Myrtle Beach

-

Back in March Mark had about a week left of vacation, and if he didn’t use it up, he would lose it. So we tried to find a place that was kinda warm, but that we could still drive to and that wouldn’t be super expensive to stay at for a week. While I was at the gym (when living in my old apartment) I thought about Myrtle Beach. Neither Mark nor I had ever been. I started to look up room rates, and they were very reasonable, and most of the hotels there had kitchens so we could buy and bring our own food to save money.
The hotel we stayed at was called the Polynesian Beach Resort. We stayed for 7 nights, and we drove al the way down there. The full 14 hours. On the way down i drove 12 out of the 14, and drove through the night and through a snow storm. It was long, but it was an experience. We didnt have that great of weather when we were down there. Only 2 of the days was very warm and sunny, so we made sure to find other things to do in the area on the rainy/cold days. It was a great trip, one that i will always remember. Maybe someday we will get to go back down. We took hundreds of pictures, but here are a few from that week.

 Mark and I walking the board walk. We walked down here several times, even when it was quite windy and cold! 
 One of our rainy days we went to a car show. It was very cool and Mark it enjoyed it as well. 
 This is a picture of the high ropes coarse. Mark and I got tickets to go on the high ropes coarse and the zip line. It was a blast and we bought the picture of us on the zip line. 
 Our tickets for the ropes course and zip line. 
 Any time we were sitting at the beach i was studying and preparing for my final nursing exams. 
 Our hotel room was two rooms, this is the picture of the bed room and outside of here there was a little balcony. 
 This is the room you first walk into, the bed was pulled out, but it was a couch. Then there was a bathroom that connected the two rooms. 
 Here you can see the kitchen and the little table we could eat at. 
 Mark cooking me dinner. We brought our george forman grill. These were steak tips that were so good!

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,
