Halloween Madness

BOO! Yes, I am still alive and kicking, even after our hectic life, with school and the occasion bouts of sickness and snow. Yet still, we MUST get the most we can out of this Halloween season, even if it is, just an exciting prep for the wonder that is Christmas. But still...

Apart from the obvious holiday baking [haha of course..] we got together with a group of our friends a few nights back for fhe and did some pumpkin carving. It was a lot of fun! Many of you may not know this, but because Lester didn’t move to America until about age 10, and apparently they don’t celebrate Halloween in Australia [his native country]. So he was excited when talking to our friends Saritha and Ignacio who are from India to find out that this was their first time carving pumpkins, meaning that he wasn’t the most inexperienced haha! Ironically though, in carving them, their pumpkin turned out way better then ours of course. But still it was a lot of fun, and it definetly went a long way in giving us a much needed break, a feeling of comradery and friendship with out neighbors and also a much needed holiday charge!

Another thing you may or may not know is that a few years back, I took a stage makeup class here at BYU-Idaho. It was so much fun, and I learned a lot. Now, today apparently many ppl are celebrating their Halloweens [since said holiday falls on Sunday] and while Lester and I don’t have any fun and exciting plans other then just cuddling, I am going to use the things I learned to do my friend Giddy’s makeup! I am really excited about it since surprisingly, I don’t really get the opportunity to use these skills that often haha. Im posting some of the pictures of my work in class, but other techniques we learned was ‘glamour’ stage makeup, inanimate objects, false hair application, animal makeup and so on and so forth. So this is something I’m looking forward to!

We have also been decking out selves and our apartment out in orange, in respect to our WORLD SERIES Giants players! Woot woot! Lester loves it because out of all the sports he tries to get away with, this is the one that I will actually watch gladly with him, and also not interrupt him every few minutes to wonder whats going on...we are running out a black and orange clothing to wear..thank goodness for cheap laundry, right? haha!

Overall, it has been a good halloween season, and we are excited for the rest of the holidays!
