The State Fair was from Thursday, August 23, 2012, through Monday, September 3, 2012.
To see my post all about that you can go

September was the start of fall for us which always means things slow down. I, for one, was looking forward to things slowing down a bit.

My sister Amie, joined Trajectories at school and was in a short play. So Kate and I went to watch and support her.
Amie selling concessions beforehand.
The short play was based off the Hunger Games. It was a funny twist on the book and Amie did such a great job.

I had my cousin, Tara's bachelorette party this night. I had so much fun and drank a wee bit (too much).
We started out at friend's house with apps and games.
This is me with Tara's older sister, Nicole, who is also getting married in April. I am a bridesmaid in her wedding and am so excited!
Here is the bride and her Mama.
After some fun at the house, we went out to dinner at Cocina Del Barrio.
The bride.
After dinner, while waiting for our limo to arrive we enjoyed some drinks shots.
If you can't tell, we had so much fun in the limo.
We headed downtown and played Jenga at Pourhouse.
Some of the girls waiting outside for the limo to come pick us up to take us to Uptown.
Poor Tina had too much fun too early.
This is Brittany and me. We were the two Mom's of the group. Love her!
I had so much fun and made some great new friends!

I went with my friend Falen to a painting class. I had never done something like this before and I really enjoyed it a lot.
We were going to paint 2 canvases. These were the examples that they had displayed on the wall.
My progress on canvas 1. I never claimed to be an artist!
Falen and I painting!
With friends Dave and Allison with our finished products.
Our whole group!
What was fun is that it was at a little coffee shop in Burnsville that also served wine and food. So not only was it fun painting with friends and trying something new,but we had great food and wine with it. I would definitely do something like that again.

Today we had Tara's bridal shower. It was some of the same girls from the bach party, along with other friends and family members. We broke into groups and made veils with craft items.
Hailey, helping Tara choose the winner.
My team's won!! We made a W (her initial) on the back with pink lace with some other embellishments.

We then had a delicious brunch and watched as the bride opened up all her lovely gifts. It was a perfect way to end the month and I was looking forward to her wedding in October.
