yessssssssssssss!

i am soooo excited! apparently i've been living under a rock and didn't see any commercials during last week's bachelor finale because i was taken totally off guard just now as the bachelorette just started for the new season! i love the bachelorette way more than the bachelor series and was so excited to see that this season's bachelorette is deanna pappas from the bachelor two seasons ago.

she was the favorite front-runner to win the heart of brad womack, when he stunned everyone by not picking either girl...i will leave out the few choice words i had for him at the time, but will say that i respect him for not proposing to her just for the sake of the show and then blowing her off months later and breaking her heart even worse than he did during the finale.

i'm hoping she has the same luck as the original bachelorette did. trista rehn met ryan sutter on that show and have been happily married ever since and welcomed a baby boy maxwell alston last july (check out her adorable line of diaper bags here at trista baby)!

which one of the lucky 25 guys is deanna's mr. right? so far after just meeting the guys tonight, i'm rooting for jason, the single dad, account exec. from kirkland, washington.

good luck jason!!! the d'angelo's will be rooting for you!
