Bitter-sweet

With the end of one chapter, my dad reminds me, is the start of a new one. Last Saturday, Giancarlo and I had our engagement party which was also going to be the last time that I was going to see my family.. for a bit. GC's parents flew out for the party, and it meant the world to have them there, as well as all my family. It was their first time ever in California, and they stayed in Laguna Beach. I think they will be back before GC and I make it back! Nicole, my cupcake princess, did an AMAZING job getting everything organized. She's my little Martha Stewart, even though Nicole, I don't think you look like her!

My little hostess-with-the-mostess will certainly be missed. I also need to thank Jefe for putting together our little slideshow presentation. (I'm hoping I can leave up the youtube post ;)) It's very special because GC and I met while working Jack Johnson. Who knew!? A lot of hardwork and love went into creating the event, and I'm thankful for it all. You all will be missed greatly, and I can't wait to see everyone in ITALY!!!!

A prayer for mi familia

This week has been a devasting week for my home town. The wildfires in San Diego County have been the worst since I was a sophmore year of High School. I pray for Sherri and my father, who's asthma is so bad he can't leave the house even when asked to leave because the smoke is so bad. I pray for my uncle who is the Chief Firefighter helping to put an end to all this. My grandma who lives alone and all my friends back home, their families and loved ones who have evacuated. It's hard being so far away, and so helpless.
