Long Two Weeks

-
I have been working for 12 days straight. Monday to the following friday. I was so excited for my weekend because Mark had the entire weekend off, and it was supposed to be beautiful out!! Then Friday morning i find out that i now have two visits to do from my per diem job (and i dont have a choice, i am the one on call). I literally started to cry...on the phone...with my boss. Yes super professional. But i calmed down and was able to figure it all out. 
Mark and I got a bunch done yesterday, we took all the glass out of our storm doors and put in the screens. Except, Mark opened the hood of my car to do my oil change, and there is coolant all over the inside of my car! He says it needs to be parked and taken right to Honda. This better be under warranty! I only have 6,000 miles on it. WTF. 
This week my goal is to start sanding down the bench that is in the front yard and to start painting it a fun color. Im thinking a blue, green or purple! Yay for spring! Re-doing the bench is kinda my trial run for when i do the kitchen table. 
I am also reading a new book! Slowly of course, but it is very good. I just need to spend more time reading, and less time with the TV on. Mark and i finally moved into the 21st century-we have cable! It was a whole big to-do, but now it is working great. 
Currently I am at the bowling ally, because Mark is in a bowling tournament. After this we are driving up to MA to pick up his bike because his father would like it out of the garage. So we will make the long journey up and back tonight, and then hopefully have a little time to ourselves tonight to get ready for work Monday morning. Well, it looks like Mark is done, and we will not be staying any longer...time to pack up and get ready to leave. Thats all for now. Maybe the next post ill do a wedding update!

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,
