Survivor vs. Bachelor

Last week I was watching the Survivor finale with some friends and we were talking about Survivor couples. There have been quite a few relationships that have formed out of the Survivor franchise, and one of my friends said, “It sounds like Survivor has a better track record than The Bachelor.” We all laughed, but then I thought, “Hmm…I think she’s right!”

So in honor of tonight’s premiere of The Bachelorette, I conducted a little research. And I was shocked to find the following results:

The Bachelor/Bachelorette

Score: 2 marriages, 1.5 couples that are still engaged (Brad & Emily are only hanging on by a thread!)

Survivor

                                     

Score: 3 marriages, 1 couple currently engaged, and 3 couples that have been dating for three years or more

Wow!! Apparently, you can find love on a reality show…just not on The Bachelor. But don’t worry Bachelor, even with that dismal track record, I’ll still watch you. In the meantime, I might email Jeff Probst and tell them to change the Survivor theme song to “On the Wings of Love.”

Zion

A few weeks ago we went to Zion National Park with some friends. I had never been before, and I must say that it definitely surpassed my expectations. It’s absolutely beautiful! The views are just breathtaking, and I loved it. We did several hikes in the park and ate a picnic lunch. It was a perfect day! It felt so good to be out of the city, away from work, away from traffic and just spend the day appreciating nature. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it. It’s definitely worth a trip. Here are some of my favorite photos…  

Perfect

My obsession with the royal wedding has been no secret; so of course, everyone’s been asking me what I thought about the big day. I thought it appropriate to write one more blog about the happy couple. Then I promise not to blog about them again…well, until they have an adorable royal baby, or course.

To sum up my thoughts about the royal wedding I can only use one word: PERFECT. Yes, I watched the entire wedding, and yes I thought the whole thing was magical! The dress, the flowers, the carriage, the kiss—it was all perfect. A day fit for a prince and princess.

I also just heard that Will and Kate headed off to a honeymoon in the Seychelles islands. Wow! The pictures of that place are amazing. As a true royal-fanatic, I have officially added this place to my list of places I MUST visit.

And they lived happily ever after…

The Real Will and Kate

You all know about my obsession with the royal wedding, but what many of you don’t know is that I actually attended Kate and Will’s wedding. That’s right, my dear friend Katie, married her very own Prince William, a few weeks ago in Salt Lake City. Their names really are Kate and William—I mean how much better does it get?

We threw a regal Bachelorette Party for the bride-to-be a few days before the wedding. I had a blast catching up with the girls over dinner, games, and chocolate fondue.

The weekend was full of fabulous reunions, catching up with dear friends, and celebrating the union of a truly happy/perfect couple.

To Will and Kate…both the Salt Lake-based and the royal…may you live happily ever after.
