Theater Thursday

It's Thursday and that can only mean one thing around here... It's Theater Thursday! This week's featured movie is newer and based on the Nicholas Sparks book, Safe Haven. 

Safe Haven stars Julianne Hough as Katie, a young woman who's on the run and trying to escape her past. Leaving everything behind Katie finds herself in a small, coastal town of North Carolina. Still living in fear of being discovered, Katie rents an isolated cabin in the woods and takes a part time job at seafood restaurant. Once she meets the locals she realizes that everyone seems to be welcoming her with open arms... including the general store owner Nick (Josh Duhamel). 

Nick is a young widower who's raising two small children. When his wife died he decided to stay in town and keep running the general store with his uncle. However since then, he's been living his life single and taking one day at a time. When Katie walks into his store and into his life he realizes that things could be looking up. Katie on the other hand is scared of everyone and doesn't know if she can let her guard down. 

Can these two end up together? Can they both let their guards down? If you haven't seen this movie check it out. It's based on a Nicholas Sparks novel.

Weekend Review

It all started with cake... 

Since a lot of my coworkers and I actually worked on Memorial Day we decided to bring different things into work for the week. I made this chocolate cake and people seemed to really like it! I might try to bake something really different this week but since my schedule is getting pretty hectic I don't know if I'll be able to find the time. Baking is no joke! 

Is anyone else obsessed with the Aztec theme going on in fashion right now? I love it! I can't get enough soooo when I saw this wedges I knew I had to have them. I've already worn them at least 4 times. And don't worry mom that's the henna tattoo I got while at the fair.

 I came home on Friday to find this thing looking at me....  

Totally. Freaked. Me. Out! It was just chilling in my garage acting like it owned the place. I can handle spiders and bugs. Reptiles are a different story. I can't handle them and I'm deathly afraid of snakes. I can't even think about it too much or I start to stare at the ground making sure one isn't near me. This thing just kept looking at me and we had a stare off contest while I figured out what to do. I also called my mom and panicked. I'm pretty for sure it's a helo monster but I could be wrong. 

The next day was at least a little bonus because I got something good in the mail! 

I've been eying these teardrop necklaces for months but never bought one because they usually range anywhere from 34.99-49.99 dollars in price and frankly that's a little too pricey for a piece of costume jewelry. When I saw his on ebay for under 8.00 dollars I jumped at the chance. It came in the mail on Friday and it's perfect!

I also worked on the outside of my house. I added some more lava rock to the front of the house in the garden/plant area. It's a slow process since I'm not made of money...

Who knew rocks could be so expensive?!? And that in a nutshell was my weekend.
