New Career

Today my best friend and I are having a good day. We started doing more furniture, and are preparing for a yard sale tomorrow because Craig’s list is not showing us much love. We have been doing the furniture for almost a month now and bless Monette’s heart for being patient with me, you see I have never done work like this before, and as a matter of fact it has always been the opposite for me meaning manual labor was always a last option type of deal. I am Mexican, but I am not that kind of Mexican. If you are looking for an Aguallo that does labor, and works on cars, houses, or any other duty that causes fatigue please feel free to refer to my father. I need to go get my nails done. I have to get back to work before the foreman docks my pay again. lol

Learning Humility

The idea Monette had for doing our wedding came up before we got engaged. While we were dating her friend and Monette were talking about this idea and brought it to my attention. I am not going to lie I was not excited about the idea at first because I knew I loved her but I was not sure getting married based on a date that coincides with the number of times she has been married was something that I would like. Monette may not agree with me on this; however, she has been the hardest person I have ever met to make happy, and that’s not even her fault. You see I am going to disclose a little secret right now; I have never met someone that their opinion mattered so much to me. I have been known to be stubborn and arrogant thinking that as long as it makes sense and seems like the right thing to do to me that the choice I made was the best course of action. Monette being happy, even though I am not always a success has been increasingly more of a priority to me. I know that I can’t personally make her happy but I know that I can influence it to a certain extent by being a better person. So since being with Monette it’s been like my daily goal to be better so her and the 2 boys (Bryson, Michael.) Some days I have had the humiliation of failing before we even get out of bed in the morning, but that just means I get to spend the day making up for my inadequacies. It’s been really hard trying to keep up with someone that I view as perfect but on the days I do it right it’s worth it.

If someone has some tips on how I can do things that work well because I am kind of clueless on the romance, and thoughtfulness department especially when it comes to being original. That would be great, at least for the purpose of ideas.

My 11th prospect!

Hey everyone! It's Monette, the crazy woman that thought I found true love always and married 10 times before!;-) Now it is my turn to tell my side:-) When I first met Anthony, I worked with his mom and she told me she wanted him to come interview. When I met him he was a tall awkward 14 year old boy with the biggest heart that I had ever seen! I loved him instantly because of his sweet and funny personality. I had just gotten married to my second husband and we soon moved away.  Over the years I ran into his mom a few times and I always asked about Anthony. He came to see me when he was about 23. I was so happy to see him and I just still loved this great guy. He was single and I was in between marriages. I still never considered dating him. I have worked with many people over the years but for some reason I never forgot him or his family. When he contacted me in Dec. of 2010, I was so excited! I sent him my number and I told him to call me. I had been through so much. It is easy for me to joke about my stupid past but I was so tired and I didn't want to be with anyone. I was pretty jaded when it came to men and I was happy that someone that I loved was going to come hang out with me. Once again I had no plans on dating him. I just wanted my friend back in my life. When he came out to see me I saw him and oh my gosh! He was so tall, dark and handsome! I ran up and hugged him and when he put his arms around me I felt so comfortable and like we had always been together. It was such an amazing moment I can't put it in words. I assured him that there would be girls his age at the place we were going. I hoped he'd find one because the only thing worse than being in a relationship with guy to me was being in a relationship with a 28 year old! Despite my hesitation, we were completely comfortable the whole night. I told him all the deep dark secrets of my life because I felt like my long lost best friend that I could trust with anything was back! He took me home and I took him into the clubhouse to show him the tree I decorated. We sat and talked for hours. I don't know if I was shaking because it was cold or if it was because we had our faces so close and I so wanted him to kiss me so bad! I fell in love with him that night. He finally leaned in and kissed me. I didn't want him to leave. We have had some really tough times since then but conatantly he keeps showing up in every way for me. I have never had that before. I have tried to push him away and have been so scared so many times. How could this be real hadn't I thought that 10 times before?:-) I so love this man and I still feel that feeling when he hugs me. He is my home. Both of our children that live at home are estatic that we found each other because they both have a parent that they have been missing. Ok enough of the serious stuff...There have been way to many funny stories that have gotten us here and I can't wait to share! Oh and to help you out if the writing is in pink it is me. Blue means Anthony is talking. Sometimes I just like to point out the obvious! LOL 

15 years in the making!

I met Monette 15 years ago on January 26, 1996 at Smith’s Food & Drug. She was the in store coordinator and she is the person that gave me my job there. I forgot to mention that I was 14 years old at the time. She was like she is now from what I can see. She did not spend too much time hanging out with me probably because I was under aged and she was 28. In fact the only time we did spend together was when I helped her and her then husband move (Ken #2 & #3). Monette was not working at the store long before she transferred to a Vegas store. I only saw her once in between then and now for a couple hours.

Early December of 2010 had come and I was out with my mother and my mother’s friend Connie. Please don’t ask me why, let’s just say it was by chance so that everything could unravel the way it was supposed to. The two were talking and Connie an old friend of Monette’s had brought her up in conversation telling stories, and if you know Monette for more than an hour than you are sure to have a story to back it up with. It was that same night after I left the two and got to a computer to look Monette up, a bit cheesy but I missed her and I was compelled to reunite with an amazing woman. I sent her a message on Facebook; unaware to me that she lived on Facebook and responded to me in less than 24 hours, and in the middle of work I received her phone number and called her immediately. I had asked her if she wanted to see each other in a couple days for the weekend but she was not having that she wanted me to come up the same night. I didn’t put up any struggle because I wanted to see her too. I told my boss I had to get off early because I lived in Salt Lake and she was living way out in Eden. Like a 2 hour drive but I stayed the course and drove out through the canyon on a snowy night to see my old friend. When I got to her place to pick her up, I met Bryson for the first time, and her “roommate” Shelly. Obviously my jaw hit the floor when Monette came around the corner and she smiled. She made a B-line towards me and gave me the patented hug. We left to some hickory farms tavern out in Eden where all the locals went for a drink…. All 20 of them. Of course there was Karaoke and Monette sang great and in between her catching me up on the last 15 years and telling me that she had been married 10 times before. After a few hours and Monette calling a friend that will not be named, up to come hang out, but this was a night that he was being a boob and told her that he was going to come in his pajamas. He did come and thankfully not in his pajamas, tragically he was wearing his ridiculous cowboy hat and huge belt buckle. I met a couple locals the first night and everyone loving Monette we had people constantly coming over to talk. We stayed until closing and I took her home. We have been together ever since.
