Wednesday: Dave, Jess, Brian, Romo, and many others drove from Corvallis to the main house (also known as the girl's house because it was were the bridesmaids stayed with the bride's parents). It was also Jake McGinnity's birthday, the bride's little bro. So a BBQ and party soon commenced. There was hot tubbing, glow-golf, and shot-gunning of beers. There was also a giant banana.
I passed out at about 11:30, the boys stayed up late.
Thursday: We awoke to a smokey house. Even though the doors and windows were closed, the wind was bringing smoke to the resort from a wild fire south of Sisters. Mrs. McGinnity (a.k.a. Boss, yup, that's her real nickname) made "egg squishy", and fruit salad for breakfast. Soon after that, the boys and I packed up all our stuff and moved into the bachelor house, a condo on the other end of the resort. We then proceeded to organize a large river float in Bend. The boys all piled into their cars and took off while I waited for Sarah to arrive at the resort. She arrived not too long after they left, so we caught up with them in Bend. By then they had realized that a float was too much effort, so we settled with hanging out at a river front park and wading in the water.
Dave and I decided to celebrate our 2.5 "anniversary" with dinner at Deschutes Brewery (alone) and had a nice drive back to Eagle Crest together. Then more hot tub action (8 dudes, and Sarah and I in one hot tub, all at once) more beers, then bed.
Friday: We woke, some of us in a more delicate state than others, to a day full of celebrations. The boys had planned an all day bachelor party for Adam and left quite early for disc golf on Mt. Bachelor, mountain biking, eating, and other boyish activities.
As for me and Sarah... we layed around. I had a nail appointment at 11, followed by lunch with Sarah, then we popped in on Jamie (the bride) to see if she needed anything. We then all went and laid by the pool for a few hours. Then we all showered and met back at 8 for the bachelorette party! We took a few cars to Bend and started at a nice restaurant called 900 Wall. We were there for a bit before we decided to move, and it just so happened that we went to the same bar as the boys! After that the parties joined forces for a night to be remembered, and forgotten ;) I was up until 3:30ish. The boys were up until 4:50. Yikes.
Saturday: We all woke up on Saturday morning really late. (And for me that's like 10:30). The boys need to get a fitting in for their suits in Bend. So we all piled in cars and drive out. We went to lunch, then went in for the fitting. All the boys had really bad gas by this point, so it ended up a pretty funny event. By the time we had finished that, and got back to the resort, it was time for us to get all cute for the rehearsal dinner. I was considered a "spouse" in Adam and Jamie's mind, so I got to attend. It was so much fun, and I even got a few tears in thanks to Gus, the bride's little sister, when she started to talk about Adam and Jamie and their love for each other.
Sunday as the day of the wedding. It was amazing. We all cried, and danced the night away. I will miss all of those people so much, and can't wait to get everyone together again!
