SaVe ThE BeSt FoR LaSt♥

I first fell in love with Frankie when I was a Sophomore in high school and Frankie was a wild , ready to party, 20 year old. It's obvious we couldn't date, hence the legal age to date. But he was this gorgeous man who happens to be tooo old, tooo wild, and tooo taken. I would secretly tell his mom, " I'm going to marry him one day, just you watch"  Soooo life went on, I graduated high school and moved off, Frankie joined the military and was gone to KY, never to be seen again.... till one day ::)))) IT just so happened I moved back home one day in June of 2009. Soooo did Frankie !! Ironic? Maybe just a little, however I have always believe nothing happens by chance. OooF course the big guy upstairs knows what he is doing :) Anyhoo , I was driving around town and you will never guess who was  outside doing yard work with their dad.....Mr. Frankie himself. This time I wasn't  a little girl anymore, nope I was the BIG 20 and this time BOTH of us were adults, ohh yea!! I thought fast and deiced I would pull up and ask for his sister, hoping he would take a look and see a woman .... And it worked!! He messaged me on myspace one night, and asked if I would like to go fishing one day or to a movie, you know just to get out of the house and visit like two long lost friends. lol And we did, we go to a movie,  watch the second Transformers and went to eat at Backyard Burger. Don't forget , just as friends :) Well after that we went to the park, shopping, sonic, and to another movie. We became really good friends, and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way either, we really did.....One HOT night in JULY we sat outside for some crazy reason and talked till 3 in the morning, we did that a lot actually, and just like the song goes, I was like are you going to kiss me or not!? lol Poor Frankie was so nervous it took him 30 minutes just to kiss me :::))) it was defiantly worth the wait wink wink :)) 

Three years later here we are now with a home and cars and bills. Frankie is a special person, someone who has overcome a lot and is the best man I have ever known. He is truly my soul mate and my best friend. We are not perfect, we do not have the perfect relationship, how boring would that be? But we DO have the perfect love for each other and that's all that matters. We both have goals and dreams and I wouldn't want to accomplish any of them without this man right by my side. I can honestly say that no other person on this earth could put up with my temper, loud singing in the shower, OCD, my family,  and how I take all the covers. This person would have BIG shoes to fill and Frankie is the only one who qualifies for the job! God deff gave me him for the up's and down's :) 

Full time student+Pharmacy Tech= Long Days

oOh to be a full time student and Tech. How I love both of my "jobs" however , I'm allowed to state how hectic my life is without whining. I work 30 hours a week and for those of you who don't know , I do more then count pills. I do everything from inventory, counting, mixing, organizing folders, creating folders, adding people in the system, to taking the trash out! Everything except putting the prescriptions in!! And for two days out of the week I go to school for 15+ hours, that does not include homework & study time. I also have a sweet little girl I watch once a week named Pae Pae. Of course I have my Sundays dedicated to my awesome Church and now I'm dedicating a lot of "free" time in the gym, preparing for 5k's. Let's sprinkle in family time, which is a full time job in itself, its not an easy job being the BEST AUNT Coco! Not to mention friend time and Frankie time add all that and you got yourself one busy bee!  I love my life and all the busy qualities it possesses. Yes I have realized my memory is not what it once was and now I know why. lol After all, it will be worth it in the end. I will have the profession I was born to do, I will be OUT of school and I will have more $$$ in the bank!! I can see that road, but first I have to cross over this big a$% bridge.

Frankie and I have FINALLY  came to an agreement! Our home needs some TLC and lots of it!! So out with the old and in with the new! We are going home decor shopping baby!! This is every girls dream come true , when your man agrees that ya'll need to go shopping!! 

I have a little black book specifically for this transition :) Here's a few things listed in the book :

It all starts in the kitchen, the heart of our home

Sanding the table and chairs down and then stain it  mahogany. 

Then we will add a circular rug under to give it a more relax feel to it.

My small but also important is the 1st bathroom... 

We need more space so I hope this over the toilet towel holder will help out and free up some space!

Now off the the bedroom... 

I want to create something with this old trunk not sure what to do with it....

and this is something else I will have to create over time...

 I think I will take the mirror out and paint the frame something else and put our names in the middle?

I WOULD LOVE OPINIONS SO DON'T BE SHY!!

 

The living room is last on the list and boy do we have some work to do.

 This were the magic begins! Must find a rug that goes with the Peacock colors we want and pillows to match. 

Then we will be able to find the perfect curtains to match!

I'm selling these and I want to find a large painting to take it's place. Something like this -->

So last on the living room list is one wall that is set up kinda weird so this is what I want to do ..

A passion for life

I'm new at this so bare with me, but I thought for my first post I would write something about my passion for life. I figured almost everyone could relate to this

 I have a passion to be the best I can be, I have a passion to love as hard and as deeply as I can, I have a passion to be a child of God, I have a passion to make my dreams come true, I have a passion for my beautiful, but rather large, family, I have a passion to be who I want to be and not what I should be, I have a passion to forgive, I have a passion to be the best friend that anyone could count on, I have a passion to try every kind of chocolate in the world, I have a passion to fix things that are broken, I have a passion to watch old movies on rainy days, I have a passion to help anyone in need or not in need, I have a passion for our troops, I have a passion for my boy friend, I have a passion to laugh everyday, I have a passion to cry when things are going good and bad, I have a passion to respect my elders, I have a passion for the Arts and Music, I have a passion to make this little life of mine be full of I did's rather than what if's. My life is my Passion ♥
