The Wedding!!

Friday evening, August 14th my lovely Daughter Alissa Rae became the wife of Christopher Grossi. It was a lovely ceremony and a good time was had by all.

I'm a GREAT Auntie!

My niece Sarah had a beautiful baby girl - Jossalyn Rae Udink!

He Did It!

Dominic graduated from Corona High last Thursday evening. HOORAY!!

Lauren's Wedding

On Sunday, June 7th my beautiful niece, Lauren married Kyle Egkan in an absolutely beautiful ceremony at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. Here's a great picture of Mom being walked down the aisle by my handsome future son-in-law, Chris. Doesn't Mom look beautiful?

Finally!

Haven't been able to post anything due to moving, and the fact that Mom only has dial-up internet. We just got dsl, so things are changing!!

I've been working at Radio Shack as a Manager in Training for the last 6 weeks. I should have my own store by June 9th or so. Work is good & it's interesting, I just wish the money was better!

Here's some pics from Alissa's shower where we dressed Mia up as the bride. Too funny!

Erin Go Braugh!

Happy St. Paddy's Day! I started my new job yesterday at Pottery Barn-WOW! It is totally different that anything I've done before so I'm trying to absorb everything I can. Today will be a long day unloading things from trucks & seeing what all we have. The store is huge & beautiful empty so I'm sure it will be lovely.

Pictures of Dad

My Daddy

Today was the worst Friday the 13th ever. Mom called me early to tell me that she couldn't wake dad up. She called 911, and when I got there he was cold, not breathing & no pulse. The paramedics tried to revive him but to no avail. It almost doesn't seem real. I can't imagine not having my dad right next door anymore. He celebrated his 78th birthday on August 31st and for the most part was doing well. The past few months he was building & rebuilding rc airplanes and having an absolute blast. In fact Mom said that he had been out in the garage with his planes & came to bed at 11:55pm. This picture was taken on Thanksgiving.

What a Month!

Job searching SUCKS! Although I enjoy staying home, this isn't quite the way I wanted to do it. At least I did get to see the entire inauguration on TV. It was very inspiring

For My Birthday

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I am sooo happy to be done with 2008 and I'm ready for 2009! Here's some photos of Christmas. We all had a wonderful time, as usual.
