Halloween Pics and My Birthday! Yay!

Alright, so I'm going to attempt to add pictures to this blog, so we'll see how it goes...

So Halloween was fun. Dave & I dressed up, but it wasn't as elaborate as our first Halloween together. Nonetheless, it was fun. I was the "Sock Monster". You know when you dry your clothes, but never seem to be able to find the matches to your socks? (Well, I don't have that problem because my socks can't be confused with another pair.) So yeah, I was the monster that stole your socks from the dryer. Dave was a robber. He wore panty hose on his head and made a TV out of cardboard, and it looked pretty good!





These pics were all taken at our Ward Trunk-or-treat. There was another member there dressed as Batman, so this is the pic we came up with:


After that, we carved pumpkins with Deanna, Eric, Courtney, Darren, Steph, Cameron, Cole, Caden, and Dan, Danielle, Alli, and Aubrey. It was so fun having everyone together!

Dave liked playing in the pumpkin seeds, haha. He was actually picking out the seeds to make a nice snack for later (it's something Eric does, it's pretty good!)

This was Dave's pumpkin:

And mine. I was very proud of how good it came out.

So that was Halloween. My birthday was fun. I had to go to school and work, so it didn't feel much like my birthday until my work sang to me. Then it felt more like it. Later, Dave took me out to eat at Geisha's Steakhouse. It's one of those Hibachi grills where they cook your food out in front of you at the table. It was very nice. Later, Dave paid Eric (who is a licensed massage therapist) to give me an hour long massage, which was VERY needed! So my birthday was very nice and relaxing. I have been recovering from being sick, so I had a hoarse voice that was recovering as well as a cough, a headache, and some sinus stuff. So that part wasn't fun, but, again, the massage made everything better, especially the headache! =)
I was going to run a 10k this morning, but because of being pretty sick, I decided to not do it and try to recover first, before I do anything like that. Deanna and Darren did it, though. Darren's time was apparantly like, 57 or 58 mins and Deanna's was 1 hour, 10 mins. That's pretty good! I figured I'd probably gotten the same time as Deanna! Maybe next time I can try it and see!
So that's about it. As far as posting pictures on this thing, it sucks. You have to post all the pictures first and then write around them. It's a little annoying I can't post while I'm writing. Oh well...what can ya do? If you have any comments on how to make it easier, please let me know! haha. The less stress, the better!
