So I'm writing this almost a month later and I'm somewhat forgetting the details but I drove up from Atlanta because I had a job interview earlier in the day and on my way up I decided to stop by a grocery store to pick up some beer... well after wandering around the grocery store in circles, it suddenly dawned on me that there were still "dry" counties in Georgia. So I asked a person who worked there and they confirmed my suspicion... they did not sell alcohol in that county and the next county that did sell it was my destination city and the prices are always jacked up in that town. So no beer for me. Only a few of the girls had made to Helen because several had to work on Friday and were driving up later. I arrived to a few of the girls having started drinking quite early and attempting to make dinner. The house was somewhat lacking in certain utensils so I ended up helping make pizza dough and rolling it out with a cucumber.
There was a house next door that was being rented as well and the girls told me that there was a bunch of guys throwing a halloween party and they said they were going to invite us over to later. Little did I know when I heard a knock on the door what I was going to see. i figured it was some of the girls arriving and when i said come in and then nothing happened i came to the door to find a very large baby outside the door... a man dressed as a baby. Since the girls had told me they had seen a guy dressed like a baby earlier I thought they were expecting him so I yelled to the girls that there was a big baby here, and the girls thought it was our friend who was pregnant at the door. I think they died out laughing after they heard me say that and then found a young man dressed as a baby at the door. That was the joke of the weekend.
We had a wonderful night once all the girls got in. I had made breakfast that morning... I saved some of the orange marmalade rolls I had made earlier in the month for this occasion and brought them up and reheated them and served mimosas for breakfast. Nothing like waking up on a crisp morning in the mountains to Mimosas... or atleast I think so.
It took a bit for 11 girls to get ready but we packed sack lunches and then headed into downtown Helen, GA for some shopping. One of the girls spotted an old timey photo place and we all decided to have our pictures taken in saloon girl and cowboy outfits. It was so much fun getting dressed up and the pictures turned out great. Such good memories. I think most of us were worn out by the end of this and we all came back to the cabin to take a nap and to freshen up before going out for Clare's night on the town. We had a fun time at the Troll Tavern in Helen and crashed not too long after getting back to the cabin. We all ended up going to mass in Cleveland, GA on Sunday morning and then I started my drive back home. The rest of the girls ended up going to the Cabbage Patch doll museum/hospital which was not far down the road from the church. So that pretty much concluded the weekend, I am so excited for Clare to be getting married and I can't believe now it's only 1.5 weeks away.
