Stacks are Dinning Out

-
Mark and I hardly ever have a date night out. I realized there are all these places to eat and try nearby, and we have barely been to any! Its time we start dating again :) I decided to do a 30 minute area from our new home. Then i went town by town and created this long list of every restaurant in the town. The ones i didn't add in the list were pizza place, Chinese food or any vegetarian places. Otherwise everything else is in the list. 

I hope that we will be able to have our date night once a week. What i did was print this long list, and the pages are all numbered. I will have Mark pick a number from 1-13 that will determine what page we will pick the restaurant from. Then i will check out the page, and see what towns are on that page. From there we will pick out where we are going. 

My hope is to write a post with a review of each place, and if we enjoyed it or not. After dinner, we will either put a check mark or an X through the bullet. Obvisouly a check means we liked it, X we did not. We will start this tomorrow.

Mark and I have been so good with saving money, so its time for us to go out together. Mark picked the number '7' and on that page was Old Saybrook and New London. Since Mark has the day off tomorrow, we will go to Old Saybrook since its farther away. So I've already picked out the restaurant, and we will have our date tomorrow! 

Here is a pic of the first page of the list.  

So excited to get started!

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,
