Such A Rough Life
Balboa Peninsula aka: Paradise
Matt and I decided to go for a little bike ride tonight and the ride around Newport Beach made me realize how stinkin' lucky I am.
So first off, let me tell you the story about our new bikes. Newport Beach is a complete and total war zone for the Fourth of July so Matt and I taxied over to the Peninsula to avoid all traffic jams and unnecessary problems. However our thought process wasn't quite thoughtful enough and completely overlooked the fact that we would ultimately have to walk roughly 123 blocks throughout the day. So to make a long story short we bought each other beach cruisers as our wedding gifts to each other.

Dubbed Giant Purple People Eater and Black Mamba
I mean who needs jewelry when you can have a beach cruiser which only results in more time spent with hubby Matt?
So back to the story about Matt and I taking our new beach cruisers out for a spin this evening. For any of you who know Newport Beach, we rode down onto Balboa Island and stopped at Starbucks then cruised over to the Balboa Island Ferry which took us across to the Newport Peninsula.

From there we cruised all the way up the Peninsula to Pacific Coast Highway and then down PCH back to our digs right on the water. It was so warm and clearly gorgeous and a great way to let go of all wedding garBAGE.
I will end with this...
I LOVE MY LIFE!!!
VitaCoco OUT. Gerber Baby Food IN!!!
Diets are so boring so I figured I would mix it up a little and go back to the beginning of time when you were forced to eat healthy.
BABY FOOD!!!
I mean they didn't start feeding you cheese burgers and fries when you were born. You got veggies and fruit in a blender. They taste amazing (especially the raspberry and banana) and they are healthy. Such a great snack!
Call me crazy but I think it's brilliant.
This Stuff Tastes Like Caca
I'm Still Here!!!
These are totally hot right?!?!
Wedding plans have consumed my every day life, my dreams, and are intertwined into all of my thoughts. So for any of you who have maintained a job, planned a wedding, AND blogged.....I COMMEND YOU!
So the groomsmen's ties came in!!! I was so excited only to open the box to the wrong color ties!!
Most would think the solution to this would be easy....buy new ties?!?! For any normal size person this would be a super quick fix but unfortunately these ties were custom ordered for the massively large friends Matt is having as groomsmen. IT TOOK 2 MONTHS TO GET THESE TIES IN!
I had two options...
1. Sit down on the middle of the floor in Nordstrom and cry hysterically
or
2. Frantically start looking for new ties
Clearly an emotional scene was not what I wanted to go for even though my eyes were welling up with tears so I reluctantly took a deep breath and began my hunt for the perfect shade of plum.
I think I have purchased about 24 ties and brought them home to match with the bridesmaid's dresses. And you think matching a purple would be easy? Guess again. Out of the dozens of ties I have bought, I have had NO luck. No matter what way I switch the light or turn the flash on and off on my camera, none of them seem to be just right.
Side Note (and point of the picture): Anyone else think spanx are super sexy? I tried them on for my fiance and he ran in the other direction?! I strongly believe they are one of the greatest inventions ever!!! And for you men you have cringed at the thought of high-waisted, inevitable camel toe, spandex tummy tucks.... give a girl a break!

Los Angeles Mayhem

I have no idea how I am alive right now. This past Saturday was my bachelorette party up in L.A. All of my bridesmaids came which was incredible. Even the out-of-towners! The day was amazing minus the fact that I was basically on my death bed coughing up every type of flemmy matter that resided in my throat and my face felt like it was going to explode due to the massive amount of pressure in my sinuses. But hey, you only get one bachelorette party right? So I sucked it up, threw on my cute little Ralph Lauren bathing suit and accessorized with a huge black hat and sun glasses and plopped my sick butt down onto a big bed next to the beautiful pool at the Mondrian in West Hollywood.
Later that evening we got ready, sat around, told stories and played shockingly inappropriate games of Would You Rather?

Next stop: Voyeur.
This is when our night took a turn for the worst. We waited outside of this club for about 20 minutes before we got inside the front doors which then took another 20 minutes to get to the dance floor because of the large amount of people. Once we turned to get into the center of the club, we were greeted by two topless dancers.
Camilla and I quickly gathered those who wanted to leave and cut our night a little short. Or so we thought.
Once we were cuddled up in bed back in our incredible room chowing down on cupcakes and Taco Bell, we got a phone call from Cassy back at Voyeur, "Lindsey was rufied by some midget, ankle biting, has-been actor. I'm taking her to the hospital." So off to the hospital we go.
I don't think this is how we planned on spending our night but I must say we came away with some great stories so all in all I would deem this bachelorette party a success.
I am beyond blessed to have these people in my life who would go through all of this trouble to help me celebrate my upcoming wedding....
...which is in 70 days!...
