Summertime Beach Bum

Visit a Pumpkin Patch On 10/21/14 Mark and I went to a pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins that we are going to carve. While we were there we also bought brussel sprouts and apple cidar. I haven't been to a pumpkin patch in years and it was really cool to go back to one. There were some really cool pumpkins there...oh and a big carrot which you can see in the pic of Mark.   Make Fall Cookies On 10/19/14 I made pumpkin cookies with a glaze. I was worried about how they would turn out, but they actually turned out really good! Super yummy and i want to make more now. Below is the link from where i found the recipe. I added a little more than 1 C of pumpkin to mine though. I also added a little extra of the powdered sugar for the glaze to make it a bit thicker. Def recommended.  https://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/32364/old-fashioned-soft-pumpkin-cookies/ Glow Bowling  On 10/16/14 Mark and I went up to Norwich bowling to their Thursday nights glow

I have been in training all week like the previous few weeks, and they had talked about allowing me to go out on my own today. At first they were only going to give me 2 patients, but then they needed more help and asked if i could handle 4 patients on my own. Of course i told them that it was no problem. Today went just fine too. So i was very excited to be on my own, and i look forward to being able to do more on my own so that i don't have to keep shadowing. Enjoying it all so far :)

Like what I had posted before, I found a good list that is titled: 20 Thing You Should Know About Dating An Independent Girl 1. We need alone time. A little each day and more than a little on other days. It doesn't mean we've lost interest in you.  2. We don't mind if you don't call or text us every second. We like it. We wont be contacting you either. That said, if you're late, don't keep us guessing as to when you'll show up as we'll make other plans.  3. We can clean up our own messes. We're not waiting around for you to fix our problems.  4. We are perfectly fine doing chores, running errands, and exercising by ourselves. If you want to join us, we're glad to have you along, but don't talk to us while we're in the zone.  5. We sign up and attend charity events, races, and cultural exhibits on our own. We don't need a date to feel comfortable at these things. Set us loose in a room with a bunch of

I had mentioned a little while ago about starting a new book that I was really into. Well last Thursday I finished it! It is: The Next Always by Nora Roberts. This is book one of the Inn Boonsboro trilogy. It is a story of a small town with three brothers known as the Montgomery brothers who own a construction company started by their late father. Their big project during the book is completely re-building this old Inn. The other main characters are three best friends named: Claire, Avery and Hope. This book goes into the friendship of one brother named Beckett and Claire, the girl he's loved since elementary school. Its not just a simple love story when you add in brothers, a ghost, a stalker and 3 young boys. Something cool about the actual physical book is the beautiful cover and on the inside of the front and back cover is a little map of the town so you can see where things are that are mentioned in the book. Great story! I have already started on book two and I can't wait
