am OK with that. I don't think she did anything I wouldn't do.

My weekend was a great drunken barn dance. We had all intentions of remaining "low key" on Friday night but that went to hell quickly. I think that all went to hell in a hand basket once we arrived at a strip club where they were selling 50 cent beers and $1 well drinks. YIKES. Go ahead and put that fat kid in the chocolate factory. I felt like Augustus Gollop from Willy Wonka. You know the part where he sees the chocolate river then falls in. Well I fell in! However, that pipe I was sucked into didn't lead out of any further adventure. The adventure continued. I can remember being cut off or thrown out of a bar 3 times. The first time I was in Yuma, AZ at 19. Being from Cali we thought we can go drink legally in AZ since the drinking age was 18. It was 21 in CA. Well I went on overload and got cut off. The second time was BS. A large group of us were at a chain restaurant and were cut off because our group was loud. To bad for them we left after we got cut off and continued to party. They lost a few hundred bucks over kicking us out. Which brings me to the present. YES I got cut off in a state where alcohol is promoted BIGTIME. Man I must have been drunk. That's a story to tell my grand children isn't it? I was shocked when the guy offered me water. I guess I was a big ole pickle.

Well at any rate I survived the weekend in Reno. I did learn that even in the middle of partially naked women and a lap dance I was so happy to be marrying my sweetie. Sure there are woman who may look hot for lusty eyes but I always remember a saying I heard, "No matter how good a girl looks, someone is tired of her shit". My girl is so much more than I could ever ask for. Smart, Beautiful, Caring and Understanding. Finally someone that understands me! There is no doubt I am doing the right thing. More to come more frequently as the day draws near. 25 days and counting. For once I don't have a song to relate to this. Maybe next time...

It's been a while....

You know what they say...No news is good news. Things are still starting to chug along in life and with the wedding plans. My list of critical dates is getting shorter and my stress has also shrunk.

This weekend is my bachelor party. My best man and another associate (frequent party friend)are heading to Reno. Its not Las Vegas but then again I think we would OD on fun in Vegas so this is a great alternative. My fiancee is a worried about this weekend since my Best man and I tend to get carried away at times. She has made me a list of simple dos and don'ts. I have been given the standard guidelines. NO CRIME or PROSTITUTION. I can do that! It has been nearly a month since I have really partied may ass off. The last time I did was on February 11th. It was plain ole ugly. My Best, his wife, my fiancee and I went to do some wedding stuff in Fresno then planned a nice dinner to end the evening. It was my best mans birthday (an excuse to party). Needless to say we got carried away...again. Many shots later I was gone. I didn't even make it through dinner. I can always tell how good (or bad) of a night it was by my wallet. I looked in my wallet and found that I had spent quite a bit of cash. YIKES!! Anyways, this weekend should be interesting. Ill post more on this weekend trip after I return.

As we approach my wedding day (April 22) things are in cruise control. I cant believe that we are almost there. I cant wait. I am not sure there ever was an easier time of this. Sure from time to time I do get stressed or worked up but overall things are still smooth.

I never realized a wedding would take so many decisions. Well we are in the home stretch and life is GREAT.

On the way to work I thought of my sweetie as I listened to John Legends "Stay with you". It captures the way I feel about us being together forever!!
