Sorry I haven't been on, but been busy trying to figure it all out. I have been tired a lot and hope it is just my nerves. I am creating all the centerpieces and am trying to think of something creative for my bouquet. I found this great box at a thrift store for 3 dollars and am going to revamp it for a card holder. I have decided to take some of my house decorations for gifts as well. I am trying to find cheap ways to light up bottle without cutting them and at the same time, doesn't look tacky. DOY doesn't HAVE to look cheap. My goal is for everyone to have good food and lots of fun. I know that my wedding won't save the world or help a child in need, and I wouldn't want to take away from their importance, but I would just like to celebrate the fact that I am marrying the man of my dreams. To be honest, I do not know where the money is going to come from for the rest of this, but thanks to two old friends...I am going to be able to look good and have some decor. Now for the food and entertainment.....Thanks for reading my blog.

I am very humbled today. I have some great people in my life. I have a lot to be thankful for and people to thank. This weekend marks the 60 day count down.

So, today, the day after this post I get a visit from a police officer looking for my ex. 2 years ago I took a warrant out on him for communicating threats and they have never been able to find him. Ironique for this to happen today. It brought back some sad and hurtful memories, but I am not letting it bring me down. Thanks to all who take the time to read this. We are enjoying the 4th at home with the TV and old movies. We may watch the fireworks. I hope all of you have an enjoyable day. Thank you to those who keep our independence there!! Dreams do come true...

Our Wedding

I am not yet Andrea Conley, but will soon be. My name now is Andrea Mono. September 8, 2012, I will be marrying the man of my dreams. I have had two failed marriages to cheating and abuse. The last one actually cut me on the arm. So, how do I know this one is right? He has brought ME back. Back to my family, back to my dreams and back to life. He has given me opportunities, without complaint, to do things I have wanted to do all my life, but have never done. So, when he finally said he wanted to set the date, I was more than happy. We have had a couple rough years with my diabetes and job losses. The wedding will be simple, but nice. I am wanting a wedding to finally bring family in (especially my own) to our lives and show a new beginning. Previous relationships have hindered my relationship with my family. Being an interracial couple has it's tests, but thankfully my family approves and loves him.  I have planned a budget of $1500 that everyone thinks is impossible, but not for me as I have always had to travel the harder road and fight against all odds. However, with all the trials and tribulations we have had, even that small amount seems too far fetched to reach. That is why I have created this blog. Some one suggested seeing where at could and reminded me that every dollar counts. I am hoping someone or some people will want to contribute a dollar to make this dream come true. If not, then please put this in your prayers. Thanks to all who have taken the time to read. 

Truly Happy,

Andrea
