Halloween Bash

Huge Halloween bash this past weekend! I am terribly sorry that I haven't gotten a chance to write sooner to tell you guys all about how much fun it was. The party of 200-400 people took place in a gorgeous Germantown home that belongs to the parents of some of Big's friends. For those of you guys who don't know, Big once dated a friend of mine in the past and so she and Kyla had been previously to this huge party before. I went two years ago when Kyla was dating one of the sons of the owners. This year I went with Big who dressed up in solid black and went as a swat guy complete with guns and a hat. I decided after some searching to go as a punk rock witch. Which was a sexy version of a purple and black witch costume that sort of was tattered and torn looking. Very Gothic! Just like my Dad stated. After getting my hair done complete with bright lavender highlights and make-up done it was a few pictures and then off for the evening. We had an amazing time dancing and laughing at all of the costumes. Hollie and her husband dressed as matching pirates. Jennifer was Little Red Riding Hood. Hollie's friend went as a very sexy pirate and her husband as an army man. I was and am always in complete awe of how intricate some of the costumes were.

I bought calf-high boots for the dress and had unfortunately never worn them. I danced until I thought my feet would fall off! I could barely walk at the end of the night as we stayed and helped with a bit of the clean up. Our hosts were so gracious and we had a blast. Hollie did think to bring a camera that she dropped a couple of times. Oops!

Some of the pictures are quite comical and all over the Internet! Oh well. Hope to get another invite next year because it was really cool.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween.

Change in the Weather

Really not liking this weather change.
I am so sorry that I haven't written as often as I normally do, but I have been feeling a little under the weather here lately. I can't seem to chase away this congestion in my chest enough to stop coughing. I have had to drag out older clothes with those dreaded long sleeves. Ugh, I really like spring and fall but winter just isn't my season. I hate winter. Everything is dead outside and when the wind blows it sends a chill straight down to your bones. On the other hand, Big, loves winter weather and everything about it. He always says that the clothes are one of his favorite things about it. I just hate feeling all bundled up and toting around all of the crap that you have to. Gloves, scarves, hats, chapstick, and coats just get heavier and heavier as the season goes on. Oh, and who exactly decided that winter would be the longest of all the seasons? I would like to see someone about this. I miss pool days already.
I have been so busy here lately and so many things have been going on. My baby nephew turned 1!!!!! We had a get together at the McDonald's for his little party and he had the blast of his lifetime. All the children running around and all the new gifts were almost too much for his little senses. And as if that wasn't enough, we let him have his own little birthday cake to eat and play in. It was so hilarious watching him devour that cake and get it all over himself. Too awesome. I can't believe that it has been a year since the little miracle came into our lives.
Maggie, my bestie, came for a very short visit for her fall break. Big and I had dinner with her and it reminded me of just how much I love being with her and just how different we two are. She and I caught up on our current lives, which wasn't too much considering we email daily, but it was so nice to talk in person. She had never met Big and wanted so much to see what all the hype was and has been about for the past two years. He didn't disappoint. We all got along famously and even went back to the house after dinner. For the past couple of days since dinner with her, we have been trying to convince her to come back up for this coming weekend for the Halloween party. Hopefully she will attend. Well that's all I've got for today.
Until next time, happy hump day and stay warm

Baby Steps

Well the weekend was wonderful and I made it through without killing anyone or someone killing me. In case you didn't know, the O'Reilly Mid-South Nationals were this weekend and my Uncle Clay was racing.
Big came out and met the family! I know, can you guys believe it? I think we took this relationship to another level during the weekend. He acknowledged that he loves me! He didn't say "I love you", but he did let me know that he did. Hey, one baby step at a time right? Can't rush into these things.
I have been mentally preparing for the big Halloween party that I have been invited to and yesterday I did find a costume. Not the one I went to get, but a very cute Punk Rock Witch! I can't wait to see what type of make-up fun we can have with that one.

P.S. Does anybody know where I can get some cheap hooker boots?
