This Old House

So after many weekends of painting, Frankie finally got the exterior of the house painted. It looks beautiful. There's still a few more things that need to be done, but I am so proud of him. I think he did an amazing job. We don't own the house (we rent it from my uncle) but we're hoping someday that it will be ours.


This weekend was hectic. Saturday afternoon was spent at Frankie's Aunt's 65th birthday party in Brooklyn. After that we ran over to Kelly and Joey's new house to help them move in. They did so much for us when me moved into our place and we felt horrible not being able to return the favor. But since we couldn't miss his aunt's party, we figured helping at night was better than nothing. Of course, there wasn't much to do by then. They were very understanding about it and I think they were just happy that we stopped by so they could show off the new digs. The house is super big and really beautiful. I'm happy for them.

I spent most of the day today in funeral homes. The first wake was this afternoon for Steve's Grandfather in Brooklyn. Frankie worked most of the day today detailing cars, so he didn't make that one. I went with Jenn and Lauren. I was so glad I didn't have to go by myself. After that I picked Frankie up and we headed to the second wake of the day. A friend of the family's brother. Then we stopped with my parents to grab something to eat. Now I'm exhausted and need to get ready for work tomorrow.
