Summertime Weekend in MA & NH

-
Friday night i headed up to Haverhill MA. Once Mark was out of work he gave me a call and kept me company on my drive up. He was picking something up after work that he found on Craigs List for our house, and we actually ended up meeting each other on the high way. Once at home we had an easy night with dinner and Greys Anatomy. 
Saturday was Mark's last day at Commonwealth Motors in Lawrence, MA. While he was stuck at work for the day, i went to the beach with his mom, aunt and their friend. It was a nice relaxing day, although i got quite sun burned! I also got a bunch of the book read that i posted before. We headed back home around 2 ish and then Mark got home from his last day of work. We went out shopping and then i made him a yummy dinner! 

Basil cream sauce on penne pasta with green beans in a parmesean, garlic and herb seasoning with garlic bread. It was so good! 

Sunday we got up and went to his sisters house in NH for the day. When we first got there we all went out on the boat. His sister and him actually water skiied. It was cool watching them do that. I wanted to try, but that day i wasnt feeling brave enough. When we got back we hung out and then eventually cooked out. DInner was really good...that was when we tried my asparagus...posted below...At the end of the night we all said our good-bye's/see you soon's...
Monday morning Mark and I headed to CT...and the adventure began!

Happy New Years

Every year people make all kinds of resolutions... and typically people drop them by the second week in january, or if they are lucky, they can hold on until february. I had seen online the other day someones resolution was for people to start loving who they were and to accept themselves and to stop trying to always change.  NOW, i love that resolution and i hope people are able to accept who they are, except in my case i am not healthy, and not only do i want to become healthy, but i am stretching for a much larger goal, and i hope that i can accomplish it! Every year we always see the magazines post online and publish in their magazines people who are now half their size, and the before and after pictures. I want to be one of those people. I want to work and push hard to become someone who is proud for becoming healthy and fit.  I do have something as motivation, and that would be my cruise that is next year. I DO NOT want to look the way i currently am on the cruise, nor do

Safe Haven

 **SPOILER ALERT** I typically do not like to read the books that get turned into movies because i will usually end up hating the book or the movie. However, when i was up at bowling i got talking to one of the other girlfriends who hang out up there and we got talking about Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. She suggested to read it, and she even gave me her copy of the book.  Ive had it for a few months now, and still didnt read it. I started about a month ago, and for the first few chapters, the book followed the movie, so i could almost see the movie playing in my head as i read. So i put the book down for a while. Just this past week i picked it back up again, and i finished it within days. The story is different.  In the movie Alex finds out about Katie's past because of the "wanted" poster up with her picture, however it really plays more into him finding out and its more a gradual thing in the book. It also shows her relationship with Jo more than in the movie,

Visit a Corn Maze  On 10/23/14 Mark and I went to a corn maze before Michael's football game. It was shaped like a vikings hat, and it was actually really fun. I had been to one when i was little and i had always wanted to go back to one. I was finally glad that i found one that was affordable! Last year all the corn mazes i had found cost about $30 or more. This one was $7! Perfect and i can not wait to go again next year.  Visit a Fall Festival  On 10/25/14 the town of Essex, CT held their annual pumpkin festival. I had been many years prior when i was babysitting someone, and i loved it! This year i made sure to look up the date, and when Mark got out of work we drive 30 minutes. The festival was fun! They had all the pumpkins that were carved and lit up. They had a band playing music and food and hot chocolate. It was a nice little festival to walk around together with my boy.  Carve Pumpkins  As you know we had bought pumpkins a few weeks ago,
