Carrie's bachelorette party.
The first time I've actually hung out with my sister while she was drunk. That part was quite entertaining. What was not very fun was her getting upset, me getting pulled by a couple cops on the way back (who ended up being super nice), and realizing that friends will disappoint you at all stages of life.
To make a long story short, her friends mostly didn't make the event very special for her. Basically it seemed more like we were all going out than we were going out specifically to celebrate Carrie.
While I hate that the night ended up being a small disaster as a result of selfishness on the part of some of her friends, it ended up bringing Carrie and I closer together than before. And for that I'm actually thankful. We ended up leaving Saturday night to drive back to Chapel Hill (at 4am... got here around 7am). Carrie and I haven't been alone for that long in a while...
She's getting married. She doesn't think it's that big of a deal, but it's huge! Granted, it will be more huge when she starts to have kids and things... but Carrie and I won't really be alone much ever again. Mom and I really can't just run to Charlotte to spend the night with her... because there will be a boy spending every night with her. In six weeks our lives will change drastically forever. That's craziness!
This whole wedding planning stuff is happening much differently that I anticipated when we were little kids. I'm not able to help out as much because I'm here and my work schedule has been crazy. Plus, since Carrie is pretty casual about all of this... there's not much to plan. I mean, it's on the beach, so there are virtually no decorations... not even many flowers.
I just can't wait to be standing there in the getting-ready room alone with her on that day. I get to stand beside her when she makes one of the biggest moves of her life... and I'm excited.
