Recently where I work, in Hernando, they opened up the first Kroger Marketplace in our county! The buzz of one coming had been spreading since the beginning of this year. When it finally opened in late September, that was the talk of the town! Everybody would talk about going and how great it is! It has a bistro with comfort food all the way to sushi! There is also a Starbucks in there! YES, Starbucks! I have been many times already! It is awesome to have because it brings more foot traffic to local stores around town. It also has a great selection of healthy foods from the organic section to the veggies and fruits galore that they carry! It is definitely a huge step in a small town!

If you read my post about some of my favorites things, you know that my favorite book is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks! It is my favorite because there is always a turning point in the story line. It also is based on a true story. Another reason why I love this book is because it shows what true love is. One thing that I didn't like was the ending. Of course if you've read the book or seen the movie you know why! Another thing I don't like is that the movie left out a lot of details. Lastly, the book was long, but if you are used to reading you'd love it!

One thing about me is that I love food! Growing up, I loved to cook. I still do from time to time! These are some of my favorite places! -

This is The Great Southern Cafe located in Seaside, Florida. Their breakfast is amazing! What is pictured is the Cafe Breakfast (top left), Gouda grits with Eggs Benedict & corn beef hash (top right), and Grits A YA YA (bottom). What isn't pictured are their mouth-water beignets topped with powdered sugar and side of fresh fruit! They were gone in 10 seconds as soon as they got to the table!

Second, this is my bestfriend Julia (right) and I at no other than Chick-Fil-A! Who doesn't love their nuggets or their delicious chicken wrap with balsamic vinaigrette? One awesome thing about CFA is that they have Cow Appreciation Day! Dress up like a cow and get a free entree of your choice!

Lastly, if you are ever in Washington D.C. you have to make a trip to Georgetown to eat these phenomenal cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcakes (also known as D.C. Cupcakes). When I was younger I always watched their show on the Food Network thinking I HAD to go there one day! Earlier this year was when I made that thought a reality! In the first row is their Chocolate Mocha cupcake! It is my favorite from there! There's also a surprise filling inside! The others, I forgot their names, but they are also delicious!

I'm not a big book worm, but one of my favorites is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. It is one of my favorites because the story is so heart felt and is based on a true story.

One of my favorite movies is "Walk The Line". This movie is also based on the true love story of Johnny and June Cash.
