Jeff and I met at the Kentucky Derby. (FYI….if you have not attended, put it on your “things I must do in life” list) We are inseparable….at least while we’re in the same state. One thing our relationship doesn’t lack is FUN. As Shea puts it, “you guys are kids in a candy shop”. Typically we spend 2-4 days a week together. I usually make the jaunt to Chicago but occasionally he visits the Bluegrass State. And it’s perfect! Our relationship comfortable, fexible and easy. I loved being married, but at this stage of my life I like that I do not feel confined. I really like having the independence and the freedom of being in Louisville, and having a little bit of distance between us, it’s very refreshing for me.

That probably seems odd, because the viewer may see me as very dependent. You guys have just seen me go through a tough time, I was absolutely heartbroken from my divorce and I would have done anything in the world to make it work. But at some point you can only ask the other person in the relationship to do so much. My life has changed and I am very happy with the way my relationship is right now. Don’t get me wrong, we have our ups’ndowns, just like everyone but overall life is good!

Hadley…..all I have to say, take a deep breath, absorb everything you’re going through right now, and just enjoy. I always felt like Sterling and Hadley lacked chemistry, to me it felt forced. That good ol’boy charm is what she was attracted to but at the same time it’s what pulled her away. Good thing for Sterling, he beat her to the punch. Honestly, I could see the relief in her face when she told me. In the end Hadley’s ego was a little bruised but at least her heart was intact!

Now down to the good stuff….Emily and Shea. I love them both but boy, they are polar opposites. I did feel bad for Shea, she was so excited to share the news and all Emily could talk about was her hair. Ugh…but at the same time, you have to keep things in perspective. Emily is 24. As odd as this may sound, Emily’s haircut is just as important to her as Shea’s engagement was to her. I’m not saying it’s appropriate! Honestly, I am sure Emily wasn’t even aware of what she was doing

That ’s the difference between Shea and I though – I would have looked at Emily and said, “enough with the hair, Jeff proposed”.

Wow, the sleepover fashion show. Sadly enough, those are all my clothes. One thing I never throw away is clothes. I have, pretty much, every pair of jeans I’ve ever worn in my life.

Part of the issue is that a lot of it had been packed, or in storage for years. And when I moved into this new house, I unpacked it ALL. I am in the process of getting rid of it now. What a job!

The BEST part of the night was Emily’s makeup and dancing. She looked like the hamburgler. And then the dancing…it was a trainwreck. Soooo much fun!!

I wasn’t disheartened at all by the other girls’ reactions to the commercial shoot. I was laughing and crying at the same time. I was like, squatting down into a chair rolled up in a ball, just covering my eyes and peeking through my fingers. And that “dating sucks” song was in the background,? Oh, it was just horrible. Did ya see the sweat running down my chest?

Btw, I was “advised” to do my commercial. I had no desire what so ever! Against my better judgment, I tried it. I did not like it – I will never do it again. Just like that first meeting, I learned I need to go with my gut when it comes to my business.
