Falltime Weekend Visitors

-
This past weekend marks mom, sister and brother in law came down from MA/NH to visit and see the house. It was a really great weekend! We hung out for a little while when they first got here. Then we went to sunset bar and ribs to meet my parents for lunch. Lunch went really well, even though I was super nervous about his family meeting mine. After lunch we went back to my parents house so they could see where they lived and where Mark stayed the first few weeks of him being down here. We took a walk to the beach and chatted a little bit. Once we were done at mom and dads we all headed to the Christmas tree shop. We just shopped around for a bit looking for different things. We were only there because his sister was looking for something in particular and the one near her didn't have it. We also picked out a rug for our living room and his sister got it for us. It looks so pretty now! Below is the pic of the living room with the new rug.
She also got mark and I a huge beautiful mum for the house. It's sitting out on the front steps. Below is the pic of that.
Here is the card that she gave us. It is an actual pic that someone up by her in NH had taken. It's now up on the mantel near all my other fall decorations.
Anyways, we got back to the house after shopping and watched the movie cool runnings. It was a really good movie if anyone needs a suggestion! Then we had some dinner and not too much later they headed home. It was a wonderful day and I am excited for when his mom comes back and his dad comes along that time so he can see the house. But until next time...

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,

Falltime Bucket List Update #5

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,
