On Saturday, Rowan and I attended Crystal's Shower/Bachelorette party, okay we only attended the shower, but we saw Crystal get all prepared for her last night out as a non-married woman. The shower and dinner were at Crystal and Garrett's house, we had sub sandwiches (yum!) and plenty of sides, opened gifts (some appropriate for Rowan's eyes, and some not!) watched a fun little video of Garrett answering questions about Crystal, and then it was time for us old married women with children to go home and the rest to board the bus and head to the bars. I decided that I wasn't quite ready for the bar scene for a few reasons, #1 I am not really ready to leave Rowan for any period of time (thus she was at the shower with me when I could have left her home with Ed) #2 the whole breastfeeding/pumping issue, can't go for more than 3-4 hours without emptying via one way or another, plus drinking alcohol is more work than it is worth with having to pump and dump or whatever. Not to mention, not having a drop of alcohol for 10+ months would make for one drunk soldier very quickly. So we decided to head home before the craziness began. But we are glad we attended what we did, it was a fun time, and nice to get out for a few hours. Plus Rowan was spoiled by the many women in attendance. Desiree was home for the festivities too, so she got to get her hands on Miss Rowan too!
