not your typical halloween

our halloween this year consisted of beach, beautiful weather, a visit with Pehrson's brother and roommate, no candy, and Knott's scary farm! It was a lot of fun, but we weren't aloud to dress up =[ and if you know me you know that i love dressing up. Luckily, we went to a party the week before and we got to dress up...we were "s'mores" it was pretty sweet. I hope everyone had a great halloween weekend. Next year we are going to have awesome scary costumes. I've been food for too many halloweens. (otter pop, popcorn, jelly belly and smores) ha i need to think of something new.

Dear Blog,

Sorry I keep neglecting you. I asked the Lord for some work and work did I get! I am working an average of 13 hours a day and when I get home all I want to do is hang out with my husband. So once things cool down a bit, I will get back to you. But, in the meantime I will think of some awesome things to write about!

Sincerely,

Me
