Jennifer Aniston is Engaged!

Brad and Angelina who? Our favorite Friend stole the spotlight this weekend!!

Now I know this is more "Wedding Wednesday" news but do you really think we could wait 2 more days to talk about this? And really by then it will be old news lol.

Justine Theroux's rep told PEOPLE exclusively, "Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage." Aniston, 43 and Theroux, 41, have been dating for over a year. 

If you know us, then you know what HUGE fans we are of the show Friends! We were so sad when Brad and Jen reported the news of their split; we had always hoped for a reunion.  But we are extremely happy that she has found love again! 

We wish the newly engaged couple a very happy life together!!

XOXO,

Damian Izsa's Tricky Tray Scholarship Dinner in Northern New Jersey

Hello family, friends and fans. We'd like to take this opportunity to talk to you about a Tricky Tray dinner that will be held in honor of a dear family friend, Damian Izsa. He was taken away from us too soon and is missed every day. Damian had worked as a nurse at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ and the scholarship that is in honor of him will now help students pursing a nursing career.

The dinner will be held on October 19th at 6:30pm at the Excelsior in Saddle Brook, NJ. Tickets are now on sale for $50 each and you can contact Mary Tarabocchia at Luckow at 201-634-5329 to purchase them. Checks will be accepted. You can make them out to The Valley Hospital Foundation with Damian Izsa Scholarship Fund written in the memo section.

Donations for prizes for the tricky tray are being accepted now. Any size, any item, even an empty basket to put items in, would be greatly appreciated. Your items can be picked up or you can directly drop them off at the hospital.

With a buffet dinner, live music, dancing and amazing prizes, this dinner will sure be to an amazing night! Please come out and/or donate some items to support the family and friends of Damian.

We'd like to thank you all in advance for your support. Please help us spread the word. If you are interested in purchasing a ticket or donating an item, do not hesitate to contact us.
