NO POWER:

We lost power around late Sat night/early Sun morning...
Thank God the weather is perfect because the windows are open and we are very comfortable.
There are power lines laying all over my back yard, as well as my neighbors. So, one of the hardest things during this adventure is keeping the kids from going near the area. Especially since the weather is perfect for playing outside.

What we miss most:
cooking!!!
playing in our back yard
garbage disposal
dish washer
washing machine
tape/cd players at night

Pantry organizing day...

I love my pantry...when we redid our kitchen I just had my hubby put a wall 2 feett out from the wall and added two doors. I just reorganized everything and it feels so great.

THIS IS THE LEFT SIDE:

THIS IS THE RIGHT SIDE:

My hubby is a AMAZON NUT...he orders everything from amazon. He is on the PRIME membership and even gets shipments automatically sent to him...for instance...spaghetti sauce...well, since I haven't been eating much pasta and he realized he has a wheat allergy...we need to stop that shipment.

This is some of what we have:
42 cans of sardines...don't ask, amazon deal
28 boxes of pasta
18 rolls of paper towels
14 jars of BBQ sauce
6 bottles of cooking oil
23 cake mixes
10 tubs of icing
16 boxes of jello/pudding mix
9 boxes of various crackers
9 bottles of salad dressing
6 containers of parm cheese
18 jars of peanut butter
13 bags of pretzels/gold fish
7 boxes of gran bars
2 jelly
9 cans of green beans
7 cans of pineapples
8 cans of baked beans
23 jars of spaghetti sauce (another amazon deal)
4 jars of mayo
11 jars of salsa
10 four pound containers of drink mix...what was my hubby thinking?
20 boxes of cereal
10 bags of nacho chips

So, come on over for some food and we will have a great time!!!

My first earth quake:

I experienced my first earth quake today...it was kinda freaky...the house started shaking and the big bell in the back yard rang...the kids were running around like crazy...my husband yelled everyone outside...I ran upstairs and grab my sleeping baby as the rest of the family ran outside.

We were all safe...I wish I could say the same for My Saint Maria Goretti statue...boo hoo...

Budget Wedding post one:

Buy your ties from Amazon

Have your sister make appetizers

Have your friend make the cake and cupcakes

Get eight suits from Goodwill, online, friends, and consignment shops...

Get shoes at consignment stores or from friends:

Buy your own table cloths and napkins....surprisingly it is cheaper than renting.

Have friends do your hair...little things add up.

Rent a hall and have lots of friends to help you set up the day before

Have Rehearsal dinner at a home with pizza, wings, and lots of other fattening fun food!

Have your awesome friends help put together the flowers

Order your flowers from a wholesaler or find a wholesale flower company.

Make and order your own decorations

these aren't even the ones that my family, friends, or the photographer took.
I may just post them all year long.
What a wonderful and glorious day!!!
