Beach House Memories

-
I just finished the second book in the Beach House trilogy by Mary Alice Monroe. Now, in the first book, there is mention of an affair that happened about 30 years ago. I remember thinking when i read the first book, that i would like to read more about that love affair. Beach House Memories is a story told by Lovie, the main character, going back to the summer of 1974, where she met Russell Bennett, the love of her life. The story is about the summer they shared together, and the relationship that they built. It also showed more into her relationship with her husband who turns abusive towards her. The book even takes you through the death of her lover. There was something that i wish the book had covered. In the first book she tells her daughter that after the death of Russell, his attorney shows up and tells Lovie that Russell had left her the land where their dune sat, which is where they fell in love. I would have liked this book to cover that, because i would have enjoyed reading what Lovie thought about the love of her life leaving her that land to forever be hers. The last chapter in the book brought her back to present day, which was actually where the first book was. It takes you through Lovies death just like in the first book, however this time, it has Russell calling for her just as she takes her last breath. I was so happy when i found out that The Beach House was part of a trilogy, and book two certainly did not disappoint. Now onto book three!

Here is my post about Book One: The Beach House

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,
