With only with 30 minutes to go before the first group of ladies arrived, Casey said "make sure to get rid of all the extra estrogen before I come back" (he spent the day at a distillery) and as on que, the Spice Girls started playing on the 90's Pop Spotify list and Katie-Beth and I broke out in dance.

Let's have a good time and this is the perfect excuse for a party as any. :) Currently four seats left in each [...]

Wow, what a weekend! My house is still a mess and the car is only half way unpacked, but we're slowly getting back to our daily routine. The drive from DC to Pittsburgh is really beautiful!

I had no idea Pittsburgh was so hilly? How do people drive up and down those [...]
