Happy Halloween

I love love Carving Pumpkins...here is what I came up with this year!

I really don't know how people make such elaborate designs in pumpkins. Its so hard to carve them, I guess I don't have the right pumpkin carving tools!

Don't worry about the birthday number candles, we couldn't find any tea lights and they were the cheapest thing. However, they only lasted 2 minutes..I guess thats long enough for somebody to light them and blow them out on a birthday cake!

I don't like dressing up so this year I didn't get any costumes. However, I got invited to a dance, so I had to race to Joanns and buy a cat mask. I of course didn't try it on before I bought it and it pulls at my eyes and is very uncomfortable. But good thing not a lot of people dressed up for the dance so I didn't have to wear it.

For the night before Halloween we went to my roommates dad mortuary. I went on a tour before and I wasn't scary. However, there wasn't a body there, but this time (of course the time we rent a scary movie) there was. It was really scary!! But the movie was lame, but it was still scary.

Today for Halloween we had a special stake conference, were it was all about...yup you guessed it marriage...however, it was a really good meeting about. A quote I loved from it was "come what may and love it!"

After church I made Roast dinner and I just barely made PUMPKIN PIE!! I haven't tasted it yet, it is supposed to cool for 2 hours, and it has only been 1. So I think that I will have to give in and eat some!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

October

I can't believe its almost November! I'm so excited for Thanksgiving...I've been craving pumpkin pie ever since they put out the fall stuff at my work. I'm on the countdown with how many days Jeffrey comes home (18) and how many weeks of school I have left (6). I am the worst at wanting school to be done, especially this semester, it has been the most work I have ever had to do. I 'm so bad that I have countdowns on all of my class calenders.
This month has all been about scary movies and haunted houses. My roommates are obsessed, so I of course are dragged along with them. We have currently been to a haunted house in Spanish Fork, a haunted house in AF (however, the house looks really cool and really old, with archways for the driveway and its all surrounded by trees. I really want to go look at the house in the day light when I can reallly see it), a graveyard in Alpine, and tibble fork canyon (where if you drive around 3 times a hurst is supposed to follow you). Its all pretty ridiculous, but I'm just along for the drive.
Nothing exciting has happened this month besides having my "surgury." I had to get a colonoscopy which was not fun at all...i had to take the "special juice" but it wasn't that bad. Don't worry I don't have anything wrong with me, and I lost a lot of weight (I probably have all gained it back, but it was exciting to be down to what I was when I was in middle school).
I'm just waiting for this semester to be over so I can start next semester and have a summer off. I'm planning a lot of fun and exciting things for summer. I wanted to go on a humanitarian trip and I had a friend that is planning one. However, it is going to cost 1400...so thats out of the picture! Anyways I have to go to class!!
