Cowgirl Bachelorette Party

What a great party!

We started off the night with food and drinks in a party room at the Holiday Inn Express.
My Aunt Vickie had provided more or less a FULL BAR! She brought her own glassware, shakers, premixed drinks, sugar and salt rims, it was great! Then we had a little surprise visitor! Who would have thought, my mother and her good friend, Roya Blevins bought a surprise stripper!? I was SHOCKED to say the least and I think the other 25 women in the room were as well. Thank goodness it was good clean fun, as I told Jordan "He left his panties on!" Haha! It was more fun for me when he finally started dancing with other people!

Then I opened gifts, Naughty Nightie Party, again everyone was so generous! Thank you!

Then it was onto the COWGIRLS PARTY BUS!
Thankfully we thought ahead and took Jello Shots with us on the bus.... not sure if that is legal, but we did it. The reason I said thankfully was because it took us like 45 minutes to an hour to get from the hotel in Meridian to Cowgirls in Kuna. We were stopping all over the place picking up groups of people! Like I said, thankfully we thought ahead and brought Jello shots with us to help us pass the time!

COWGIRLS! Well let's just say we danced the night away, sang Meat Loaf, the DJ didn't understand this request, but once got started he enjoyed it! About half way through the 8 minute song he brought his microphone down to us. We were going back and forth, ripping the mic out of his hands, singing our guts out of course.... there is no other way to sing Meat Loaf, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights! When the song was over and we were all trying to catch our breath the DJ told me that was the coolest thing he had ever seen and that about half way through the song he put us live on the radio. I am sure anyone listening to 103.3 quickly changed the channel but we were so excited!

We found a few cowboys here and there who could swing dance pretty well, but most of the night was spent dancing with the ladies, circle style or simply just rocking out together. I have to say the DJ was great, the group of ladies that helped me celebrate are FABULOUS, the night was just AWESOME!

We safely made it back to our hotel at about 2:30am after closing down Cowgirls, it was a successful night and one for the record books!

THANKS LADIES! The group of women MADE THE PARTY! Love you all!
