A much needed update

So I just read my last few posts and realized that I haven't really been up to date with everything. Regarding the whole apartment search, Tony and I found a place in Holden off the Main road, it will do for now, it isn't anything long term.



This is our front door, feel free to visit anytime!

We also live here alone, we talked about moving in with Andrew and Emily but we decided that it would be easier to live alone.



Moving on, as many of you know Tony and I are getting married on August 8,2009. I have no idea how I managed to pick that date. People always ask me how the planning has been going. Well to be honest, I was super excited when we got engaged but now after I have started planning everything, it is becoming overwhelming. I have no idea how people do this for a living! I would love to hire a planner but that would be wasting my own money that I don't have.

So far I have:

The ring-that is what started all of this planning
The date-kinda crucial
My dress-which I absolutely love, I will love even more when it fits me better
Photographer-Mark McCall,my brother-in-law
Cake-made from a good friend of the family
Church-Hermon Baptist Church-If you haven't been there, trust me it is gorgeous!
Reception hall- Jeff's Catering and coincidentally they are our caterer also-they are in Brewer
A website so everyone can stay updated. It is www.momentville.com/tonyandkim

Other than this stuff I just listed we don't really have anything else. I have to talk about flowers and djs but I need more money for deposits in order to do that stuff. I am really excited about the wedding because I am going to be able to say that Tony is my husband and hopefully he will be just as proud to say that I am his wife. Everyone has told me that it will come together eventually and it will feel like I don't have anything to do but right now kinda stinks!

I'm changing my name

Tony proposed to me last week and I SAID YES!!! We are planning on a August 8, 2009 wedding and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Check out my new ring!!!

Life isn't always easy

So recently not many people know but Tony and I have been looking into moving out of our apartment. This may not sound like it is such a big deal but it really is because we are currently living next to our landlord who also is Tony's boss and family friend. So there really aren't any secrets held back from the family. Last week Tony came home from school and told me that Andrew and Emily (Andrew being Tony's close cousin, also best friend) asked him if we would like to rent a house with them. I knew I really had to think about this as it is not only a big decision for me to move but to move in with another couple that I don't really know all that well. And to top all of this off another thing that I have to keep in mind is that Tony is going to have to travel to MMA everyday for the next year at least! But i had to remember that I have been the one that has been traveling back to Bangor everyday for the last two years. This has become into a huge decision! After mulling it over for a few hours alone and with Tony I decided that I could do it. Hey after all I will come out with maybe a few new friends and if not that a good experience.

We found a house in Brewer that would be perfect for Tony to go to MMA everyday and it looked kinda nice that we (meaning Tony and I) really liked and I told Emily about it but she didn't seem too crazy over it so I kinda blew it off. She was all about this other house that was in Bangor and she worked with a girl that lives there now and she said that it was decent. I believed her and Tony went with Andrew and Emily to look at it on a Saturday (I had to work). Tony told me it was a dump so I didn't even bother ask any questions about it really. They found another house that same day on the outskirts of Bangor. I wasn't too keen on this place just because it was outer Bangor and I didn't want Tony to have to drive that far everyday. I went to look at it after work that day and what a site it was. I think a past clown lived there. It was a freak show. Even though I decided not to live there I at least got a good laugh through all this stress.

So after all of these house hunting failure stories I mentioned that I would still like to go look at the house in Brewer even if it wasn't all that great after all what was it going to hurt to look? I e-mailed the owner earlier in the week anyways hoping to get a response. But there was nothing so I told Emily that I was going to try to call him and see what I got for an answer. She went for it and I actually happened to get ahold of this guy. He made an appointment with me for Monday at 4:30. I called Emily back and she was all for it and she wanted to drive by it and look again at it. So we drove in the driveway and looked around and we all fell in love with it. Emily had already made an appointment with the same guy at 3:15 for an apartment in Bangor. After we figured it out I called the guy back and he said that it would be fine if we went to the apartment in Bangor first and then to the house in Brewer after.

We looked at the apartment in Bangor and after seeing that it was kinda scummy we all decided that we didn't want to live there after all and we wanted to just get the tour over so we could get to the house in Brewer. When we were all done looking at the scummy apartment we stood in the kitchen and the guy told us that the house in Brewer has already been looked at by some other people and they are going to take it and he should have the deposit by Tuesday. If they didn't get the deposit to him by Tuesday he would call us for sure to show us the house.

I called today to find out if he had gotten the deposit but of course there was no answer. I left a message telling him to call me back and he hasn't now it is 5:30pm, I called at 10:00am. Tony e-mailed the guy around the same time I called him and Tony got a phone call back within a few minutes telling him that the house hasn't been rented! We now have an appointment tomorrow at 1:00. The guy doesn't know that it is the same people that he denied the day before! He is going to be in for a huge surprise tomorrow when he sees us all there waiting to see the house. I can't wait!

UPDATE!!!

Tony is now back at MMA, and he is doing good. I am taking two classes in Bangor and after taking all the online classes I think I forgot how hard it is to maintain good attendance and good grades. I know I can get through it though.

I have been really busy recently, this past week Tony and I have been dog sitting at our apartment. Meg is the best dog ever and she loves to sleep in bed with you at night but I am not such a big fan about that. I have had a few restless nights. I can't wait for tonight because she is going to go back to her house.

Yesterday we got the best sticky snow ever! Meg and I went outside and played forever (I was trying to get her to sleep good last night, but it didn't really work) She was really funny in the snow even though she took a big fall. Today, I am so sore from being outside for so long, I guess it is good exercise to have a dog after all.


Since I haven't posted anything about Molly...this is my little Molly at Christmas playing with her new cash register! She is the cutest little girl ever!

Wisconsin pictures

one of the first signs we saw that said WISCONSIN!!! I think or maybe we weren't paying attention very well.

My big headed cheese girl!

you wanted embarrasing pictures...well here you go lady!
I love you a lot still even when you do this!

my best friend...on my way home from Milwaukee.

I miss my friend...

A lot of things have happened recently, but the most recent event in my life is Amanda. Amanda has now moved to Oak Creek, Wisconsin, 1314 miles away from me. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I am not a person that loves or even desires to say good bye to anyone. We left December 26, 2007 at 11:46am from Yarmouth, Maine. It wasn’t so bad; it never hit me until we drove into her new driveway in Wisconsin. I told her I was pissed because I didn’t want her to think I wanted her back here in Maine, because of my selfishness. I am very happy for her, she needs to see who she really is and come back to Maine (really soon). I never thought our friendship meant so much to me until she moved for good out to Wisconsin. I miss her so much I feel as though we are never going to see each other even though we said we would not go more than 3 months without visiting.

We had some really good times on the road and in Wisconsin. Mike took us out everyday, I think. We went to Hooters, a first time for me and Amanda. I’m still not sure where the girls’ clothes went. We also went to the Milwaukee County Zoo, which was a lot of fun; the gorilla is always going to be one of my favorite things that we saw.

For Christmas she gave me this wonderful necklace of an angel. I keep it close to my heart at all times (it is a necklace) and it means so much to me. I had a hard time even looking at it when she gave it to me because I thought about all the times we have shared together. I have had best friends before but nothing like her she is almost like my other soul mate, next to Tony.

I am happy to be home but I wish I could have spent some more time out there with Mike and Amanda; it would have been paradise if Tony could have been there. No the weather isn’t always nice but I loved it there. Maybe if I lived there for more than 4 nights I wouldn’t like it so much.

Amanda,
I want you to always remember that I am here for you. No matter what time of day or night it is I want you to always know that I am here and I am going to support you no matter what kind of decision you are going to make.

When you are feeling lost in the night
When you feel your world just ain’t right
Call on me, I will be waiting
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough
I’ll be the one to make it better
I’ll be there to protect you to see you through
I’ll be there and there isn’t a thing I won’t do
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero your strength
Anything you need
I will be your sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you
For you I will
