My Favorite Holiday is in Nine Days

My absolute favorite holiday is coming up in less than two weeks and I am pretty excited for it. I just love Halloween. It is so fun to come up with a costume, get dressed up and go out to see what other costumes people come up with. Every year for the past 11 years I have always come up with a good costume and went out to meet all the other crazies out there and for the past five years I have been doing this with Andy by my side. As you have read before Andy is not a fan of theme parties so he is especially not a fan of Halloween. He just does not like to get dressed up. If he had his way we would stay in for Halloween or be lame and show up at a Halloween party not dressed up, but he doesn’t have his way on this one. When we first started dating I explained to him that I LOVE Halloween and this is what I do every year. I mean I even start thinking about my costume in July. How crazy is that? I also let Andy know that I am not a fan of Valentine’s Day so as long as he gets dressed up in a costume and celebrates my favorite holiday with me (with a smile on his face and no complaining about getting dressed up) then he is off the hook for the dreaded V-Day. Andy felt that was a good deal so every year he puts on a smile and gets dressed up for me and we don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. I finally purchased my costume last night and Andy is in the process of getting all his pieces purchased too. I am not going to ruin the surprise for all, so you will just have to wait until I post pictures after Halloween, well actually after November 1st. We have a Halloween party to go to on November 1st that we go to every year. It’s a good time with friends, costumes, creepy decorations and of course witches brew. I will display pictures following our party in less than two weeks.
