Girls Gone Wild!

September 25, 2008 By Dusty Rogers 19 Comments

Our girls weekend getaway was a hit! It was so much fun to finally meet my “online friends” in real life! It’s hard to believe we could cram so many laughs and so many memories into just one short weekend, but we did it! I got to meet my old Nestie friends halfofvamh, TheBryansWeBe, JennaRx (formerly 2005brideBU), jannypie, mandybeth01, alygator1, stephm0188, egrwifey, and a new friend Steph W. Oh yes! And how can I forget–a guest appearance was made by the lovely DawnMG as well!

The party started on Thursday night when Allison (halfofvamh) drove from the Twin Cities to Madison so we could fly out together. It was my first Nestie sleepover, which was so neat! The next morning we had to get up at 3am to start our day of traveling. We chose Ohio as our get together destination because of its central location. Once we arrived, we met Steph (stephm), Steph W, and Janny (jannypie), and the 5 of us excitedly waited for the rest of the girls’ flights to arrive! Janny made funny signs to welcome each of them. And in keeping with our lovely nicknames for each other, I couldn’t resist wearing this T-shirt (click to enlarge) when we greeted the girls at the airport.




Aly (alygator1) and Beth (TheByransWeBe) arriving!




G&D and TheBryansWeBe–together at last!


Time to kill = time to drink! And time to teach the girls my “hooker” hand signal. Janny’s got a good little hooker on her!




Jenna (JennaRx/2005brideBU) arriving!


Emily (egrwifey) is here!




Dawn (DawnMG) was unable to attend, so she shipped us a package to be opened once all the girls arrived on Friday. Our surprise package turned out to be Dawn’s face on a stick and a bottle of champagne–so sweet! And OMG, we loved our Dawn on a Stick, lol!




The next morning we had to get Dawn on a Stick ready to face the day. First makeup, then hair.




Emily (egrwifey), Allison (halfofvamh), and I in the back of Steph’s (stephm) car on our way to explore Columbus!


Janny and Emily posing by a Christopher Columbus statue…and then sneaking a peak underneath!







Spotlight on Allison!


Pic 1: StephM dancing with Dawn on Stick in the park. Pic 2: Emily and I are SUPERSTARS!




Pic 1: It’s a G&D sandwich! I jumped on Aly and then Em jumped on the both of us and started smacking my ass, lol! Pic 2: I was catching flack for my lack of accessorizing so I started wearing one of Allison’s necklaces (not to mention her shirt sleeves that she had cut off) and later raided all the girls’ bags for their necklaces. From no accessories to over-accessorizing in under 5 minutes!




Beth (TheBryansWeBe) and I enjoying some of Dawn’s champagne and laughing so hard we nearly lost our bladders!


Later when Beth left to go back to her hotel room to get ready for the night I stole her camera and snapped pictures of myself for her to find later, lol!




Girls Night Out. Me, Allison (halfofvamh), and Aly (alygator1) all set to go!




Pic 1: Sexy Beth. Pic 2: Me with the unbelievably adorable Steph and Jenna. Not to mention a little “hooker” sneaking it’s way in the picture, lol!




Emily (egrwifey) and I in a cab, heading back to the hotel at the end of the night. This girl is so gorgeous that I can’t belive I don’t hate her.


On Sunday morning we had breakfast with the local hubbies and babies! Pic 1: Steph M and her adorable son Adam. Pic 2: Mandy (mandybeth01) and her beautiful family.




Saying goodbye was the hardest part–there was lots of crying and lots of pouty lips.




Hope you like all the pictures–I know there’s a lot, but I had such a tough time narrowing it down from the 100s I have. We had such an incredible weekend–I just love these girls!!
