There Arose Such A Clatter

Merry Christmas all! I know i am a few days late, however like i had posted in another post, the night we came home from christmas at my parents, our basement was flooded. So we were a little preoccupied.

I hope everyone enjoyed their days!

On Xmas eve both mark and i had to work, so when he was out at 3PM i met him at his work, and we left from there and drove 2.5 hours up to NH to spend the night with his family. We had a nice time. Here are a few pictures from that night.

We left around 10 PM that night and due to all the fog on the drive home we didn't get home until around 12:30 AM. Then we were dealing with our cats misbehaving, and breaking things, so we didn't get into bed until around 2:30 AM, so we were very tired. *There was a new tradition that we started, we are going to read "The night before christmas" every year, and then write in the inside cover of the book something about our past year. So on the way home Mark read the story to me, and then we wrote on the inside, "got engaged, planning a wedding and our 1st cruise 2015" I hope to do that every year, and it would be cool to see all the different years. 

On Christmas morning Mark and I woke up late since we went to bed so late. We opened a few gifts up from each other, then packed up the car and headed to mom and dads. We had appetizers all day, and opened gifts. Then we all hung out. Here are some pics from that day.

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,
