Summertime Madness

-
I had this great idea of summer: 
relaxing on the beach
floating in my pool
fun new outdoor activities
BBQ and picnic foods

Here is what summer has been so far:
wedding plans
wedding worksheets
phone calls
staying in the AC because its way too hot
designing centerpieces
buying wedding gifts for bridesmaids (and more)
finding spots in my home for all the boxes arriving
gluing tiny pearls to things while i burn my hand with the hot glue gun

*Sigh*

I am very much looking forward to the home stretch. If i can give anyone one word of advise-DO NOT mention the the bride "awe its coming up quick, are you ready?" Because when people say this to me all i want to do is start screaming and list off the hundreds of things i still have to get done. Instead politely i state: yes its coming along. Very excited. But inside I'm freaking out.

I mean, how is a bride supposed to work full time, manage her normal life of errands, and shopping, and cooking and cleaning, plus plan this large event for everyone to judge? I wanted this i know i did. I had the option to opt out and go off to some island. I was the one who said "i want to be able to plan it." Stupid me.

You can all see that my last post was the beginning of June. Which means that i have not found a few minutes of silence to even post on here. By the time i am finally done at night, I'm passing out with exhaustion.

Home stretch: a time where everything is coming together, however nothing is coming together. You know you only have XX amount of days until "the big day" and yet everything still seems a mess. Well baby, we are on the home stretch, and its up to me to make sure everything is done in time.

I may go a little crazy in the process, but its like everyone keeps saying "it'll be worth it in the end"??????

Stay tuned for my madness.

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,
