Happy Birthday, Halloween and a trip!

It's been another few weeks and I somehow built up more unpublished posts in my post graveyard. Nothing too exciting has been going on so there hasn't been anything really post worthy. I mean, I carved an owl into a pumpkin and a squirrel ate it's face off, and I got a teeny little mole/blood vessel that exploded and bled like a horror movie while I was shopping at old navy, but neither event was really deserving of it's own post. So, today I'm blogging about birthdays, halloween and my upcoming trip to visit my friend E!

Today, my little sister is celebrating her 22nd birthday with her new(ish) boyfriend, who happens to share her birthday, in Vegas! It's all very exciting since it's her first time there and her first time taking a trip with a boy. Cue the OOOooooOOoooOOooo. This one is actually very nice, quite cute, and they appear to be smitten with each other. A very big happy birthday to L and J, I really hope they have a fabulous time!

E and I haven't celebrated Halloween since the twins we used to babysit moved out of state. We're in that funny in-between space where you're too old to celebrate alone but don't have kids to trick or treat with yet.  This year, I'm actually going out to be out of town visiting my friend El over Halloween! El lives in Boise with her husband and son and I haven't had a chance to visit them since they moved out there. I'm really excited to spend some real time with them and see their house for the first time in person, since I'm sure pictures don't do it justice. El has been dealing with a nasty broken arm which makes it tough to lift her son, so I'm also looking forward to helping out and playing with her little boy.

I leave on the 30th and will be gone till the 6th, so while I'm having a fabulous time with El, I'm unfortunately going to miss my Titos Tacos election night ritual with E. We usually buy a couple boxes of tacos and camp out in front of the TV while the states report, but I'll be in there air when the first numbers start coming in. I've already voted so I don't need to be there to vote, so I'm hoping my plane gets in on time so I can maybe catch the results with E when he picks me up.  This is such an important election and there's so much at stake, I really hope the country pulls through and makes the right decision.

With that said, I wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween filled with fabulous costumes and tons of candy :)
