VMAs 2009=AMAZING

I'm in St. Cloud all this week working... YES- I'm using vacation to work somewhere else and YES- I realize it is not the ideal situation- HOWEVER, I am very thankful because I am staying at a house with cable- therefore, Sunday night I had access to a couch, MTV, rewind, and Oatmeal Cream Pies... I'm just saying I realize I am lucky I was able to experience the VMAs without having to wait for the clips to appear online...

Seriously, I am UBER confused as to why my reading list is not showing any action on this topic from the blogs I follow. I know I'm not the only one OBSESSED with celeb gossip... Okay, so seriously Taylor Swift is my homegirl- I've loved her since Tim McGraw, but I think every media outlet has pretty much covered the Kanye situation... so I just want to take a moment to reflect on what was possibly the greatest VMA show of my time...
  • Pink really sang while being an acrobat (Adam Lambert confirms via twitter)... she is so underestimated for her talent... PLUS she showed up with sometimes husband Carey Hart and was wearing the same dress as Shakira- in my opinion she wore it best...agreed or not? She also had to have security hold her back from kicking Kanye's ass... an all around amazing night for her!
  • Lady Gaga's outfits did NOT shock me, probably because she's Perez's wifey therefore I have seen all her wacky looks she wears to her outrageous interviews, etc... I totally LOVED her performance, her acceptance speech, and the fact that she thanks God and the Gays... I'm absolutely mesmorized by her and will continue to be for years to come I hope!
  • I am a reborn Beyonce fan, the way she handled accepting her video of the year speech was so CLASSY! Not to mention her Single Ladies performance- I would give anything to dance with 10% of the skill she has...
  • MJ tribute... tears in my eyes- his legacy will definetly live on!
  • T. Swift- her performance lacked the "crazy" factor the VMAs thrive on, but winning Best Female Video I was so happy for her... and I was so happy with how she handled the "situation" and I guess there is no question on whether or not she has fans. They boo'd the entire show whenever Kanye's name was spoken (I also know this because I want tickets to her show in MSP 10/11 and it is sold out with tickets being scalped for outrageous $$$)
If you missed the big show, try mtv.com... you can get everything there... sorry if you're in that situation and that means you didn't understand this blog... If you're a celeb junkie, like me, let me know your thoughts... Did you love it? Here's one of my ultimate pics of the night... Perez meeting Be-Wolf :)

Collette's Wedding...

I had so much fun and was SOO honored to be in Collette and Nate's wedding and share in their special day- it was a long crazy weekend.... Since Collette's family is from CA we had her shower Thursday night, Rehearsal Friday night, and Saturday was the main event- we decorated somewhere in between and somehow made it to the church for some fun photos....
My favorite part of the wedding was when Pastor Robin almost forgot to tell Nate to kiss the bride and he looked like he was having a panic attack, then Callie almost had an attack having to watch the whole thing...
The most sentimental moment was the unity sand, Collette has three boys and Nate has a daughter and stepson- Collette, Nate, and each kid had a vile of sand that were blended together in a unity vase during the ceremony (it's the modern day unity candle)- it was so sweet because they have done such a great job of blending their families and it was such a unique way to include it in the wedding... Here's the whole wedding party, obviously lots of kids involved... I love this pic of all the boys (Collette's boys, Nate's step son, and their cousins)...
The kids were fun and brought me up to date on some of newdance moves... I could have used them at the bachelorette party...
CONGRATS COLLETTE AND NATE- Love you guys!
