forecast calls for a shower.

This past Saturday was Stephanie's bridal shower, hosted by myself and her sister, also a Meg. Just so we don't get confused, I'll be Meg1 and she can be Meg2. So Meg2's boyfriend, a caterer, made the most amazing spread of finger foods I've ever seen. We had beef wellington pastries, chicken-stuffed cucumbers, tomato and artichoke bruschetta, tortellini and artichoke pasta salad, spinach dip with heart-shaped pumpernickel dippers, mini heart-shaped chicken salad sandwiches and red-sprinkled vanilla cupcakes. I handmade all of the decorations – hanging poms, a 'happy shower' banner, prize bags and yarn-wrapped favor boxes! We played 'How Well Do You Know the Bride?,' 'Toilet Paper Wedding Dress,' and 'Scoop the Cotton Balls!' We had an awesome time, Steph got some great gifts and she even hung my poms in her house! Happy Shower, Stephy!


After the shower, Steph got super excited and danced in her new kitchen as she put her new gifts away. Haha

the end.

viva nashvegas.

This is part two of last week's spontaneousness. Chad and I thought it would be fun to spend the weekend in Nashville, see some bands and visit with his family. After visiting with Starr and Terry, we headed downtown with Justin and Fallon, got an awesome suite right off Broadway and hit the strip with every intention of hitting each club one drink at a time. By 3am we only hit six clubs, but along the way we ran into my dad (crazy!), we saw some amazing bands, danced our butts off and spent time with family we never get to see. I heart you, Nashville.

spontaneity and the heartbreakers.

Last Wednesday, Chad bought tickets to Tom Petty an hour before the concert started. We got club seats for half price since it was so last minute which, in Philips Arena, means a good view and good food. If you know me then you know my obsession with Tom Petty. This was our fifth time seeing him and it rocked. Crosby, Stills & Nash opened. The guy next to us saw them at Woodstock when he was 16 years old, how cool is that. Oh, I was born about 30 years too late.

there's always time for a movie montage.

Everyone is wondering, I'm sure, how my too-short vacation went. You know how in The Sweetest Thing, with Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate, you have two crazy girls with nonstop inside jokes, conversations with no boundaries, dancing (in the club and on the street) and endless rounds of cocktails? Add one more crazy girl and that's us. We're the girls who refuse to pose for a serious picture. We're the girls who refuse to pay $170 for a beach excursion when a $4 cab ride takes us to the same place. We're the girls who down three mojitos and take one for the road. We're the girls who don't want to meet your girlfriend. We're the girls who would rather burn than pay 20 bucks for sunscreen. We're the girls who are completely infatuated by things that change color in the sunlight. We're the girls who turn the top deck into a fashion photo shoot. These are the days of our lives...and there's always time for a movie montage.

Ok, so enough of my serious photo shoot pictures. I get inspired when things are back lit. On to goofier things. This is what happens when you add us with mojitos + SeƱor Frogs + crazy signs everywhere + YMCA:

So who are my two besties, you ask? There's Stef. She's pretty freaking awesome:

And JoJo. She rocks my socks off:
And no matter where we are, we always have a good time.
