Dreams really do come true...

When Rob asked me what I would like for my 30th Birthday in August, I provided two answers...

1. A nap (this was back when AP wasn't sleeping well)
2. The opportunity to meet Natalie Morales from the Today Show

Thanks to my amazing husband and incredible in-laws, #2 has just recently been checked off the list!

Fun Facts during my "surprise trip"

a. I was 100% star struck when I met Natalie and only mumbled "hello" and giggled like a nervous little girl when she came over to say hi.
b. AP was much bolder. When Natalie greeted her, she took Natalie's script from her hands and threw one of the sheets on the floor.
c. Natalie is gorgeous in person!
d. The set appears much larger on TV.
e. Rob's Mom and I went to use the restroom in between sets and as we were leaving, we ran into Kathie Lee Gifford coming into the bathroom! Rob's Mom acted like she has known Kathie for years and even had a quick conversation with her. I (similar to meeting Natalie) was too star struck to say anything and only mumbled "you are beautiful" like an awkward person when we left.
f. Most amazing day ever! Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

On the set and yes, that is the production schedule I am holding.

Natalie and the girls (notice AP holding her script)
Happy 30th Birthday to me! I look really goofy (and very ugly) when compared to Natalie.
Just catching up with my girl.
