That Time I Met a Pretty Little Liar

That's right...I met a Pretty Little Liar this weekend! It's the most coincidental story! Here's the back story:

A few months ago, I went to the Grove with Michaela and her roommate was there at the same time we were. Well, her roommate saw Shay Mitchell (another PLL) and I was pretty bummed we had missed her! I have been to the Grove many times and always hope to see a celeb, but for some reason I had the worst luck with it! 

On Saturday, I was having brunch with a few friends in Beverly Hills, and we were talking about all of the famous people we'd seen around town. I haven't run into very many since moving here (besides partying with Owen Wilson...that was amazing), and I was telling the girls how jealous I was of all their stories! 

After brunch, Doug and I decided to go to the Grove before we headed home. This is the crazy part. As we were going down all of the escalators from the parking deck, I was telling him how several people I know have seen Shay Mitchell here, but my favorite PLL is Lucy Hale. I was telling him how nice and normal she seems, and I would definitely want to meet her out of all of them. As soon as I said that, I look over and see Lucy Hale walking towards the escalators to leave. So I whispered to Doug, "OHMYGOSH THAT'S LUCY HALE!!!", grabbed his hand, and went to follow her back up the escalators. (I realize I sound like a creep! I was totally fan-girling! haha) 

Luckily she parked on the top level, so by the time we got up there no one else was around us...I definitely didn't want to cause a scene for her but I really wanted to meet her! And I was right, she was SO nice and SO down-to-earth. We talked about her new country record, and since she's from Memphis, she knew where Marietta (my hometown) is! She really couldn't have been nicer! It was also the most normal I've ever acted when I've met a celeb...I usually ramble or can't seem to speak in coherent sentences :)

She was with Amanda Schull, who played Meredith on PLL. You may also recognize her from Center Stage! She had parked on a lower level, so I didn't meet her...which was probably a good thing because I couldn't remember her real name!

It definitely made my day! Do you watch Pretty Little Liars? Are you as obsessed with it as I am? :)

Doug's Half Marathon! (And Celebrities!)

Last Sunday was a proud day for us! Doug completed his first half marathon! He did the Rock 'n Roll Marathon in Pasadena, and it turned out to be fun for both of us! Because....there were FAMOUS PEOPLE there! If you've read my blog for any amount of time, you'll know that I have a bit of an obsession with all things celebrity. And it just so happened that these celebs are stars of one of my all-time favorite shows, Grey's Anatomy!

That's right....Dr. Miranda Bailey, Alex Karev, and Teddy Altman were there! (AKA Chandra Wilson, Justin Chambers, and Kim Raver)

You could say that I flipped out. But that might be an understatement. 

Joey McIntyre (from NKOTB...duh) was also running the race! 

Okay, back to Doug! Here's some pictures from the day:

I was a very proud wife that day! 

Cutest (Fictional) Couples

I've been watching Gilmore Girls recently, and I cannot explain in words how adorable I think Luke and Lorelai are. They are possibly my favorite fictional couple ever. I demand a GG movie! I want more! 

This got me thinking about other ridiculously cute couples. Here are a few of my favorites.

Derek and Meredith

AH! I love them so much. The way he looks at her kills me. (I realize I sound crazy)

Jack and Rose

You are probably laughing at this one, but Titanic is tied for my all-time favorite movie. Jack Dawson is a dreamboat!

Marshall and Lily 

(AKA Marshmallow and Lilypad)

These two are insanely adorable. 

Ezra and Aria

These two newcomers definitely make the list. And the fact that their relationship is forbidden makes it even better :)

Noah and Allie

Greatest love story of all time!

Ross and Rachel

The series finale always makes me cry...she got off the plane!

Tenley and Kiptyn

Okay, so this one is not fictional! These are 2 of my favorite people from the Bachelor franchise, and I think they are THE cutest couple! They live in San Diego, and Doug says I should be friends with them. I agree, but I don't think there is a non-creepy way to make that happen. So I will love them from afar!

So who'd I miss? Who's your favorite celebrity or fictional couple?

**UPDATE! Brittany reminded me of Jim and Pam! Of course, they must be on the list!! 

TMZ Tour!

We had the best weekend! On Saturday, we headed up to LA with our friends from UGA, Jeremy and Emily, for the TMZ TOUR! The boys sweetly agreed to join us, and they were surprised that they enjoyed it, too. I highly recommend it!

Our tour guide Alex, who is on the show!, took us around Hollywood and Beverly Hills for 2 hours, showing us the landmarks and hunting for celebrities. 

We were driving down Rodeo Drive when HARVEY LEVIN runs out of Hugo Boss and jumps on our bus!

He was so nice and took the time to talk with us. Loved him!

{Beverly Wilshire Hotel}

{Some fancy hotel where big celebs live- Elton John, Cher, and a lot more!}

{Pink's Hot Dogs- see the line!? It wrapped all the way around the building and apparently is always like that!}

{Eva Longoria's restaurant!}

I won a t-shirt for knowing what TMZ stands for! ha!

After the tour, we grabbed dinner then enjoyed some Crumbs Cupcakes, where we ran into Captain Jack Sparrow.

Then we headed to my favorite place in LA- The Grove!

And we ended the night at the Farmer's Market!

It was the perfect day :)
