The Pink Hat Again

My mom and I posed with Richard, while he too, enjoyed the pink hat at the BBQ!

Pre-Wedding BBQ

Mike and I hosted a BBQ at our house the night before the wedding. All of the out-of-town guests came by. Ryan and Mike did most of the setting up, and we hired some guys to cook up tacos. And of course, Richard Ianni made his famous COWBOY MARGARITAS!!! Above is Richard's wife, Colleen, with me and my mom.

Bob's Bridal Basket


Bob bid on this Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie basket for me, and he won!!! I tried on a new outfit for every round of bingo. It was pretty funny! Thanks, Bob!

Bridal Bingo

Dena & Lisa!

Dena and Lisa are the closest thing I have to sisters. I have been close to their family since the age of six, when Lisa and I met while playing soccer. They are so sweet and kind and have been an amazing part of my life! I really love you girls!

Lacey & Lexy!

Alexys is one of my oldest and dearest friends. I was so glad that she and her mom were able to join us at the pre-wedding ladies' luncheon at the Bel Air Hotel!

Marcy!

Mom, me, & Marcy! Marcy is one of my mom's sweetest girlfriends. Marcy was such a doll when she hosted an "envelope stuffing party." She helped us stuff over 150 wedding invitations!

Mothers & Daughters, Plus a Baby on the Way

My mom, Sherri, Alexys, & me. I have known Sherri & Alexys now for many years. They have been amazing & very supportive friends, and I love them. Alexys is expecting her first child at the end of this year, and we are all so happy for her and her husband!

Mother of the Bride!

My mom has been so amazing during this wedding planning process! Her love and support has been truly overwhelming. WE LOVE YOU, MOM!!!

TOO Many Empty Wine Glasses


Sigi and I pose for a picture, too! Does it look a little fuzzy, or is it the wine?

Enjoying Some More Food and WINE!!!


My mom trying to feed Michael! I think we were on the dinner course and third bottle of wine. Needless to say, we can't hold our liquor.

The Tasting at Cafe Pinot

Sigi and Mom went with Michael and I to our wedding dinner tasting at Cafe Pinot. We all had a really fun time and WAY TOO MUCH TO DRINK and eat!!!

Mama Nicholl


Mike's mom was so nice to send a gift, even though she could not make it to the shower. Suzi and I sent this picture to her to thank her for the crock pot.

Lauren!


Lauren was an amazing sport to take all the photos for me at the bridal shower! Lauren is a bride-to-be, as well. Her wedding is this fall in Napa! Love you, Lauren!

Guest Sign-In Book from Sigi & Mom


Sigi & Mom bought me a photo book about Los Angeles that I could use as my guest sign-in book the day of the wedding. Sigi wrote a really sweet message in it. Mom & I took a picture to send to him... Notice my mom's white toilet paper veil... She looked so funny!

Suzi: The Maid of Honor


I am so thankful to Suzi, my soon-to-be sister-in-law, for being my Maid of Honor. She was so nice to drive all the way up from San Diego to attended the shower, while her poor puppy, Olive was so sick. (Olive is all better now!) Thanks, Suzi for sharing this day with me!

Lacey's Bridal Shower


All of my cousins: Doni, Dom, Kimberly, Ashley, & Chelsey.

Asia De Cuba


Mike and I went to the restaurant, Asia De Cuba in the Mondrion Hotel to celebrate his 35th birthday! We had some tasty appetizers and butter fish with lobster mashed potatoes for dinner. We were so full! So we went back the next day for dessert!

Grandma's 88th Birthday Party


Sunday, April 6, 2008, was Grandma's 88th birthday. Grandma, Mom, Mike, and I all went for brunch at Cafe Bizou. Mom brought the champagne and we had a great time! Happy Birthday, Grandma!!!

Odyssey Ball


Saturday, April 5, 2008. Mike and I attended our second Odyssey Ball event. The first one we attended was one of our first dates! This year's ball had a New York theme. We had a great time with Chuck, a fellow in Mike's program, and his wife Ellie. The entertainment was provided by Barbara Streisand's sister. It was fun getting all dressed up. Mike looked amaing in his tux!!!

Chicago Trip


Mike had a meeting for the SSO (Society of Surgical Oncology) in Chicago, so I decided to tag along. It was St. Patrick's Day weekend, so the river was dyed a bright green (as you can see behind us). While we were in Chicago, we got together for dinner with some of Mike's old friends. Paul and his fiance Angie, Travis and his wife Simone, and Craig! It was great to meet them!

Mike's Picket Fence Project


The pool pump and filter were old and broken, so it was time to buy some new equipment and have it installed. In the middle of the installation project, the old wooden fence that housed the pool equipment fell over. So my handy man (and oh! so handsome man), Mike, took it upon himself to go to Home Depot to purchase the materials to put up a new picket fence. And, we could not have completed it without Art's very generous and handy gift... a new electric drill for Mike!!! Thanks, Art! You are the best!


Lacey, Michael, Honey, & Barney! The whole family! We all went to my mom's house to enjoy Easter Sunday!
