Ian's Bachelor Weekend

Ian hit the road last night with some buddies to head up to Snowshoe, WV for his bachelor party weekend.  There are a total of 17 (yes - you read that right, seventeen!) guys going this weekend to celebrate with him.  They've rented a big house and they'll spend the long weekend skiing, snowboarding, and having an adult beverage or two.

Of course I had to give him a little surprise to get the weekend started off for him:

Yes, my friends, that is an industrial-sized laundry basket filled to the brim with all sorts of goodies - 2 bags of Kettle Chips, some Cool Ranch Doritos, 3 boxes of Nutri-Grain bars, Nabs, Rice Krispies Treats, cheese balls, Snickers, Reeses, almonds, beef jerkey, Tom's Hot Fries, Star Crunches, some Powerade Zeros, and - of course - some Advil.  I swear, I've never bought so much junk food in any given year of my life as what I purchased in one store trip yesterday.

When he first got home from work I told him I had a surprise waiting for him on the counter and he was shocked to see this!  He was so happy and thankful and excited to show the other guys.

I know it won't come close to lasting them all weekend, but it should get them off to a good start.  This weekend while the boys are away I'll be getting together with my mom, my aunt, and my youngest sister (whose boyfriend is on the same ski trip) for a relaxing weekend at our lakehouse. 

By the way -- tonight is my first wedding dress fitting, and I'm ecstatic!
