Our First Holiday!

When we were trying to decide where to move Michelle and I looked at apartments, thought about houses and honestly couldn't figure out what we wanted to do.  It wasn't until a friend of my dad had a house for rent that we seriously considered living in an actual house.

So when you look at a house or look to rent a property there are some "normal" questions you should ask...
1. How much is the rent?
2. When is the rent due?
3. What is the neighborhood like?
4. What comes with the house?

So of course my dad is asking all of these questions and we are really liking the house.  I am chiming in with some questions that I have but Michelle says nothing...seems strange but I figured she was overwhelmed or distracted as it was a big undertaking for two 20-something girls to live in a house rather than a cozy little apartment.  When Michelle finally did ask a question what do you think she really, really wanted to know....
"Are there are a lot of kids who come trick or treating!"

This is exactly why we are friends!  Also because after I burst out laughing she still likes me!

So Halloween is quickly approaching and we figured we should probably get on this decorating thing since this is our first official holiday and we have an actual house to decorate!  So like the awesome people we are we needed a theme (Friendly Ghosts!) and proceeded to pick out decorations that went along with our theme.  

Next we needed to carve our pumpkins!  In our minds it was going to take a half an hour tops...in reality it took forever!  Oh my goodness!  Carving pumpkins is hard and gross (but I so knew about the gross part).  So after an hour or two...lost track of time and we were watching football...I present to you...

Michelle's pumpkin was titled "Frankenstein" (I think) and she named him Benedict.

My pumpkin was titled "One Brew Too Many" and I named the pumpkin Stella and yes she is missing one of her hands there was an unfortunate carving accident it was her hand or my finger...I chose to save my finger!

More pictures of our decorations to come...especially after I am done making...yes I said making...my costume!  Plus you all know that GiGi the Giraffe will be dressed up for Halloween as well!

With Love Always,
