Halloween Almost Here!!!

I am so excited for Halloween I can barely stand it. My favorite holiday (besides my birthday), is this week, and I feel prepared. I just have some last minute stuff to do. Lacey (my roommate) and I are going to run out and get stuff for our costumes this week. At that time I need to get candy and maybe a few more decorations in hopes of getting some trick-or-treaters.

Yesterday we all got together and carved pumpkins. Before carving, a few of us went to the pumpkin patch east of Lawrence and had a good time. Below are some pictures from the day.

This is the final product of the pumpkins Alex and I made. My pumpkin is the owl and his is the jack-o-lantern. I think they look so cute at night.

After we cleaned out our pumpkins we roasted the seeds and they were very very delicious!

This is at the pumpkin patch. We went to Shaake's pumpkin patch in East Lawrence. It is so cute :)

This is my friend Megan. We went through the corn maze and this his her sliding down at the very end.

This is all of us trying to act like little kids to get our picture taken. Luckily some nice person at the patch found this humorous and agreed to take our picture.

Needless to say, the day was very good and really got me in the mood for the week.

I think Ginsburg is ready for the week too. She was scared of pumpkins last year, but after the carving festivities this year she is used to them. Her costume is also so cute, I am sure she is just so excited to wear it.

Alex and I came up with our Halloween costume. I am going to be soy sauce, and he is going to be General Tso's Chicken. I think it will be a hit, I just need to work on it this week.

Everything else is pretty calm. I will try to update more often during the week, hopefully with lots more to talk about.

That is it for now.

Peace, love and curls.

Favorite Time of Year

Wow! October is flying by!! I cannot believe the month is 2/3 over. It kind of came to me today that I didn't have a Halloween costume, so I came up with one today. I wanted to do something that would bring back good childhood memories for both myself and anyone who sees me on halloween. So, after much searching I decided on Patty Mayonnaise, from Doug. I love her outfit, so cute (plus, any chance to wear a wig). I think my friends are all gonna try to go as doug characters. Except for Amber that is...

Beej (Amber) is OBSESSED with diet coke. Literally when she tried to cut it out of her diet, she could only make it to cutting back to four a day :) So she is going to be Diet Coke for Halloween, at least I am trying to make her be diet coke. Inspiration below:

Yeah. That is beej wearing her d-coke medallion, using ginsy's leash as the chain!! So yeah, and I think instead of Ginsy being a shark, she has to be porkchop to complete the Doug cast!

In other news, Alex and I set a date. July 17th, 2010. I am so excited. All of the planning is really overwhelming right now, but I am already enjoying it. My friends are putting up with me talking about it all the time, and so is Al, haha. As more details come about I will keep you posted. That is all for Monday. Ready for a busy week.

Until next time,

Peace, love and curls.

Much Needed Update

WOW!! It has been forever since I updated, I do apologize! From this day forward it I am going to try to update a couple of times each week :)

Anyway, a lot has happened since I last updated. Alex proposed to me, so now we are engaged!! Very excited to say the least. So far I have been trying to start the planning. We set a date for July 17, 2010 in Lawrence. We are actually going to have a small ceremony in Danforth chapel and a bigger reception. I am going to have so much fun planning this :)

KU football is decent still, 5-0 but not playing too well. Keep your fingers crossed! Also, Alex got a brand new car, a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. John C. (his father) got it for him as a present for his graduation from law school this December. It is so nice, black with all leather black interior and a sunroof. I die.

I was sick today, so that has not been fun; hoping to feel better tomorrow. The nice thing about the day was that I did get the chance to stay at home with Ginsburg and relax all day. Ginsburg got her halloween costume, she looks so cute in it. She is a shark! I need ideas on my halloween costume, any suggestions?

Al driving his new car on the way back from Hays when we went to visit his sisters, Carly and Maddie.

Ginsburg in her shark costume, so cute!!

That's all for now friends.

Peace, love and curls.
