Not My Fave

I have never been a fan of Halloween. 

Why don't I like it? 

1.  Halloween is Jenna's birthday (the lil sis) and she has always LOVED it. She has always been more artistic and has always had better costumes than me. In our house it was always a day that she got the most attention. Maybe theres a tad bit of hidden jealousy here? Who knows. 

2. I don't like the thought of dressing up. And even more, I don't like the thought of spending tons of money on a costume that you'll only wear once. I find it embarrassing more than anything. Plus, most girls use Halloween as an excuse to dress super slutty for a night and has everyone come to expect this. Call me lame because I'm not a fan of publicly baring it all. 

 A borrowed costume from one of CT's students. 

A cute outfit with falsies, a trident, and devil horns. 

Can I get any more lame? 

3. I suck at carving pumpkins and that's why this year I tried bedazzling and painting them.

Mine was the #5 with stars.

 Again, how lame! 

It's just never been my thing, and I don't ever see it being my thing. Maybe one day when kids come in the picture, I'll let loose and get in the spirit. Until then, every year I'll be the grinch of Halloween!

Do It Anyway

Inspiration from the online devotional 'She Reads Truth' in regard to Ruth's story. 

Flashback Friday: I said Y-E-S!

6 years ago today I said yes to being CT's girlfriend. We had met in August of 2007 but I made him stay in the 'friend zone' for a few months. 

I previously wrote about my fairytale: how we met and I can't believe how far we have come. 

From strangers to best friends.

From neighbors to roommates. 

From friends to boyfriend & girlfriend.

From fiancés to husband & wife. 

Our journey is only 6 years completed and I can't wait to see what the next 60 years brings us. 

Where you go, I’ll go. Where you stay, I’ll stay. Your people, my people and your God – my God. 
Ruth 1:16
