Bridesmaids Weekend: Part Two (Hotel Festivities)

-

From there we headed to the hotel to check in. Athina, Janette and I went in to check in. Waiting for me was a gift bag that had been dropped off at the hotel by Ashely, my bridesmaid who couldn’t make it to the weekend. We all checked in at the hotel, and got into the room. The room was nice. When you first walked in to the left was a bathroom, and to the right was the bedroom with two queen beds. Then straight ahead was the living room with a TV, couch, two arm chairs, desk chair and a sliding door out into the courtyard. We all sat down and hung out for a little while. I gave them all their champagne glasses, and I opened up my gift from Ash. It was those painted wine glasses, the bridal bouquet one with a bottle of champagne. So cute! Lauren had also brought a bottle of champagne so we wrapped it in a cold cloth and put it in the fridge. We all had a champagne toast. Meanwhile we picked out a place for dinner and made a reservation for 7pm.

When we were done we headed to the hot tub. It was so relaxing! So much so that Cassandra actually fell asleep. I also took a dip in the pool since I always get way too hot in the hot tub. We went back and got ready for dinner. We went to Salvatores.

Salvatores was fun. We all had a different meal and we all tried each other’s. We also got a really cute group picture of the 6 of us. Here it is below. I got the broccoli chicken alfredo, Julie got a salad, athina a BBQ chicken flat break. Cassandra got the chicken picatta with pasta, janette the steak tips salad and Lauren the chicken parm with pasta.


On the way back to the hotel one car stopped at the liquor store, and our stopped to buy ice cream. We all just hung out at the hotel and found something on TV. I gave the girls the ice cream sundae boxes, and most had a sundae. Lauren started to eat the hot fudge right out of the jar!





Eventually we all called it a night. In the AM people were packing up and heading out. Janette and I were the last ones, and we ate breakfast together at the bistro. I then too headed home.



I just remember waking up that AM and thinking, its all over! All that planning, and now its over. But it was a really great weekend, and I look forward to the future wedding planning.

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,
