Selling Fog Plain

-
I met with our realtor Nina, and after a bunch of pictures, and a bunch of paperwork that i had to sign, the house was officially listed online on a Friday. I was told the For-Sale sign would be up any time between Monday-Wednesday. 

Monday I was crazy busy, and so i thought for sure that by the time i got home from things that the sign would be up. But it wasn't. So then for some reason i just assumed it wouldn't happen on Tuesday, it would be Wednesday. Well Tuesday after getting a few things done, i was driving down the road, when i could see my house and a white sign stuck in my yard. 

I parked the car, and just sat there for a moment. I tried to hold back tears as i thought about leaving my first home. The home where my husband and i got married, and where we returned to after our honeymoon. This is the home i worked so hard to get, and made the outdoor living space my dream. I have so many memories here in our home.  

We have been on the search for a new home, but have yet to find anything. Mark and I don't always agree on our next house. We agree on the concept, but not the actual house. 

I really want a 4 bedroom house, the way i think of it is that if we have 2 or 3 kids, and they will each have their own room. If we only end up having 2 kids, then we will have a guest room. A garage is important to Mark, and the space inside is important to me. 

Well lets be real, its all important to me. I am the picky one in this relationship. Mark loves any house, as long as there is more space than our current 900 sq ft (which everything we look at is bigger) than Mark likes it. I have to be the one to reel him back in and point out the reason it won't work or why i want it different. 

I think it will be helpful for me emotionally when we find our next home. So instead of being sad about leaving, i can look forward to the next house and start to think about all the areas that i can make our own.

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,
