Well....the time is finally here for our good friends, Gina Avalos & Stephen Camozzi, to tie the knot! These two amazing people have been dating over 9 years. Since they got engaged last Spring, it has been the wedding that everyone is waiting to attend. These two people share so much love, and are great people to call close friends.
They love each other so much!
Robert and I planned for this wedding months in advance. We knew we wanted to fly up to Sacramento for it, because driving is just such a long endeavor from San Diego. We flew up Thursday, September 6th for the wedding, and after many delays, finally made it around 11 pm at night. Brittany Banning picked us up, and so far it has been a great time.

Yesterday we just spent the day relaxing, and catching up with everyone. Our friends Gregg and Kate Anderson had their first little bundle of joy last month, and we had been dying to meet the little man. After meeting up with my dad for breakfast, the Anderson's came over so we could meet Miles Henry Anderson. He was so precious! We hung out and had lunch at the house, and marveled at this little miracle that Gregg and Kate created. He was such a good baby! And absolutely handsome. It was so great to see this couple's creation, and hear about how much Miles has enhanced their life. I loved holding him, and am so glad we got to see him since he won't be at the wedding this weekend.
Look at this precious little boy!

Friday night we went to Stephen's mom's house, and saw a lot of his family members. It was great to see Angela Senigaglia, her husband, and boys, and to see the love and excitement that this family has for the union of Gina and Stephen. After having some delicious food and a couple drinks, we thought it was appropriate to let the family spend some quality time together, so we left and met up with Ryan and Kristina for dinner later on. It's spontaneous nights like these that are the best! Robert, Ryan, Kristina, Brittany, and I had such a fun night remembering the good ol days of growing up! We reminisced about childhood tv shows we all loved (like Saved By The Bell, Gummy Bears, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, etc) and old songs we grew up loving (like Bone Thugs n Harmony). It. Was a great time filled with laughter. Unfortunately Jordan couldn't be with us because he was coaching a Folsom High School football game in Roseville. What a great day it was!

To give you all a little background information about the bride and groom, we have to take a little trip down memory lane. Robert has been friends with Stephen since they were in Junior Peewee football together as children. They attended high school together, and always knew they would be lifetime friends. Even when I first met Robert over 4 years ago, he told me about his good friends Gina & Stephen, and how they were totally gonna get married some day. Stephen and Robert have lived together before, and gone through the ups and downs of life together.
Gina and Stephen
When Robert and I started dating, it was a bit scary to meet "the group" of friends. All the boys have been friends for many years, and the girlfriend and wives are all friends too. These people have become some of my best friends, and I know will always be there for us, no matter where we live, or what happens. It is quite an extensive group of boys, including Jordan Banning, Gregg Anderson, Ryan McCracken, Mike Cuevas, Chris Boyle, Kris Kreeger, Pat Ainsworth, Brad Willock, and Brandon Wessman. The girls include Brittany Banning, Kristina Robertson, Kate Anderson, Morgan Wessman, Melanie Heimburg, Alysia Miller, Emily Cardamon, Elisa Avalos, and Amanda Angelo, just to name a few. This group of men and women are such a great group, that makes me so blessed to be apart of . When I married Robert I not only married him and his family, but this group of friends, who essentially are our extended family now.
Love these two
Congrats to Gina and Stephen, we cannot wait to witness this special commitment and day! We love you both so much!
