Hello to everyone! It's been a YEAR since I've posted on our blog. I've started a new adventure. Let me first say, that I've not given up on my first passion.... That would be Mortgage Lending. I'm about to celebrate my 1 year anniversary at my current company and September will be 33 years in the busines. I love it! It is so awesome to be happy.
Now...to my new adventure. I've recently joined SeneGence International as an Independent Distributor. LipSense is our hottest item. It's long wear lip stick that is smudge proof and kiss proof. It can last up to 6 - 18 hours. There is nothing else on the market like it. I'd like to invite you to like my Facebook Page which is MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL . Share with your friends as well. I also can be contacted at MMOTWFenter@yahoo.com. My blog, which is not just about LipSense or make up is mirrormirroronthewallfenter.blogspot.com No web site yet, but it's on my "to do" list, along with several other projects. 36 available LipSense colors are below.
I plan to start blogging again. Trying to decide if I continue on with this blog, which has been around for many, many years, or if I start a new one. Or perhaps....I'll have more than one. It's always been fun to chronicle the antics at the Fenter Funny Farm. I'll give you a little update on all of us.
First....Danny! He's the same as ever, maybe a little more contrary. He works at Tom Thumb in Allen in the Bakery. It's' fun to stop by while he is working, to see him talking about bagels and birthday cakes with customers is awesome, not to mention his hair net. He likes working there and that is what is important. He and I have lived in McKinney since August of 2015. I say we live in the poor part of Stonebridge Ranch. No more country life for us. I do miss the wide open spaces and being able to fish at our old house in Weston, but do not miss the insurance bill, taxes, electric bill., etc. We will celebrate our 27th anniversary in October and are going on a cruise in August.
Next.... Ashley! Ashley got married to Greg a year and a half ago. They built a new house in Allen and it is GORGEOUS! At this moment, they have a pool and outdoor kitchen in full out construction mode. It is sure to be a show stopper when it's complete and many people have said how much they can't wait to enjoy it this summer. Myself included! She is happy. I'll type that again....she is happy, and that makes me happy. Her husband, Greg, works in the same industry as I. He is awesome to Ashley and the boys. The other day, I read a post on Facebook where he said "my son" and he was referring to Dylan. Made my heart sing.
Speaking of Dylan.... He just turned 16 on the 17th, and got his first truck. Ashley and Greg threw a birthday party at Blue Goose in McKinney, and surprised him by pulling the truck up behind the window where he sat. He jumped up, after Ashley did a little tearful speech, hugged her, hugged Greg and went out to see it. Yep...this Nana cried! He used to sleep curled up in a ball under my chin and now he is 16....yep, 16! He is just about to finish his Sophomore year in high school.
Not to ever be outdone by big brother, Colton will be 14 in June. He is a scooter junkie. Goes to the skate park every minute he can. He's even learned to do a flip on the thing. Yes, he wears a helmet. He also loves to tease me about my beloved Dallas Cowboys. Every.chance.he.gets! I'll try and find the video of him doing a flip.
As a family, they love to go to Mud Pits and ride their razors (4 wheel enclosed contraption of fun). Recently they went, and Dylan sent me a picture (at 3in the morning) that I turned my phone in every direction trying to figure it out. He was sitting in the Razor, with water above his waist. Colton and I talked about it...we decided there was NO WAY we were driving into a giant puddle of water, where you can't see the bottom or even know how deep it is.
And now to the "twins". They just turned TWENTY THREE this month! How time flies!
Colby is working for a company that stocks Tom Thumb stores and resets Albertson's stores. He goes in early morning, like 4:30am and gets off mid day. He's been there for over 3 years and really likes it. Colby recently moved to Sherman with a friend. Seems like yesterday that I was writing about his antics on this very blog (read back about 5 years ago, it's pretty entertaining!) If you remember his gray Dodge truck....we'll we sold it, after a lot of battle wounds. He now has a Kia and other than hitting a deer and munching the front (I yelled at him when he told me and said "if there is not hair on that car, I'm going to beat you"), it's a great car, after we put a new motor in it last year (sigh). He posted on FB Thursday that there were "cops on 121" and all I could think was "Wonder how he knows?" That 4 lb 1 oz preemie now stand 6' 2" with a full beard and curly red hair. This momma is challenged by him at times, but gosh I love that kid.
Chelsey is going to college at TWU in Denton and should finish in December. She has all on line classes, which is awesome, because she's able to work and go to school full time. She's been bartending at Razzoos for a while now. Money is good. She works weekdays only. She gave her notice on Thursday to go to work at Prime Lending for a summer internship. (May to August). It's funny... she has to be the only twin (or possibly the ONLY kid) born while her mom worked at Prime Lending and now she's going there. We shall see if she enters the crazy mortgage business that I've been in for nearly 33 years. She has been dating Wes for a little over a year. They are on the go a lot and recently went to the mud pits with Greg and Ashley. They go out and take Uber for transportation, which makes me laugh, but it sure is safer than driving! Chelsey is still driving "Lexie" that she got 7 years ago.... She now has 120,000+- miles and is still running strong. Windshield is still cracked (happened when I had it) and the bumper is sagging in one spot. Chelsey is blonde (color and extentions cover her strawberry blonde) and blue eyed and just makes my heart sing when she asks if I want to hang out on a Saturday morning.
And now for me....my name is now "PK" as everyone, except Colby, calls me. He still calls me Mom. I'm with SWBC Mortgage officing in Plano. September 10th will be 33 years since I learned how to spell Mortgage and made this a career. I have no idea how many thousands of loans I've been a part of, but it's a bunch. I still love this business. As you may or may not know, I was really sick in 2015. Ended up having my colon removed, had an ostomy bag for 3 months and then was converted back to my pipes inside being reattached and operating. It was a horrific ordeal, spending 45, 3, and 10 days in the hospital and rehab, but I'm healthy and happy these days and that is what matters most. Never take good health for granted. I did a 5K with Carla last year. She ran, I jogged and walked, but I did it. She had a sign up when I got to the end and I cried across the finish line....
Mom got married February of 2015 and travels and smiles all the time. I do not see her often, but I know she's in good hands with Bill and they are probably at Good Samaritan in Emory digging thru treasure as I type this. They have flowers and vegetable plants all over their yard. They may have watermelon in their front flowerbed... Both have a green thumb and it's fun to see what they have growing in every inch of dirt possible!
My sweet sister Carla, will celebrate her 11th anniversary, in June, to my awesome brother in law Paul. They live in Pittsburg, Texas. He owns Bradshaw Electric in Winnsboro and Carla owns Pizza Inn in Pittsburg. They are busy...all the time. Morgan, her daughter, got married in December and I was privileged to be a part of helping them put it together. Yep....Aunt Pam cried when she walked down the isle. Keifer, her husband, was in the Army until about a month ago. They are now enjoying civilian life in Sulphur Springs.
Weekend before last Danny and I took Mary, his Mom, to Van Vleck to visit her sister (hi Aunt Jackie!). I think they talked non stop for a couple days. Danny's sisters, Susan and Judy are n Greenville. Both doing well. All his step-brothers and sisters and families are doing well. Jeannine doesn't blog anymore, but has many funny FB posts! Jeannette is now a snake handler in Alba, Texas. Johnny is still in Sulphur Springs, probably making everyone laugh...just like he does us. Jackie and Lisa are in Point, and I'd guess they are playing with their grandbaby River as I type this.
I think this gives everyone a run down of how things are at the Fenter Funny Farm... Now, go check out my FB page and order some lipstick! Will post more often, I promise.
Much love,
PK
