All Hallows Eve

Well, as it has always been said, Halloween is an "annual holiday observed on October 31, primarily in the US, Canada, Ireland and the UK. It has the roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saint's Day...." OK, let's be honest, we're all bored at this point. All I know, is that Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday! It has been for years, and it is sneaking up on us so soon. It is ironic, because I get scared SO easily, and freak my self out from the littlest things. However, I thrive off of the adrenaline rush at a haunted house, or going to a scary movie, or filling my home with creepy and sensor-attack decorations. This year, I wanted to make the MOST out of this Halloween, so I decided to do all that I could to fulfill that desire.

I went to the scariest haunted houses in Utah, and let me tell you, I definitely didn't sleep alone that night- thank heavens Nana lives right down the street, right? It's great having a boyfriend during this holiday, of course, to comfort my every scare! We got a bunch of people together and went and saw THEE scariest movie ever made, the best part was the big, dark skinned, "tough" if you will, boys behind us, screaming like little girls!

If I may add, this year was the first year I officially carved a pumpkin! Yes, you should be very proud of me. Of course, mine, out of the 4 of us who carved, was the COOLEST (or, as most would call it, the special needs pumpkin.) But hey, I'll get to the point where I can carve a cool ninja turtle one day!

I've gotten so into the Halloween spirit, that I have filled the house with decorations, candy and hand carved pumpkins! How much better does it get? I guess we will see when All Hallows Eve comes this Saturday, and my Barbie and Ken costume rocks the day.

Happy Halloween! and don't forget, la vita e bella.
