"Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble." -William Shakespeare-

I can't believe that Halloween is already over and it's now November! Seems crazy...but I'm glad because that means it's getting closer to the end of the semester and that means I get to go home and then celebrate Christmas! yay! But I guess I'll focus on the here and now :)

So Halloween was pretty fun, the only drawback was that poor Mark is still sick...He stayed home from work today (we stayed out a little bit too late last night, probably wasn't wise) and slept for like 4 1/2 hours this afternoon. He said he felt better after that, well I would hope so! Geez...anyway, yesterday we both worked in the morning and then went up to Salt Lake City to Amy's apartment and me, Mark, Amy, and Calvin celebrated the holiday! We carved pumpkins, ate caramel apples, and watched the Poltergeist (it was on ABC Family of all channels...kinda creepy for a family channel...). It was a lot of fun though!

Me, Mark, and Amy just chose designs out of the pumpkin carving kit and did those. I did a spider and a spider-web, Mark did one with wolves, and Amy did a skull and cross bone. Calvin (who I'm told is a master pumpkin carver) drew out his own. He had a guy standing behind a stack of sandbags and there was a gun on top of the sandbags and the guy is throwing a grenade and on the other side of the pumpkin there is an explosion. So pretty cool idea but it didn't out the way he wanted cuz he didn't want to spend hours on it. They all turned out really good though, especially Mark's. He took the longest of us, such a perfectionist :)

We ordered some pizza while we carved and then during the movie we ate our caramel apples. Amy, Calvin, and Mark put crushed up Kit-Kat bars on top of theirs but I kept mine just caramel...yummy... Then we all settled back and watched "The Poltergeist." Pretty creepy movie if you ask me and way old school graphics. Pretty funny actually. We ended up getting home at about 1am so we were pretty beat. But it was a lot of fun and so nice to get out of Provo, even for just a couple of hours! The only places I go anymore are work, school, home, and church. It was great seeing Amy and Calvin though, we always have a lot of fun together. It was nice though cuz on Monday when Mark and I went up to SLC for his interview, we met Amy and Calvin and had dinner at Chili's so we got to see them twice in one week, which was awesome.

Fun times!Next holiday...... Thanksgiving! Yay!

Mark's was definitely the coolest. Wolves rock.
