To sale or not to sale that is the ?...

Ok as some of you know I got married 8 months ago (6/11/10) & I still have my wedding gown at my mother's house. I loved it from the moment I saw online to the moment I tried it on & knew that was the dress. It made my wedding day so much more special because I felt beautiful in my gown.

So I got on craigslist today & I was searching some stuff for sale & decided to see if they had any wedding gowns for sale. They did & then the idea dawned on me....."I should sell my wedding gown" I mean I'm never going to wear it again. I love it but should I have it stuffed away in a box under my bed collecting dust when another young fortunate woman can feel the way I felt in it the day of my wedding day.

I asked my husband what he thought but I really think he doesn't want me to sell but like I tell him, "I'm never gonna wear it again & if we renew our vows I would buy another dress".

My dress was originally for $899 & I bought it for $599 at David's Bridal. Along with all the accesories which brought the total up to $1000 so I was thinking that I can sell everything for $600-$700. What do you guys think? Is it a fair price, should I even sell my dress or hold on to it for at least another year & see how I feel about it then?

It has a lot of bedding detail on the front & back of the dress..look at the pics...like I said it is beautiful. Please help me I'm torn in what I should do.

I'm also planning to see the gown that I bought for the Marine Corps ball this year. I mean I can't wear it again next year so I will sell it for $80 when I bought for $140 at David's Bridal. Especially now that prom is coming I might be able to sale it quick.

Wordless Wednesday...

We love being from New Jersey but are ready to tackle a new state...lol



Trying To Save...

I would like to know why it is so hard to save. I mean my husband & I are doing great financially....thank God. But now that we only have one car we have to save to buy a another since Angel's car died during the Holidays. I am stuck taking the train to work & he uses my car to go to work.

We try to save but we are also young & like to go out so the money we have left over from our paychecks we used to go out. I'm not trying to say that we go out every weekend & spend but we since the new year started we have been going out at least one day in the weekend. Or spend money on food & have people over. So Angel & I were talking yesterday & decided that we are going to start going out either once or twice a month on the weekends so we can start saving more money.

Let's hope we don't fall in to temptation & go out more then what we agreed to do from now on.

Why Me...

I don't understand why I can't get along with my mother....I mean I'm married moved out of the house do my own thing & she still wants to meddle in my life & tell me what to do.

For instance, I only live 2 blocks away from her & we see each other everyday since my husband & I have only one car now. I ride with her in the mornings take her to work, drive myself to work & then I pick her up in the afternoon.

The thing is she says I never help her (mind you....I set up all the monthly payments for her bills to go out every month & I even help her pay 2 bills) which I know is a lie but it still bothers me to hear. She was telling my this morning that she went to her tenant's apartment & was telling me that she hasn't taken care of the apartment at all. Hasn't fixed the simple things that she could & because of her she has mice in the garage. She can't afford to kick her out because then she won't have money to pay for the mortgage for the time that the apartment is empty.

After my mom told me about all of that she told me that it was stupid for us to get a dog & that instead of buying it why don't we buy ourselves clothes & other things. She kept going on & on about me not sending my wedding dress to the cleaners soon enough, about us still not getting our wedding picture album, etc, etc. I mean she really did make me feel like shit during that moment. I know that I said that I would let everything that she says to me slide but I just can't, it hurts especially coming from my mother. It's not like I ask her for any help, I just try to keep her happy & that still sin't enough, I got married with a great man (which she still can't stand), have my own place, pay my own bills, etc & still nothing is ever good enough.

I wonder if anything will ever change between us......

Soo Annoyed...

Ok I know that my husband & I don't always have to be together  & hangout with the same people all the time.....but then there are days that I would just love to hangout with my husband in my house ALONE!!!

We have this friend (well I meet him through my husband) that just loves to be here with us. No matter if I tell him that I don't want him here during the week but only in the weekend especially if he has his daughter. I love kids but the way he is with his daughter is ridiculous. I mean she is soooooo spoiled & don't even want her around. I feel bad because she is only 4 & he want's my husband & I to be her God-Parents. 

Anyways, he called my husband today asking if he can come over & of course he said ok. I was signaling him to tell him NO but he didn't say....hid excuse "he didn't want to look like an asshole" but since I didn't say something soon enough he came over. He is here right now & I'm just grinding my teeth while smiling. It really pisses me off that I always have to look like the bitch but my husband won't ever tell him no so I have to do it sometimes. 

Sometimes he doesn't have any consideration for us & the fact that we are still newlyweds. There are weeks that he is here from 6-11 Mon-Fri, that gets me sooo pissed. I still remember the day that we came home from our Honeymoon & he stood at our place until alomost 1AM. We couldn't even have alone time then. It's ridiculous already, I won't take away that he is a great guy & if you ever need anything you can always count on him but doesn't take hits from me that I don't want him at our place. 

Now can you guys tell me if I'm being a bitch for not wanting him to be here with his daughter every freaking weekend & almost every day during the week alone? 

So Excited

I can't believe that I will finally have my puppy home with us on Saturday night. We have to take a 4 hr drive to Pennsylvania but it is going to be well worth it for our baby girl. Like Angel says "I'm going to have my two girls home when I come back from mt deployment....lol."

The owner sent me an updated picture of her yesterday & that made us want to go yesterday & pick her up. Hope is the cutest little thing, that is what they named her because she was born so close to Christmas (12/14/10). Anyways, I'll leave you with her first pic ever & the one from yesterday.

XBOX Kinect

Ok so my husband & I were supposed to go to a NJ Nets basket ball game last night but since our friend got there almost an hr & 1/2 after the game started we just decided to stay home eat dinner & play on the Kinect. I bought Dance Central a few weeks back & that is what Angel (my husband's nickname Tito) & Gaby (Angel's friend) decided to play. The funny thing was that they decided to battle each other & choose to do the song Dip It Low by Christina Milian. 

It was too funny we were just laughing & having a great time with friends. Now I will leave you with the videos, I just wish I could rotate them though but that is how they uploaded to youtube. Enjoy!!!

The first one is my husband Angel.

This is Gaby
