Grant has been my best friend almost since day one, he has been the one that has been there with me when we got Krystina, he was the shoulder I cried on when I felt that the world abandoned me, he is the one that keeps my laughing and the one that I turn to when I need to vent. This morning, WAY TOO EARLY, he got up to get ready to leave for the month. I got up at 4:15 this morning to make him breakfast and drink a cup of coffee with him just to see him before he left. He made a few little jokes to keep me smiling, totally Grant's style and off he went. Krystina doesn't really understand much, just that daddy is gone for a long long day and that she gets to tear off one of her paper chain links every day until he gets home.
Now I can back track a bit!
This weekend was BUSY! We went to 2 weddings on Saturday! The first one was for Grant's friend Warren, it was STUNNING. They had their ceremony in the Japanese garden at Long Beach State... AMAZING. It was so beautiful and so serene. Then we were off to race home, put little one down for her nap, I needed to get dressed, Grant needed to get ready as he was the best man and we needed to drop Krystina off at my sisters all before his brothers wedding that night. A wedding that I was the Wedding Coordinator, told about that job 3 days before the wedding. Once we got to Chino Hills for the wedding, we were both surprised at how much nicer it was than we had expected. I actually almost felt bad for all of my negativity towards the situation. Luckily that feeling evaporated moments later and I was reassured that my feelings were justified. Grant looked so handsome in his tux, he gave a fantastic speech and I did WONDERFUL at my first real attempt at planning a wedding if I do say so myself. The DJ was horrible so we barely danced, and I think we were both a little sad about what was to come today.

On Sunday we had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast with Grant's dad, stepmom and mom... It is always so nice to see everyone and be able to spend some time with them. It's also wonderful that Krystina gets to know his dad and stepmom since they live so far away.
IN other great news I am officially 2009's Mrs. Orange County International. My first meeting is in a few weeks and the pageant is in August. This was a title that I won via an online search including pictures and essays... I am really proud of myself and hope to use this title to make a difference.
