Book Club Friday




 
 
 
Linking up here for another book club friday
This week's book that I finished last night is:
 
 
 
 Overall I really liked this book but not as much as some of Nicholas Sparks other books. I was really sad at the end and was hoping for a better ending, one that would make me happy. But they all can't be happy endings right? Nicholas Sparks is a great author though who can really capture your emotions. That is why he is one of my favorite authors. Has anyone else read this book? What did you think?
Have a great weekend everyone!

How my St. Pattys Day was Spent

I had a great St. Patty's weekend.
And no I am not Irish but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate it in my opinion
 

It started out with drinking some really good beer Saturday night.
Some GREEN beer!
 
My Cousin Jennifer (l) and my sister Jackie (r)
 
 
This is a picture of my other sister Rachel. She would kill me if I knew I put this picture of her but she doesn't know ;) BTW, she had do idea this picture was being taken and no she isn't drunk. lol
 
 
My BCF and I (co host of our favorite things giveaway)
check it out here
 
 
The whole group. My favorite ladies.
 
 
Best family/friends a girl could ask for
 
My sisters Rachel (L) and Jackie (R)
 
Girls being silly.
We finished the night off with some greasy Toppers Mac and Cheese Pizza
Fun weekend with the girls!

Amusement Parks


Ever since I was little I loved amusement parks.
My parents took us to them all the time.
The bigger and higher the roller coaster the better!
 
Here are some of my favorites:
 
 
Valley Fair
Shakopee MN
 
 

 
Favorite Roller Coaster would have to be the Wild Thing.
I love it!
 
Universal Studios Orlando
Hogwarts
 
 
 
This roller coaster at Hogwarts was so fun. It was one of the few that I could get my husband to go on!

And this one also at Universal Studios
I had to ride this one by myself
My husband has a fear of heights and if you can tell this one is pretty steep and scary but it was so fun! You even got to the pick the music you wanted to hear while you were riding the roller coaster!


Gurnee Mills IL

Six Flags Great America
Raging Bull




So these are some of my favorites.
What are yours?
