St. Louis

I'm going to do a post just about the VP tomorrow, but, this post is going to be all about the other things we did in St. Louis!

When we first got to St. Louis, we found SLG's house and took "the Tour".  We also chit chatted with SLG's mom (one of my favorite people in the WORLD).  Then we packed up the Montero Sport and headed to Llewellyn's Pub.  It was so yummy, and also where we got one of the best lines of the trip.  Our poor DMB got grouped with us three girls all weekend, but at Llewellyn's, the waitress walked up to him  and goes "Is that Aqua di Gio?"  Unfortunately, it was not, it was Polo Black, but I feel like it probably made DMB's day!  

After eating, we went off to see MICDS, where SLG went to high school, and to explore the city a little bit. 

When we got back from lunch, we went to the Minton's house where we were staying for the night.  We took quick showers and changed for the meet and greet that SLG's parents had planned to introduce all of their friends to us.  This was so much fun and all of the food was delicious.  I had to best artichoke dip I have ever had in my life and the hummus was also perfect.  SLG's mom also made pomegranate margaritas, which I heard were fabulous.  After the meet and greet we headed to St. Louis Country Club for dinner.  

At dinner, we saw EBH, who was crowned queen at the VP Ball and who is also SLG's first cousin.  We also me her brother and her friends from school.  It was so much fun to meet all of SLG's St. Louis friends, they were all awesome!  

For Saturday lunch, we ate at MAC, the Missouri Athletic Club, and checked into our rooms at the hotel.  After checking in, we headed back to SLG's house to begin the long night!

More Later!

VP Ball

So, my dear friend, St. Louis Girl (SLG), invited some other dear friends and I to go to the VP ball with her in two weeks.  I am so excited about it!  I've had my dress for a while (it's red with a sweetheart neckline and thicker straps), I got my gloves (white, above the elbow) last week, I've picked up the presents for SLG's sweet mother and the woman whose house we are staying at.  I've also told the others going who they need to get presents for.  My momma always taught me to never go anywhere without bringing a gift for your hosts and hostesses.  All that I have to do now is wait for my evening bag to come in.  I love it so much! 



I also have to figure out how I will do my hair. This is what is really worrying me. My hair is short, and I've been growing it out, but it's at that awkward stage where its too long to leave down, but still too short for an updo. Oh well, I'm not going to worry about it. It's SLG's big day, and all I want to do is support her in this!
