- What has Gretchen been up to since OC's explosive reunion show? Bravo's most controversial Housewife talks.
Hey Bravo Fans!
Wow - has it been forever since I talked with you guys or what? I am so sorry for my very long absence in blogging. I have had so much going on in my life and it has been one heck of a rollercoaster! I am almost embarrassed to say it, but I never got to see the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion show! I was out of town when it aired and I forgot to TiVo the show! I know I'm a dork, but honestly I still haven't seen the dang thing. From all my fans that write to me everyone says it is probably better off I don’t see it! So I have never watched it. I keep thinking I'll see a rerun, but due to all the very exciting things happening in my life I just haven’t had the time for TV. I do remember that day of filming very clearly though and I think it was just horrible the way it all went down. It’s all good though because I do believe the core essence of a person will always come out in the end!
So I wanted to write to let you all know what has been going on with me! Although it has been one of the toughest times in my life, I have been able to really create some amazing things out of all the pain and heartache that has come with losing Jeff. No one will ever be able to truly understand or I will never be able to explain in right detail the last six months of my life. The pain, the tears, the hopelessness, the regret, the sorrow, the sleepless nights, the dreams, being angry at God, or the sad void in my soul. I have come to realize that no one can or will truly understand, and it is up to me to decide how I will handle it and how I will move on. No matter what anyone says, I have to do what is best for me. Jeff taught me that lesson, so I am taking his advice. I truly believe he continues to look over me from heaven and takes care of me by bringing great people into my life and teaching me about the poisonous ones. I have a little shrine of him in my house, with his ashes and all our pictures together. I get to walk by him every day and say hi and talk to him. Sounds corny I know, but it helps me get through the day sometimes.

I seriously think there is absolutly nothing with what Gretchen does ever. She is genuine and has way more class than all them ladies.. I love Gretchen . I could not stand Jo .. Especially when she reverted to her two year old state when she was with slade.. Oh God that made me want to puke when I would hear her voice play Baby with him.Her baby squel just to get her way and use him.. She Used him big time and I felt so sorry for him. Im so glad Gretchen and Him found each other they deserve to be happy and they are both good hearted genuine people.. Sheila Mastrofrancesco from Michigan

i am your biggest fan! i think you have a big heart and mean well...you ans jeff's relationship was your relationship and YOU have 2 be okay with whatever it was! i think you have great instincts so your thoughts about Tamra is on the money, so leave the trash in the garbage, and even though i do like Vicky, you need to stop allowing her to question you like you are Breana! BUT, do listen because these women know Slade a lot longer than you!...i am actually praying that he is not as simple as he seems on tv and he can and will make a living for the both of you, AND HIS KIDS! luv ya Gretch, and hold on to your sweet, but tough out-look on life.

Finally, you make sense marrying Slade would have been a huge mistake. Thanks.

I must say that watching television series is not a regular part of my life....until now...As I was flipping through channels a while back I was intrigued by the show. I have since watched every segment and show I could get a hold to..WOW!!!! At 1st I wasn't sure about you, but now I am like OMG....you are true blue and the real deal...I love you and Alexis!!! Ughh Vicki is such a HUGE fake awful person.
Well Kudos to you and thanks for staying true to yourself and for not selling yourself out just to be "ACCEPTED or LIKED" among the others.

Hello Gretchen,
I think you are the most sincere OC housewife. You bring compassion and beauty the show. Unlike the rest of the wives you are REAL. What you see is what you get. And I love that about you. Keep up the good work.

Gretchen, I just want to say your amazing. I live a fabulous life. But unfortunately I live in a small town, so I dont get the "housewife label". Dont get me wrong I would love it! Anyways I was contemplating on the explosion between you and Lynn. I love Lynn, but I dont feel you were wrong. I have two daughters and three step daughters. I always have time but it gets hectic. I would love for one of my friends tell them that if they need to talk they are there. I feel that is what true friends do. Your the best!
