Bachelorette Emily Fantasy League

Love the Bachelorette and want to make it even MORE fun? Join our Fantasy League! 


The Bachelor Facebook page used to run it, but since they're not this season... we can do it on our own!

How does this work? Before the first episode airs on Monday, May 14 at 9:30 p.m. EST, select three "gentlemen" as your team. You can pick your favorites OR you can pick based on the point list below. If one of your three team members does any of the below items (or has them done to them), you'll get the points. I know that you may want to change your pick as we go along - so that is allowed, but you'll be docked 300 points. 

AS WE GO: I will be e-mailing and posting updates so you can see where you're standing. 

The winner: Whomever has the most points at the end of the season. 

Prize: Gloating that you won a Bachelorette Fantasy League! If you live in the DC area we can all go get drinks and I'll buy you one as your prize.

Additional Rules: 
- After the first episode, everyone is allowed to swap ONE "GENTLEMAN" without getting points taken away. Just email me with your change and I will make it for you. After this, to change out any ONE guy, it will cost you 300 points (and don't forget, you can always swap even if you don't have points, you just may go into the negative). 
- If all of your picks end up going home, you are allowed to pick three new "gentlemen" however your score will not carry over so it will start brand new.

#Thankfulfor 11.29.11

- Blood donors, helping my momma out with transfusion.  Today she said she felt like she had Superman's blood in her. Thanks Superman.
- Good doctor news from family.
- My hilarious Dad. He wanted to join Facebook so he could see what we were doing and was so open and honest about it.
- Post-It Notes. We should be thankful for these on a daily basis.
- The Internet - truly making my wedding plan easy peasy.
- My fat pants, reminding me that I need to stop eating so much because they are now my normal pants.

Future Mrs. McMahon

My BFF, Mallory, made me this for my wedding dress. How awesome is she??? This will be perfect for photographs of my wedding dress and a sweet keepsake. Maybe I can dry the flowers from my wedding bouquet on it and keep it as a wall decoration? So many possibilities.


And yes, I will soon be Mrs. Meghan McMahon. M-squared. Meggie Mac (Hubs hates this one). So many nickname possibilities!

#ThankfulFor 11.15.11

- My work is sending me to Vegas tonight. How cool is that? I've never been and I'm so excited and definitely thankful for this opportunity!
- Google Calendar that integrates with my phone - lifesaver!
- iPods and Kindle's for 8 hour plane rides.
- Not flying with anyone I know so when I inevitably fall asleep and grind my teeth/ snore, I won't care (also I won't really know either).
- My family and fiance were so happy and excited for me! I love knowing I have their support :)
