Dancing with the Stars Premiere!!!

On Saturday morning my mom called saying she was on a waiting list for DWTS tickets and she could get them for Mon, Tues or Wed. Well because of work and the first night I chose Monday. We had these printed out "tickets" and went to the CBS studios (weird since it's on ABC?) . Anyway, my friend Lisa and I went and stood in line for about 2 hours outside. They were getting to the end and told us we would need to sit in a balcony which has a obstructive view. At this point our feet hurt and we were hoping we didn't have a horrible seat. (the way the girl said it made it seem like balconies were horrible seats). So they call us in and as we walk in she says these are fillers now so you will be filling VIP seats. WHAT??? Did we hear that right? Sure enough we walk into the studio walk all over the dance floor and she find us seats right in the FRONT ROW!!

We took BROOKE BURKE's seat!! It said her name on that back of our chairs but apparently she was a no show! Good news for us :) So we sat next to Steve-o and Shawn Johnson from last season. Anyway, the show was great. A little long because you can't fast forward through the commercial breaks like at home! haha! But it was awesome! The dancers did well and it's pretty funny seeing them watch themselves practicing. Lisa's mom took these photos off of her TV :)
Me (right) next to Steve-o!
Lisa and I at the very beginning of the show!

Steve-o was really nice and friendly. He introduced himself and talked to us throughout the show. Not too often but he could have ignored us and we still would have thought it was cool sitting by them! :) And I have to say Melissa Joan Hart looked the best out of the woman. She is beautiful in person!

What an evening!!!

Dave and Andrea's wedding

Last weekend we drove up to Aptos (near Santa Cruz) for Dave and Andrea's wedding. Phil lived with Dave before we got married. The drive wasn't too bad, didn't seem very long. We got up there and had time to jump in the pool and rest a little. We stayed at the Best Western and it was a great hotel. The wedding was at the Seascape Golf Club.
This was where the ceremony happened. It was overlooking one the holes on the course. It was perfect weather and in the far distance you can see the water.
Phil and I waiting for the ceremony to start. Should have worn sun screen! :)
This is Dave and Andrea's beautiful 1 year old daughter. She did so great. Grandma dropped her off right there and she walked up to grandpa at the front! She kept turning around to the "audience" and waving while saying "hi!". It was very cute! You know me, I'm a sucker for little ones!

The beautiful Bride and Groom saying their vows. It was a beautiful ceremony and a great party! Had my first ever Cadillac Margarita... SO good! On our way back we stopped in SLO for Sunday Night. We got to see some old college friends and eat at Firestone's :) Great weekend trip!
