Mr. and Mrs. Johnson








This weekend, one of my best friends, Gigi, got married to the man of her dreams, Josh Johnson. I was lucky enough to be one of the bridesmaids in their wedding and stand next to Gigi as she said her "I Do's". We had a blast getting ready that morning at Gigi's parents house. Then we all got in a limo to head to the Muckenthaler mansion. When we got there, we all put our dresses on and then helped the bride get her dress on...all 50 pounds of it... :) Gigi looked so beautiful!

Their wedding was absolutely beautiful! I started crying as soon as Gigi's "walk down the aisle" song started...she looked so happy! The ceremony was so special since Josh's dad was the officiant. I think all the bridesmaids were crying! After the ceremony, it was time to party! We were all starving since we hadn't had much to eat. The dinner was so yummy! I think Alyssa and I cleared our plate in 5 minutes! After dinner, I got to hang out with my fiance and some of my closest friends. We had a lot of fun dancing and watching Josh and Gigi dance together as husband and wife. All day, I made it a point to focus on Gigi's wedding day without thinking too much about my upcoming wedding...so I could make sure I remembered every minute of it. However, when it came time for the last dance, I danced with Andrew and I couldn't help but think about how excited I am for our big day!

Congratulations you two...I can't begin to tell you how happy I am for you both and the life you have ahead of you. I know God will continue to bless your relationship together as Husband and Wife. I look forward to spending a lot of "married couple" times with the two of you in the future. Your wedding was beautiful...Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day. I love you both!

A beautiful day...









I took today off work and hung out with one of my favorite girls...and my two favorite little guys. Kristy, Braylon, Jaxten and I went to Dana Point to go to the beach. When we got there, we were the only ones there! We tried to lay out and relax but of course all Braylon really wanted to do was walk down by the water and throw rocks. He had so much fun splashing around in the low tide. Jaxten was pretty happy just chillin in his seat on the sand. The weather couldnt have been more perfect! We had so much fun just hanging out with the little guys.

After about two hours at the beach, we took the boys, plus McAllister (another little boy Kristy was babysitting) to the spectrum and got lunch. Kristy pushed her two boys in a double stroller and I pushed Mac in a stroller. I felt like such a mom, it was so fun! Until of course we tried to do a little shopping at one of the stores. We barely got Kristy's double stroller through the single open door and once we got in, Jaxten wasn't having it. It was a pretty funny site! The two of us trying to browse the clothes while Jaxten was crying and Braylon was running around the store. That lasted about 3 minutes...and we realized we would have to do shopping another day.We took them to the water area by Target and let Mac and Braylon play in the water. To our surprise, Braylon was scared of the water and would rather crawl across the bench...that is until he ended up in the bushes cause he rolled of the bench! Poor little guy... Mac however did get the courage to go in the water and Kristy and I were cracking up! He got soaked, so of course I had to change his clothes and wet diaper!

We finally arrived home at 4:00 and we were pretty pooped! I now know what Kristy goes through on a daily basis. Well, maybe 1/5 of what she goes through. Youre a brave women Kris and I definitely admire your strength. Thanks for entertaining me on my day off. Your sweet little boys and your marvelous mommy skills make me look forward to having kids of my own someday!

The Bachelor


Has anyone been watching the bachelor? My goodness! What an awesome season! I was a little unsure at first what I thought about some of these girls...especially since there were some pretty crazy ones. For example, Megan...what the heck was he thinking keeping that mean girl around as long as he did? I want to call her a Bitch but then I would be stooping to her level. I can't believe how mean she was to all the girls in all her interviews...Thank god he finally got some sense and booted her butt off the show! Then there's crazy Shannon. I think that girl knew more about Jason than Jason knew about himself! Can we say "stalker"? He must have decided he didn't care how good ratings were with these two nuts on the show and decided they would never be good enough for Ty (his son - for those of you who don't watch the show).

Now let's talk about last nights episode..Such a tearjerker! I mean as much as I think Stephanie needs to stay away from the Mac counter and Claire's jewelry store, she was such a sweetheart! I wanted so bad for another guy to come cruising onto the show that was about 10 years older than Jason and sweep her, and her adorable daughter, off their feet! It was so sad watching them say goodbye to her. She needed to be cut, but did it have to be that dramatic? At least now, we are down to 4 good girls. Now we have to sit on the edge of our seats until Deanna (girl who rejected Jason last season) comes back with a vengence! I can hardly stand the anticipation! Until then...go Melissa!!!


By the way, everyone can't stop telling me how much they think Andrew, my fiance, looks like Jason the bachelor. I guess that's why I was so hooked last season! And just for the record...Andrew is way hotter!
