Dear Family & Friends,
As we approach the 2 week mark, Doug & I are spending one of our last weekends with the guys and the girls! I just got back from an AMAZING trip up to San Luis Obispo. Doug's mom threw me an INCREDIBLE shower (more info to come in the next post). Right now I am sure Doug is having so much fun with the boys. :) We are so incredibly blessed first and foremost to have such an amazing family. They are a GIFT FROM GOD! We were so lucky to have our families involved in this weekend! Thank you so much family for being so amazing, supportive, and wonderful. You are truly making this time so special! Check out the picture to the left. This is us before all of the festivities. Im wearing my princess outfit, getting ready for the spa & festivities, while Doug was geared up to go snowboarding & do other fun this with his brother & dad and the boys!
A little bit about Beth's Bachelorette Party:
PARTY TIME... that is Beth style. So everyone knows that I am incredibly naive and innocent. The girls treated me well and we did this weekend with such style and class! I would like to say a very special thank you to Miss LORI HWANGBO! One of my bridesmaids, Annie, got horribly sick and had to hand the reigns over to Lori, one of the other bridesmaids, to put this weekend together. After Annie had worked so hard to put together invitations and coordinate this weekend with Lori and the girls, she came down with three different types of sicknesses and she could not be with us this weekend. :( Annie, you were missed, but NO WORRIES! The party was a HUGE success and we all wish you could have been there! So THANK YOU Lori for working so hard to make sure everything went perfectly. I could not have imagined a more classy & elegent bachelorette party! I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!! I would also like to thank my soon to be sister-in-law for flying all the way down to help make my party so SPECIAL! :) We built some serious memories and I AM SO EXCITED TO BE A PART OF YOUR FAMILY! :) I would also like to say I LOVE you to JULIA, my SISTER!!!!!! I miss you so much! I cant wait for the days to go by until I see you! We will have our own party when you fly in! YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME AND YOU WERE BACHELORETTE PARTYING IT UP WITH MY FROM (your) BIRTH! Thank you for all those years! I LOVE YOU!
Kelly flew in at about 11:45 in the morning. She had a bit of a fiasc
o at the airport, but she got here safely and was, of course, the life of the party from the moment that she stepped off the plane! We went straight to the airport to Glen Ivy Hot Springs in Corona. There we met my wonderful girlie friends: Lori, Sandra, Alissa & Beth (Ms. Vieira). It was so appropriate that on the way to the spa I got a call from my childhood friend and older sister Jillie! The spa was so much fun. We lounged around in the sun, went into the mud pool, baked in a mud rock area, sat in (smelly) mineral water, soaked in a roman bath, and steamed it up in a fabulous steam room. It was such a fun and girlie girl day! After the spa we headed back to my parents house for the rest of the evening festivities. At the spa I warned the girls that they would be entering what our family has come to know our house as- WEDDING CENTRAL! Sure enough, the girls came over and were amazed at all of the wedding stuff! Kelly described our house to her mom like this "It's a mini Michaels!" Kelly is not overexagerating. Let's just say my dad is so ready for this wedding to be here so he can have his house back! But I digress.

But I digress. We met some of my other very close friends back at the house. Lori went off to Trader Joe's to get some very special items to eat and drink. Sandra & Alissa met us back at the house. Soon after my very dear friend Heather arrived. Shortly after her came 
Kristin. And then FINALLY after a year and a half came my very best friends from High School, Pia & Porscha, and my WONDERFUL & AMAZING roomie from sophomore year, Kaneesha! My very best friends from High School (who really should have been bridesmaids too. In my heart they are... ), Pia & Porscha were able to come ALL THE WAY DOWN from the BAY AREA! Thank you girls so much for coming, it meant the world to me. :) You both are so special to me and I love you so much! :) I know that you will ALWAYS be friends that I will value, love, look up to, and cherish! :) Its crazy that we have come this far in our lives... that Pia will go off to law school, Porscha to Europe (probably with the Peace Corps). All I know is I have been so blessed to have you in my life! I would also like to say a very special thank you to Kaneesha as well. She REALLY came through for me in a time of need. She and her current roomie Amber let me live with them for a couple of days when I was "homeless" in San Diego. It was such a good time and it made me miss the good ole days in L-6. I LOVE YOU GIRLS and GOD HAS TRULY BLESSED ME WITH YOU!

I LOVE YOU GIRLS and GOD HAS TRULY BLESSED ME WITH YOU!At the house we had some good old fun! We ordered Mexican Food from my favorite local restraunt CUCAS! Just in case you didnt know already, we will be catering out Cuca's for the wedding (as well as Ono Hawaiian BBQ and Diane Kline and Cheryl Smith's culinary delights!). We were able to sit around and talk for hours. After talking for a long time, we opened presents. The girls were pretty tame with me, since they knew how traumatized I would be from this whole event. Overall, I would label it incredibly classy just like all of the women in my life! :) I must say, that the end of the night really topped it off. Before Kaneesha went, she prayed over me. I KNOW that God is going to bless this marriage to Doug and continue to bless my relationship with these girls. Growing up and leaving college has been a pretty rough transition. Doug and I are no longer accustomed to the days when we used to be able to walk a few feet and see a billion people. It is much harder to see friends these days. I know this weekend meant so much to us. As I talked and laughed with these girls I remembered so many memories and good times. Thank you ladies for helping to share in these new memories as I approach my life as Doug's wife! :) Even though Im going to be married, I am not going to be non-existent. You all are welcomed over to our house ANYTIME! :) Doug & I both love you very much and we count ourselves blessed to be able to call you friends!
A little bit about Doug's Bachelor Party
Doug's section will be very brief until I actually talk to him tomorrow. I know very little about his weekend (as it should be). What I do know (besides that he loves me very much... hehehe) is that his dad got in safely yesterday from the Bay area. Doug said they got some semi decent (but no Cucas) Mexican food from Redlands before heading up to Big Bear to hit a night skiing/snowboarding session! The boys, Doug, Jeff & Rich, had a blast together. Jeff, Doug's brother & best friend, put together this wonderful weekend for Doug. Originally he booked a cabin up in Big Bear, but the rental people failed him and sold the cabin they were supposed to rent. In spite of this minor speed bump, Jeff pulled it all together and made this weekend so incredibly special and memorable for Doug. Doug is a family man (which is one reason I love him so much). He was bouncing off the walls on Friday with excitement! He was so stoked to see his dad and be able to spend time with both him & Jeff! Doug is also a rugged man. He was more than happy to spend some quality time in the great outdoors. Of course, Doug is always the first to sign up for adventure and a little bit of danger. Thank the Lord the boys made it through the night session safely! Doug then took his dad back to "our" house where they crashed for the night. I think that Doug took his dad to breakfast at Norms, an OC hotspot.
Today's agenda was pretty packed as the boys went hiking at the Laguna regional park area (I believe). After that they were supposed to head out to dinner and then Dave & Busters. :) Steve was texting me today saying they were up to no good in MY house (j/k). I hope when I return the place is in one piece...lol... j/k. There will be more on Doug's party soon. As soon as I get pictures from Rich, I will update them as well. For now, you will just have to look at my handsome soon to be husband with me in the picture above.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE OUR BACHELOR/ETTE WEEKEND SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With LOVE & EXCITMENT,
Doug & Beth ... bachelor & bachelorette for only 14 more days! <3
