WE'RE ENGAGED!!!

Ian had come to my house to spend the day with me when Ian had the random idea to go out to dinner. While brainstorming restaurants, Ian came up with a restaurant that we both love and is in our old neighborhood in Thornhill (Santorini) but you usually need reservations to eat there. We got dressed up and went to ‘see if they had an opening’. When we got there, Ian had made reservations and I knew something was up. We had a great dinner and Ian kept saying that he was nervous and had butterflies but wouldn’t tell me why. When we finished dinner and were completely stuffed, Ian was adamant that we order desert and I was SURE that the ring was in the cheesecake we ordered. When the cheesecake was completely eaten, I thought that one of us had eaten the ring, when Ian starts laughing and saying he was joking and wasn’t doing it in the restaurant. I was not happy with his super mean joke, but we later went on a walk where we were raised (we grew up one street away from each other but didn’t meet until two years ago). We talked about a lot of things and Ian kept saying how awesome it would be to raise a family in our old neighborhood (which I completely agreed on because I loved my childhood there). We went back to my house, hung out for a little while then he went back to his parent’s house because he had an early morning the next day. About 10 minutes after he left, he called me to ask me to get him because his car had broken down. When I opened the garage door, there was an aisle of rose petals just like the one on the Bachelor (a show that I love) right when the Bachelor is going to propose. Not knowing what was going on, I ran back inside screaming “am I supposed to be in the garage? What’s going on?” When I made it back to the garage and made it to the end of the aisle I found a single red rose and an empty ring box. Ian popped out (and scared me!), told me his feelings, and proposed!
His brother Scott was there too to help Ian out (thanks Scott!)

I had NO idea that it was going to happen (especially after the psych out at restaurant) and I was completely surprised.I can’t wait to be sealed to my best friend and start this new chapter in our lives together <3

Ian worked really hard on getting me the perfect ring and he most definately did!

It's so perfect!

Meet Dolly!

SUCCESS.... After 15 Years Of Begging

It took me 15 years but my parents finally gave in!

I HAVE A NEW PUPPY!!!

Her name is Dolly and she is a tiny maltese puppy!

We learned a lot with her so far... she gets car sick (she threw up on me 7 times on our way home), she pees everywhere (mostly my dad's office), and she LOVES to be held (she jumps on you to get to your lap).

SHE'S PERFECT!!!!!

My First Audition... Ever!!

In keeping to my dream of being a famous movie star and hopefully winning an Oscar, I went to my first audition ever a few months ago. The role was for a lead character in a T.V. movie and it pretty much follows a dork who ends up going out with the prettiest, most popular girl at school (my character, Summer) and how he has to change to be a part of her fabulous life. Since I'm 17 and not of legal age to audition without a parent or legal guardian present, my mom came with me. I memorized my lines and was totally pumped for the screen test but since we made it early, my mom bought a bag of gummy bears so that she had something to eat during her wait. As I made my way in front of the camera, I noticed how UNBELIEVABLY hot the other guy was and, obviously, got a little nervous (he looked like an Abercrombie model!!). Halfway through my lines (as if it wasn't enough pressure to have instant chemistry with a guy I didn't know, I had to cry on cue) I heard an obnoxious crunching that threw me off completely. That crunching noise lasted for the entire screen test and when I found out where that noise was coming from, I immediately wished that I hadn't. Apparently, when I came into the screen test room and was introducing myself to the director, my mom snuck into the room and huddled in a corner so that she was in no one's way. She clearly saw no problem with eating the gummy bears in the middle of my lines right when I was trying to get into the crying and since the director gave me THREE other shots at the same lines (I was so embarrassed!) my mom kept crunching the gummy bear bag (on the last shot, she was folding the bag) so it came to no surprise that I didn't get that role. Next time I go to an audition and my mom comes, she's eating before we get to the office.
