Chris Medina- A story that brings you to tears.

His name is Chris Medina he is a new contestant on this round of American Idol. I watched him tryout and his story is unbelievably touching and emotional. He told us and the judges about how he has been engaged to his love Juliana for 3 years now. After proposing to her they planned on a 2 year engagement. Yet one night she was in a terrible car accident and was paralyzed due to brain damage. Chris and her family had to postpone the wedding due to medical costs and Juliana's recovery.

At his audition he sang his heart out to the song by the Script "Break Even" you could just see how he was singing to her. It was so touching. I was balling! He talks about how 2 weeks before this accident he was going to make the vow that through sickness and health he would be with her. I am so touched at how this mans life has been thrown up in the air, yet he is still so strong and trusting that everything will turn out fine. I admire this man incredibly. Just shows how God is always there for you and how he brings amazing people into your life, as he did for Juliana.

 Here is a song he wrote prior to the audition while Juliana was in the hospital.

Many Thanks MONDAY!

This weekend was super fun filled!:) It started with Jon and I making the trek to Maple Grove on Friday to stay with my parents for the weekend. I had ski races at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis all weekend, and so a couple girls from my ski team stayed with us as well. Saturday started with a very cold skate race with my mom, dad and Jon watching. It was Jon's first ski race and he was loving every minute of it!:) The races were followed by a family nap including all the pets!:) Then Jon Erika and I went to Davids Bridal so I could order my brides maid dress for my beautiful friend Laura's wedding in July. Saturday night Jon and I drove down town to the Old Spaghetti Factory to meet his mother and Aunt for dinner. It was super fun meeting up with them! The Collins family sure loves food!:) Eating it and talking about it!<3
