Fall and Halloween
It's slowly getting colder here in Iowa and I love it! Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. It involves football, volleyball, tailgating, bonfires, comfy sweatshirts, changing of the leaves, cool decorations, hay rack rides, picking out and carving pumpkins, spooky things, and last but not least....HALLOWEEN!! I fah-reaking love Halloween. My brother's birthday is in October and I am kind of jealous of him for it but having a birthday in April is pretty B.A. too. In a couple of days it will be October 1st which means I start putting my Halloween decorations up. Whoop whoop! I have orange lights, pumpkins, glowing eyes to put in the windows, window stickers, a skeleton, a ghost named Ghosty (Jared gave him that name because that is what they named the ghost at his house growing up) whom I put up in the second floor window that you can see from outside, and I even have those little toys that McDonald's used to give out in their happy meals during Halloween. Remember those? Yep, I still have 'em. They are cute decorations, why would I throw them away?!
One tradition that I do every October is watch the movie Hocus Pocus. "Boooooooooook." Who doesn't love Sarah, Mary, and Winnie Sanderson? I certainly do! In fact I think I may dress up like a witch this year if I end up having a party or going to a party. I think being a witch would be fun! Which reminds me....I always have dreams of riding a broom stick around this time of the year. I hate waking up after one of those dreams! Witches, ghosts, goblins, cemeteries, you name it, have always intrigued me and I don't know why. The paranormal has been an interest of mine for a long time. When I was a senior in high school I would tell people I wanted to be a Paranormal Psychologist. I just want to know how the after life works and why some spirits roam around while others don't. Or do they? I know there are a lot of skeptics out there and that's fine they can be skeptics, but look at all the evidence that has been caught or the number of people who have had experiences. Just sayin'. My point is....anything that has to do with magic, Halloween, and the paranormal is freaking awesome.
Baby Jetter!
My best friend is having a flipping baby y'all! I still can't believe there is a baby in there. She has wanted a baby ever since she was in high school. She wouldn't have actually had a kid in high school, though. She just really likes babies and being a mom was a dream of hers. She told me about it a couple weeks ago and let's just say it took some convincing me that she was actually pregnant. I freaked out. There was a lot of, "Are you serious?! Is this real life?!" Only me and a couple of other people knew and she wanted to find a way to tell the rest of our friends. Her birthday was this past weekend and her husband decided to throw her a fake surprise party. Meaning that she knew about the party and would use her birthday as an excuse to get all of our friends together to tell them she was having a baby! Cool idea huh? My friend Kenzie and I planned the party and it was SO hard to keep my mouth shut for two weeks while we planned this. Kenzie made them shirts to wear when they walked in to the "surprise". We got everyone to their house and when Hallie and Eric walked in there was a lot of surprising going on. I loved it! I couldn't be happier for my bestie and Eric. They will be great parents and I can't wait to babysit and continuously ask Hallie questions about what it's like being pregnant. Gross questions and all :)
