Burlington VT-Bowling

-
On Friday as soon as I was done with my patients Mark and I headed up to Burlington Vermont. We arrived up at the hotel around 4:30. Mark drove as I continued to work. We make this trip every year around this time because mark is in a bowling competition. Friday night it was a friend of ours Birthday, so we all went out to dinner. After dinner we all went to one of the hotel rooms to hang out and drink. I was exhausted though because I had just worked 12 days in a row, so I called it a night early. 

Saturday we made good use of the pool/hot tub, and then it was time to bowl. Nikki and I went into town for a few hours, then back to watch the men bowl. As soon as Mark was done we rushed out of the bowling ally and headed to another hotel 26 minutes away. A few weeks prior a friend of ours that we had met on the cruise told us he was proposing to his GF. We learned it was the same weekend and same town in VT where we would be. So I helped him create a plan, and we were going to make it happen. Unfortunately, Marks bowling got started late, so we didn’t make it to dinner. 

We caught them at the end for dessert. When Mark walked into the restaurant Kaideys mouth dropped open. We were successful in making it a surprise. After dessert we asked to see the room. What Tom did was schedule with the wedding coordinator to come into the room after 5 and spell out on the bed “Will you Marry Me” in rose petals (my idea!) So when we asked to see the room we walked up with them. Fortunately, the bedroom was a separate area, and the door was shut. Kaidey was showing the kitchen and living room area, and I finally pipe up, “let me see the Jacuzzi!” since she had told me they had a Jacuzzi. When they opened the bedroom door, there were the roses, and I have a great pic of Kaidey looking at tom when she realized what it was. It was awesome. Mark took a video of the whole thing, while I took pics. It was a really great moment filled with kisses and tears! We then celebrated after with a round of drinks, and mark and I got a sandwich since we missed dinner. It was great to see them, and I look forward to getting to see them again. 

On Sunday Mark had more bowling, and that is where I am now. I am meal planning for the next two weeks, and just getting some things done. Below are a few pics from the proposal. So cute!

Right after she said yes!

Love how it came out!

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,
