My in laws went to St. Petersburg, FL on Saturday. On Sunday they went and looked at some houses and condos for us. My mother in law- who has the same tastes as me as far as the home wants are- saw a condo that she knew I would love. So tonight they will be going back to look at it again and make an offer. By the pictures that are seen on the realtor site it looks cute. It is a second floor but there are only 10 units in the complex. It is at the most 2 blocks from the library- a bonus for us since we are homeschooling. She will be taking pictures to send to us so when she does I will post them.
Frankie leaves the 9th of April for St. Petersburg. I will see him once before the wedding. He needs to come back to apply for the license. Then he will be back for the wedding.
Our plans are to be married on the 19th of June and then move on the 22nd... It will be a busy week for us.. We are planning on driving down to St. Petes. I am pretty excited. The monkey is excited too. She has been thinking of what colors she wants to do her room in.
I hope everyone has a blessing filled day.

100 days

Wow 100 days.. I can't believe that in 100 days I will be Mrs. Frankie P. I have to say that I honestly never thought I would meet my Frankie.. I know that I was in a long relationship (10 years)that 1) was not the right one 2) ended really bad. So much has changed these last almost 2 years.
The wedding planning is going great... My new MIL is a wonderful person... She is doing the decorating and cooking. My new FIL will be making our cake (I think both him and my MIL). My MIL's older sister is helping with the decorating... We both decided that we didn't want the traditional wedding. We are having something small with only my children, grandbaby, and Frankie's parents and my dad... We plan to have a reception later on that day. This is to allow our friends and family to celebrate with us our new life together..
Frankie, The Monkey and I are planning on relocating after the wedding... We are relocating to St. Petersberg, FL... LOL funny since I just relocated to KY from Orlando, FL... We are hoping to buy a big enough house that The Boy, The Girl (his fiance) and my grandbaby can live with us...
I had started a Gourmet Cooking and Catering course two years ago. I recently was able to finish that up. I had to put it on hold for a year, while I was trying to get back my feet after the upheaval we went through... But Ashworth College was understanding. I finished the course with a 4.0 GPA (a 97%) for the course. Now I have enrolled in Hotel and Restaurant Management. I still plan on attending EMT school but to me it is important to stay home right now and tend to the Monkey's education. I truly feel this is where the Lord wants me to be right now..
Frankie and I have been discussing the pros and cons of switching to all natural cleaners for our home... I would like to do this and I think Frankie is willing (he mentioned making our own..) So if anyone has any great recipes for homemade cleaners please feel free to post them in the comments or email me.... I know one thing I can't wait for is getting a house and having a clothes line. To me nothing beats the smell of freshly line dried clothes.

I hope you all have a wonderful blessing filled day/night...

Mapquest and Buffett

Wow, it is nice to be able to print up a general map of where our reception is going to be held (Nice and inexpensive)... Now all that is left is to cut them (I printed 2/page to save on paper) and put the invitations together... I have until the end of this month to get them together. Then address them. I will get most done this week coming.

Buffett... There is something relaxing about listening to Radio Margaritaville. We have it on in the background while we are doing various things. Frankie is on his laptop and I am on mine. No tv (it is nice to turn it off once in awhile) just music lightly in the background. I love having it on as background noise instead of having it blaring so we have to yell at the person sitting next to us.

The Monkey is out at the movies. She has gone to see Alice in Wonderland. She loves Johnny Depp and Tim Burton so she has been looking forward to this movie... I hope she enjoys it..










"make sure you keep it between the navigational beacons." Have a great night!

107 Days, Wii Fit

We are at 107 days until our wedding. I am so excited. We still need to order the dresses for the girls. But my clothes and "Frankies" clothes are ordered and hanging in the closet. I found the cutest outfit for the grandbaby but I am not too sure on size yet for him. We even got a little outfit for the dog. LOL He will be the only one "formally" dressed. We have a little tux shirt for him..

The Monkey and I have been working out with the help of the Wii. We have been using the Wii Fit Plus. It is neat.. It is amazing how quick 1/2 hour goes when doing a workout this way. We worked it into the Monkey's curriculum. She has to do it 5x's/wk 30 minutes. She herself upped her time to 45 minutes for the past two days and today she went up to an hour. She has a wager going on with Frankie with a reward of a $100 shopping spree.


And how is your week going??

New Blog

I started this new blog with the hopes that my stalker doesn't find me... I hope to be able to find my friends that I used to follow.
