Summertime Weekends

-
Let me start off by saying i love my weekends during the summer. Mostly, i am off from work, i get to see my family, and of course, i get to see Mark :) This past weekend i had a great day. Saturday my dad had his company work picnic at Lake Compounce. Which is CT's little amusment park. Included in our tickets were admission to the park, along with a full lunch buffett and dinner buffett. By the time my family got it all together and got to the park, we were all hungry and lunch was open. So the first thing we did was eat. Lunch was good, between burgers, mac and cheese, taco bar, potato salad, kielbasa, the list goes on! Then after we hit up the water park for a little while. After we were going on different rides such as the roller coasters, bumper cars, and everything else in between. It ended up being a really great night. Mom, dad, ryan and michael left early, and Mark and I stayed for another half hour or so. It was a great night with my family and with Mark :)
On Sunday we all just hung out for the day. We went to good will (something to know about me-i really only shop at thrift stores) to find Mark new work clothes, although we didnt find much for him. We found a few other good items for the house though. Then we got some food for dinner. When we got home we went down to the beach and swam around for a bit. Let me just tell you how nice it is to be able to take a quick walk down to the beach. You dont have to feel like you need to stay there all day since you had to pay for parking or something like that. It really is such a nice thing. Then we started a fire to burn all the wood left over from installing our windows, and cooked up some dinner. We all ate outside around the fire to end our weekend. 
Not the best quality picture but Mark and I leaving the park :)

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,
