Bridesmaids Weekend

-

I had said for a while now that I wanted to get all the bridesmaids together for a weekend. When I was talking to Marks sister she suggested we look for dresses since we will all be together. We actually managed to all find a weekend that works. At first my MOH was not sure if she would be able to make it, but now she is, and I cannot be more excited! So Columbus weekend, Oct 10-11 we will all be getting together.

First I was trying to find a hotel that would hold all of us. Somewhere that had a suit, pool, and hot tub. Everywhere I called was completely booked! I mean, yes it is a holiday weekend and yes I was looking on the outskirts of Boston, but really? So then I found the courtyard in Andover, MA that had a suit available where it has 2 queen beds, and a separate living room with a pull out sofa. They have an indoor pool and hot tub. So I was so excited. I immediately put a hold on the room.

Then it was time to find bridal salons that were in the area so that I could make apts. I searched and searched. I found one called Christinas, right in the same town as the hotel. So I made an apt for early afternoon. I was trying to find another one, but all the ones that were coming up had bad reviews. Then Marks sister Cassandra told me about David’s Bridal. I made an apt for 10am at David’s Bridal.

Now is the fun part! I am planning out fun things that I could do for my bridesmaids, and what we could do for that weekend. I have figured out what I am doing as a little gift, but since it’s a surprise, I won’t post it until later. One thing I did do, was I found a modern polaroid camera. Since the theme is vintage, I thought it would be so fun to take pics of the wedding planning and weekends with that camera.  So that is in the mail and coming soon.

Then my MOH is coming home soon, so she is stopping at David’s bridal on the way home and picking up their bridal party magazine which has all their bridesmaid dresses in it, so we can look through it. Then we will hang out for the day & plan! So excited!

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,
