I think that this is THE cutest picture of my husband. This is Joe in all his glory…goofing off and being a good sport after I shoved a sparkley blue headband (my stepdaughter’s) onto his head. He’s probably going to kill me for posting it…but if you’re having a bad day- how can you NOT smile!? It’s awesome. I think he pulls off the headband very well.

Big props to whoever turned in my purse at Krispy Kreme on Sunday. (I couldn’t resist…the Hot & Now sign was ON! Four two doughnuts later…) I, being super smart, left my purse hanging on the back of the chair and left without it! It wasn’t until I drove ALL the way home that I noticed it was missing. Oh if you could’ve been a fly on the wall for that scene. Anyway, some very kind individual turned it in vs. running off with all my money (Ha! Little money more like it) Thank you mystery person!!!

Enjoy your 4th of July weekend! Be safe and take a cab if need be! I’ll be at the beach…eating…relaxing…tanning…having fun and watching some fireworks!

I finally did it. I finally signed up for twitter. I know…I know. I’m WAY behind! Where have I been!? I just haven’t been motivated to make an account until recently. So follow me at: twitter/ZNatalia

I just bought some SWEET running shoes. Joe and I have been trying to run/jog together on a daily basis. What’s the saying? The couple that works out together, stays together? JK. It’s motivating/fun and healthy to do as a joint force. Joe totally smokes me when it comes to running but luckily he waits patiently for my slow a$$. Check these puppies out:

To be honest, I would’ve totally rather have spent my $ on these bad boys:

But I’m pretty sure Joe would’ve killed me if I bought another pair of shoes that weren’t going to be used for excercising. *Sigh*

Anyway, I am going to be out at BAR Norfolk again this Saturday night for Ladies night. COME ON OUT! I’m there from 10:30p-12:30a! It will be FUN- I promise. If you want any details about Saturday, feel free to email me: natalia@z104.com OR you can tweet me!

Uh…in case you forgot- Father’s Day is THIS Sunday! I have a few men in my life that I need to wish a very Happy Father’s Day to…starting with my Tato (that’s Ukrainian for Dad!) He was the first man in my life that was my hero- he was my first love- and my first protector. He’s amazing and has always done everything in his power to provide for our family. He’s a hard worker, honest and giving. I could go on and on about him. God has REALLY blessed me. I can’t stress that enough. Love you, Tato!

Then there’s my husband. My best friend and a marvelous father as well! He’s the total package! Caring, thoughtful, funny, intelligent…I told you God blessed me!

Then there’s my father-in-law who is more like a father than a father-in-law to me! (Here he is playing the air guitar at the Wedding!) He’s too much fun!

Happy Father’s Day to these fantastic men!

I am sure by now Tricia has blogged all about it…New Kids On The Block! Although I wasn’t brave enough to weather the storm & stay for the show- I got to meet the guys! (I know, I am such a chicken!) Donnie was incredibly nice! After we were instructed by their Security guy not to touch, look at them and NOT to tell them our life story (the last part- life story part is TRUE) Donnie came out and gave everyone hugs.  Here we are laughing like old friends. Just kidding…I don’t know what I was saying to him!

After that we were ushered into the Meet and Greet tent. I have to admit that I had a HUGE crush on Jordan when I was a wee one. I had the lunch box… I would always lovingly stare sport it like it was nobodies business!  

Jordan is Darlene’s favorite as well (she’s in the deep blue) so we made a deal to share him…we each got a side! Although he doesn’t look thrilled in the photo- he was nice as well! All the guys were amazing…

Darlene, Tricia and myself before the meet and greet. Sorry, I’m a little backwards today! If you want to see pics from the show check Tricia’s blog or the Photo Gallery on the website!

Recently got my bangs cut…and I am not really loving them to be honest with you. It’s not my hair dressers fault because I asked for them (hi Lynn) so there’s no one to blame but myself. I’ve realized that bangs should be sported only by 5 year olds or certain people who can pull them off.  I am not one of those people. They look great odd on adults. Drum Roll please! Here they are:

Tah Dah! Oh well…they will grow back eventually! Now for some random pictures of Ty Ty. One of my good friends who works in the sales department here (Becky) left her pup in my care for a weekend recently. I don’t think she will be doing that in the future…look at his eyes! They just scream for help!

Maybe this has something to do with it…

I personally thought he looked fashionable! Now for a random pic of Tias loving on my husband. I think he may have a man crush…but you judge for yourself! I think I may have competition…

That’s right…after 9 days of being gone…I AM BACK! I am now a Mrs. and a Step-Mom. Two things that I feel VERY blessed to be! The wedding was absolutely amazing. It was everything I had ever hoped for and dreamed of! A BIG thanks to all who worked hard to make it happen. It was flawless and just perfect. I am so happy for those who were able to make it. We’re blessed to have such amazing friends and family!

 Here are just a few pics from the Big Day! More to come…the Honeymoon to Barbardos was equally amazing. Pics of that to come in the next blog! Have to leave something for later!
