Halloween Goodness

Since we got married, we've tried to throw some form of Halloween party every year. It almost didn't happen last year, but we made it. Next year could be interesting with a newborn, but we'll see about that. I'm not entirely sure how this year went, though.

See, I missed most of the party. I missed Laura. I missed Amanda. The party started at 6:00. I got home at 9:00 due to circumstances beyond my control. Because I got home so late, I only had time to dress up as a colossal geek for Halloween, wearing my anniversary gift. I saw exactly one kiddie dressed up for Halloween.

On the bright side, the part of the party I did experience was pretty cool. The Girl did a wonderful job setting it up. I got home to a bunch of happy people enjoying each others' company. I immediately had some home-brewed pumpkin ale, and pizza, and general junk food. Later on I got to have some anniversary cake, which is just so good it has to be part of the crack food group. Definitely. If you're ever planning to be at Penn State and you need a cake, call Kim Morrison to get a cake. She's awesome. She's a wonderfully nice lady, and her cakes are phenomenal. I'm telling you; crack food group.

My childhood "homeboy" JV came down for the party, too, which was awesome. I haven't seen him in forever. We got to hang out with Noelle after the party, and JV stayed over to Saturday. We got to play Wii, eat awesome seafood, and have the tastiest ice cream ever. It was pretty awesome. It was just like the old days, and it really felt like not a day had passed. Reminiscing about pre-school is just so much fun.

The Girl

Her birthday was yesterday. :-) It's just a shame she has to have this infernal headache right now. It's been going on for several days.

On the way home from work, I stopped at Godiva and bought her some chocolate to supplement her other present, which she knew about. We later went to Outback for dinner, which was quite tasty, and the ice cream store, which is phenomenal.

Afterward, we went home and watched Planet Earth in the evening, which is a pretty cool show. Great White Sharks are just awesome. That's the marine biologist in me coming out, though.
