A weekend for the guys

So last weekend I told all of you about my bridal shower and bachelorette festivities. It was a great time, and I am now fully recovered from my "fun" over the weekend. Well, guess what...it's T's turn now. Yep, the big bachelor party is set for this Saturday. And T couldn't be more excited. Truth be told, I'm pretty excited for him, too. See, unlike me and my glory days in college, T was pretty tame. He went to a local college and lived at home with his parents. He worked his butt off for six years and got his bachelors and masters in engineering. That being said, I do know one of his huge regrets is that he didn't really go out and have fun a lot in his college days. Since we've been together, I've tried to change that, exposing him to a whole world of new experiences, but I can't really pull of a guy's night out. I lack several pieces of equipment important for that, and while, yes, I can drink beer and eat wings like any other guy, I'm simply not one of the guys. So he'll be able to experience a bit more of that this weekend.


My older brother is planning this excursion for T, God help us. No, I'm actually being a bit dramatic about that. I'm very happy that my brother is planning this for him, and I'm sure it'll be an awesome time. They've got their "guy" activities all planned out - go-carting in the afternoon, dinner at a local microbrewery, and then hitting the bars downtown. T's Dad and brother are making the trip from Michigan to attend this weekend, and I know that T's super excited to have them here. They'll be coming in Friday night and staying until Sunday morning. We try to see T's family as much as we can, but they live about 5 hours away so that can make it difficult at times.

Since our house will be full of men, I am hitting the road and staying with my parents for the weekend. We're doing some wedding stuff, getting my dress for the rehearsal dinner, working on the bags for guests at the hotel, getting the bridesmaids' gifts, etc. I feel bad leaving T for the weekend, but at the same time it'll be great to get this stuff done and also to let him have a guys weekend, just him and the boys. He deserves that.

I'll also be helping watch Roo, since my sister has a work conference to go to on Saturday, so that should be nice. Just a little Nainy and Roo time would be good. I'm sure I'll be regaling you with stories of that next week.

Just a thought to ask you all out there in blogland...how would you feel about a guest post from the man himself, T? It's an idea I've been toying with, and if you all ask nicely, I'm sure he'll oblige :-) I just can't promise you what it'll be about. I'm sure lots of math and engineering stuff. Cars, tools, you know, that kind of talk. Things that make me want to poke my eyes out.

Have a good weekend everyone!
