Ross and Christina's Wedding July 11, 2009

I had the opportunity to go to my friends wedding in San Diego a few weeks ago. We've been friends for over 3 yrs now and met in a way that most girlfriends do NOT meet. See, I dated this pilot when I was a flight attendant, years ago. About a month after we broke up he started dating Christina and I started dating one of Christina's friends. We had heard about each other for months and it wasn't until after we both broke up with these guys that we finally met! Our friendship was instant. Soon after we met, she took me to Vegas with her roommates and we bonded and have been friends ever since. I just absolutely adore this girl and am so happy she has found her perfect guy! She met Ross on LDS Link Up. I know, kinda cheesy but how else was she supposed to meet the most perfect guy for her when he lives in Scotland? Yes, he's from Scotland and even has the Scottish accent. He' so perfect for Christina and we all love him!

Laralee (my sister) and I flew out the night before and stayed with one of my dearest friends who lives there, Daniella. I was disappointed that Alan couldn't come with me but it was fun to have a girls weekend! On drive from the O.C. to San Diego we past (and this in no exaggeration!) over 100 cop cars and motorcycle cops escorting a Hurst. They had stopped traffic to get through and as we past them, this is the shot I got. I couldn't get all the cop cars in a row but it looked so cool! We swear up and down it was Michael Jackson's Hurst. Who else would get such treatment in Cali? Not to mention 2 limos right behind the Hurst.I swear it was him and I'm sticking to that story! ;)

Christina and Ross were sealed in the San Diego Temple. It was the sweetest sealing I have ever been to (besides mine, of course!) It was touching to see these two looking at each other with such love and the spirit was so strong that day. I was so sad Alan couldn't be there to experience that moment with me. Here are a bunch of pictures outside the temple...

The newly married couple! Isn't she stunning? Of course she is, she models!

This one is my favorite picture!

Thank you Christina and Ross for letting me be a part of your special day! I'm so happy you found each other! Love you both!

Boys will be boys!

My little brother Dayne and his college buddies have this new obsession. They get in their swimsuits and head up this trail in Alpine which runs into a lake. They get speed going down this trail, fly in the air and do a back flip or jump in this lake. Check out the video they made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXcKkgZ36hk I guess boys will be boys! Well 2 days ago they decided to do it again. Dayne hadn't had any sleep and wasn't feeling all that great (that is his excuse anyway :)) He was headed down this trail and his bike hit a little bump just right and stopped him dead in his tracks. He went flying over the handle bars and skidded down the trail (no shirt on) breaking his clavicle and getting some pretty good road rash. I just hope he's learned his lesson! He is doing better and is recovering well.

When this happened, he called me on his way to the hospital to come be with him. I felt like a horrible sister because I was at girls camp. It was so hard not to drop everything and go be with him. Dayne is 8yrs younger than me so I feel like a mom to him. Anyway, I called Alan and Alan being the best husband in the world dropped what he was doing and spent 4hrs in the ER with him. Now that is a good husband! :) Check out these pics...

In so much pain but somehow finds a way to flex. Dork!

T3 Workout Video Shoot

Here are a bunch of pictures from our workout video we shot last week. Can I just say what an amazing experience this was? I worked with the best team! They were all so nice, funny and encouraging with each other.
I worked with some of the fittest people I've ever met before! Surba, my friend who put all this together (it's his baby) put us all on a very strict diet a week out. We lived on chicken, fish, raw almonds, egg whites and lots of veggies. I think we were all so focused on our diet and worried about what we'd look like on camera that we didn't think about how hard the workouts were going to be. If you know Surba, you wouldn't expect anything less from him. As we sat and watched them film the first segment, we all panic and started eating donuts, bagels, cookies, etc.. for energy to get through them. These workouts were tough! Of course the hardest one I was in we had to keep re shooting because either it wasn't right or ran out of tape. I got pretty bruised up on that one. My hips were all bruised and swollen. It looked pretty funny!
All in all, it was an incredible experience! I'm so honored I got to be a part of this and can't wait to see the video when it comes out! If anyone wants a really tough workout to get them in shape, T3 is what it is called. Check it out!

Here we are most of us, being super cheesy

This is day 2 with the rest of the crew

I know some of these are blurry but I thought they looked pretty cool




I felt like I was so super cheesy but the camera men kept telling us if we felt too cheesy, were doing it right. I guess we were doing it right!









Our buff camera crew. They were so much fun to work with!
