The Big Three Oh!

Happy birthday to my love Mark! It was 30 years ago today that he was brought into this world. He has decided that for his birthday he wants to go to Paul's pasta which is this super cute restaurant in groton, ct which over looks the water. I actually went here with my family for my birthday as well. The menu is delicious and so reasonable priced. Below are pictures of the menu as well as the front door of the restaurant. 
Front door to pauls pasta- the light makes it hard to see but still very cute! 
From this page I have tried a few things- mozzarella herb bread, 3 brothers pizza, and the Caesar salad
I actually have not tried anything off this page- but I love what is written under the kid section. BTW- check out those prices! 
This page I have tried- breaded chicken Alfredo and my favorite the paparadelle carbonara. Delicious!! 

Last year for marks birthday one of his gifts was a lighthouse ornament that had written "cape cod 2013" on it. I decided that every year from now on I will get him an ornament that has to do with us and that past year. So today (yes, I realize its a little last minute) I went and found two ornaments that I really liked and I decided to get them both. The first is a little white door and on the top was written "new apartment" and on the door I had them write 301, and on the bottom, Lowell, ma. Now I know that was last year but that is where him and I really started. The other one that I got was a little house, and on the bottom I had her write "1st home 2014". I am currently sitting in the restaurant waiting for him and I cannot wait for him to get here so we can enjoy a great meal and he can open his gifts.

I will be sure to post any pictures of meals from tonight!

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,
