La Vita E Bella

AHHH I'm falling behind!

I don't know what is wrong with me. My blogging has been seriously lacking lately, and I feel terrible. Blogging is my daily, free, therepy session - and I haven't been taking it very seriously. My deepest apologies to anyone that actually cares that I've ben MIA.

I spent July 15th to the 24th in Reno. I had a wonderful time. Seeing Trei was an emotional experience for me. I hope we never have to be apart again. The thought of having to leave him until the wedding was an uncomfortable thought, and continues to be an uncomfortable way to live. I CAN'T wait to be married to him. Seriously. As you can see in this picture, our house is coming along quickly. It is so very exciting to see it's progress. We would walk to thehouse everyday to see how far along they had gotten. I can't wait to be moved in. We're SO excited.

I was so excited to see Blue! As you can see from the picture he has grown. We bought that bed for him in the beginning on June and he fit in it perfectly. Now he looks funny. I was very glad that he remembered who his "mommy" is. At first he ran right past me - but as soon as he heard my voice he turned around. That night I got no sleep. He wouldn't let me leave the garage without barking - and since Trei's parents were sleeping - I had no choice but to lay a towel out and sleep in the garage. Thank God for the bark collar we got the next day - I actually got a good nights sleep the following night. Anyway - I was glad to see him again. He really is the coolest, smartest dog to ever live. And even thought Trei and his dad would like to believe that my dog really is "only a dog". I'm sticking by my theory that he is part human and deals with every emotion possible :)

Kyle's 16th birthday was on Tuesday - so we spent tonight (Thursday) out to dinner for the celebration. Kyle is incredible - and the fact that we got to do dinner as a whole fanily was special too. There are very few of these to look forward to - especially now that I'm moving. I love my family.

Well, I don't want to jinx myself by saying that Il'l write more tomorrow. So I'm not going to say that. I'll write more when I get a free chance.

Love you all - I REALLY do. (Oh, and 14,321 people have already viewed my site. Pretty impressive!!)

Catching Up..

So it's been a good week since my last post. You blog stalkers out there are probably dying. So please, whip out the popcorn and get ready for a treat....... Since my evening with Jennifer Aniston, I have been quite busy. Life doesn't take a break - and neither do I. So I have plenty to share. Lot's of Pictures too - just click on the link below.

Rubbing Elbows with Celebrities!

I had a celebrity encounter last night while eating out with my friend Melissa. Her and I were eating at Nobu in Malibu when we noticed Leonardo DiCaprio and Giselle walk in. We didn't take much notice to them but did acknowledge their existence from our table. About 30 minutes later, I noticed Courtney Cox and David Arquette walk in and get seated. Being that Nobu is a fairly small restaurant, we were able to see their table from where we were eating - I didn', however, notice a particulary important person seated with them. Some time went by when suddenly, coming from their table and walking in our direction on the way to the bathroom was Jennifer Aniston! I'm not normally one to get star struck, but I couldn't help but stare. So I looked at Melissa and said "I'm going in". I, as non-chalantly as possible, got up from my seat and followed her into the bathroom. Since there is only one stall in the bathroom, she was waiting against the wall for her turn. I stood next to her trying to look uninterested, but secretly I was trying to check her out in the mirror without her realizing that I was staring. Eventually it was her turn to go to the bathroom, and I found myself standing in the bathroom alone - with Jennifer Aniston 3 feet from me going to the bathroom. By the way, she is even more beautiful in real life!!! When she was done, she held the door for me and said "There ya go". I thanked her and walked into the stall. Ofcourse I didn't attack her like a crazed fan, I just wanted to get a good glimpse of her. It's not everyday you get an oppurtuity like that. As I sat down to go to the bathroom, I realized the seat was still warm. I was sitting on Jennifer Anistons butt warmth. It may sound gross - but until your there to appreciate it, you can never understand the importance of something so retarded (I embellished that a bit). But for those hardcare Jen fans, I have yet to shower, so for $10 dollars you can see my butt in all it's glory!! ;) But back to reality..... it really was a cool experience. It truly made my evening. I did learn a few things last night though.1. It's fun to get excited over something as stupid as standing next to Jennifer Aniston in a bathroom. 2. Some actresses really are even more beautiful in real life - so when your mom tells you that it's all airbrushed - she's trying to make you feel good. They really do look a lot better than you. and 3. THANK GOD I'm not famous. The money is good, but being stopped by every table wanting to say hello would be an absolute nightmare.

So there's my story.

Wedding Update:

Wedding Invitations Out, and Wedding Rings In. This is so exciting!

Well, Well, Well....

First of all, 13 days until I get to see Trei. I fly up to Reno July 15th, and I can hardly wait to be there. I m miss him very very very very much - so the idea of seeing him soon makes me extremely happy.

Anyway, I got the greatest oppurtunity in the world. When I was picking up the boys on Tuesday I was talking to Diana (the boys' mom) about the fact that I no longer tutored the two little kids, and that I'm only at my dads office part time. She continued to ask if I would be interested in watching the boys Mon-Wed - knowing this would keep me from my dads office two days a week, I told her I'd talk to him and get back to her. Upon getting home and talking to my dad - it was concluded that I could easily take those days off from the office to work for Diana. Starting Monday I'll be working every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for the next 7 weeks! What a wonderful oppurtunity. Not only will I get to spend a few days a week in Newport, but I'll be watching the two greatest little boys, and making the extra money that Trei and I need in our wedding account!! I can't believe my luck! After working for my dad on Mondays, I'll head out to Newport (about 1pm). I'll spend Monday evenings, Tuesday days, and Wednesday evenings taking care of Jordan and Garrett. I'll make the drive back to LA Wednesday nights so I'll be ready for my dad on Thursday and Friday. WOW - I am so excited about this. God is SO good - he knew that I needed something to occupy my time while Trei is gone, and this is the perfect oppurtunity. Thought I'd share this great news with you all.

In other news...
Wednesday was a great day. My mom and I picked out mine and Trei's engagement picture - it is beautiful. Very original, and beautiful. I can't wait to show it off. The invitations are in, and the calligrapher did an AMAZING job. Believing they are handwritten is difficult for me, because they are so gorgeous. It makes me appreciate the smallest details. I can't wait for everyone to see them. I spoke with Robbins Brothers today, and our wedding rings are all finished! We had them special ordered a few weeks back and the jeweler is all done. Tomorrow I'll get to see them, I can't wait. I guess that's really it for now. I'll clue you all in on more as it comes about.

Love you all,
Me
