Halloween

I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with this holiday.

I HATE every minute of it prior to the when all the festivities occur. I hate the candy laying around for 2 weeks with me grabbing a piece each time I walk by. I hate the stress of trying to figure out what to dress up as. I hate spending money on something I will wear for 3 hours...total! I hate the back and forth discussion at work of--'are we dressing up this year for work, or not.' I hate being scared...period. I don't do corn mazes, haunted houses, or anything involving a man chasing me around with a chainsaw. Not my idea of fun.

I LOVE when it is finally time for the parties! I love dressing up and getting ready, once the costume has been decided on. I love seeing what other people dress up as. I love caramel apples. I love the parties. I love that the weather is usually so nice outside. I love that this kicks off the end of the year holidays.

This year it seemed like everything happened on the same night...sad! So we had to go to what we first confirmed to---my boss's annual Halloween gig. Every year seems to be bigger than the year before. His band was really good with a stage and all. They did several covers that sounded great--that was of course because Nick ran the sound board for them. We danced the night away to the DJ, and I left sweaty knowing I burned off all the calories I ate in delicious caramel corn and goodies. Just a few photos of us in our 80's gear.

I love how we both had crimped hair

I love how for six months after the party, patients will say to me at work, "wow-your husband is sure the life of the party." In future years we shouldn't dress as a couple--it is too much of a dead give away that he belongs to me!! I better start thinking of our costumes for next year.
