Holli Rausch

Well, I didn’t think I’d be posting again before the wedding, but here I am. Last weekend was my bachelorette party. First we all met at Color Me Mine in Sioux Falls. Basically, you pick out a ceramic piece (anything from a mug to a frog piggy bank), then you paint it however you want and they’ll glaze and fire it (to pick up a week later). Molly and Brenna came late because of basketball practice, and unfortunately they came after their cut off point for before they close and didn’t get to paint. We’ll do it sometime when they come to Sioux Falls. Here’s a list of others who came and what they made:

Holli: decorative plate that says “DREAM”
Miles: Triceratops that everyone unfortunately made fun of but will likely turn out to be the best one
Marissa: cupcake jar
Holly: penguin bank
Bob: Science mug

Then we went out to eat at Olive Garden where we had a much shorter wait than the staff had predicted, so that was a nice treat! The food was delicious and we all had a good time. :) The night ended at the apartment where we chit-chatted with the Davidsons a little and the girls fell asleep. Thanks to Holly who planned it all!

This week has been pretty quiet and minimal as far as wedding planning goes. I took half days last week which has turned out to be almost the best decision of my life. It gives me time to relax, pack up my house, and be able to take time to go to Sioux City for friends that need to be surrounded by love. Though I got paid half as much last week, the half-days were a blessing.
