halloween

halloween has come and gone...i can hardly believe it. i woke up this morning to a beautiful brewing fall sky. i love mornings like this. i do however have a couple regrets about this halloween...paul and i didn't carve pumpkins and we didn't watch charlie brown and the great pumpkin like we have the last 6 years. what the heck? it felt like halloween came so fast this year. when your a kid, there is a feeling of anticipation in the air. when you grow up...you get busy with work, you loose that feeling. my goal this next year, is to enjoy every single minute and get that feeling back. one thing i must say i did that was fun (for the first 15 minutes) was floating down the provo river in my costume. i went as a prom date in the 80's. i had my hair ponytail slicked to the side, a disgusting dress with a huge bow...the only thing i wanted to have but didn't, was lace gloves. like i said, it was fun for the first 15 minutes, then it started to rain and the wind started acting up. i went with kels, mom, and josh and lindsay from work. we were ice cubes. (pictures will come later) i had a lot of hot chocolate when i got home. the rest of the day was nice. went to costco to get candy, and went to mom and dad's for the traditional chili and breadsticks. (i of course didn't have chili, i made potato cheese soup) paul got home really late, and we headed home. next year will be different...i want that holiday feeling back...

I HAVE to see pictures of your costume. It sounds muy hilarioso. And PS, why were you floating down a river? How odd. And just because Halloween is over doesn't mean you can't still carve pumpkins! Heck, I'm still planning on it!

The river did me in... I was cold the rest of the night! BUT... it was so worth it. Love Mom
