Halloween


Hello!! So the past month has been crazy crazy!! But it's Halloween in few days and I LOVE HALLOWEEN!! I love dressing up in costumes, I love trick-or-treating, I love carving pumpkins. Friday night was our church's "Trunk-or-treating" where the kids go around to the cars in the parkinng lot, and get candy. It's pretty fun. At church back home, everybody dressed up, kids, adults, teens, everybody. So I was way excited because me and Mark had our costumes picked out (I was a Rock Star again, and Mark was my securty guard.) He had his SECURITY shirt, some fake tattoo sleeves, and his aviator glasses. I put pink and orange color spray in my hair, wore my leggins with a mini skirt, my big black boots, a short sleeve shirt over a long sleeve shirt, and a tie. It was way fun. But we were pretty much the only adults to dress up in costumes, there were 3 others that did. Soooo... yeah....that once again made me realize just how young me and Mark really are. We went and bought pumpkins yesterday to carve them today. It was way fun, we carved them into jack-o-lanterns, Mark's pumpkin is laughing at mine, mine looks like it's dead but still smirking. So we carved them and then I baked the pumpkin seeds. Mark had never had homemade roasted pumkin seeds. I think he's hooked on them. :) We put our jack-o-lanterns out on the patio, and we're going to light them tonight.


So lately, I have been going to a series of doctor's appointments. First to figure out why I'm getting migraines for days, weeks, months on end. But the primary care physician has all these weird ideas, change my diet, change my sleeping pattern, go see an eye doctor, try all kinds of medications, but none of that worked, so I went to a chiropractor, and my headaches eased up instantly. But on the list of the PCP's THINGS TO DO was go see a cardiologist. In talking to the cardiologist, they did their own series of tests, EKG, bubble study, 24-hour ekg monitor, cardiac MRI, and on Wednesday the 29th I go in for a cardiac catheterization. I've had one before, I'm not that worried about it, it's not a surgery, it's a procedure just like an xray or getting blood drawn are a procedure. Things are going good, and we're both confident in the doctors and confident that the results from the catheterzation will help figure out my headaches.


We got a hair clippers yesterday, and today I cut Mark's hair for the first time. I have never cut hair before, so I was a little nervous. He said if I screwed up too bad, he would just wear a hat. I wasn't sure how it was supposed to look, I took a couple big chunks out... Either way, he's happy with how it looks, so I couldn't have done it that bad, right? He says I'm a full-fledged wife now, and I am so glad it's only taken me 4 months to be full-fledged.


Mark likes his job, he has his own work vehicle he drives home each night and drives to his appointments out in boulder. It's nice that he gets his own work vehicle. He gets a work phone, a work PDA, a work GPS device, so now he knows where he's going. Work for me has been work. They just keep piling it on, and the thing is, I still get it done. I went to Omaha, Nebraska this past Tuesday for 2 job-site visits. That was... interesting.


And yesterday, I went against all my holiday morals, and bought Chirstmas decorations. It's not even Halloween yet!! I bought a tree-topper, some ornaments, and some lights, so we now have stuff to decorate our fisrt tree. The only reason I bought the stuff now is because each item was $6.00 or less, and the closer it gets to Christmas the sooner that stuff will disappear. So I figured it was a "buy now or forever hold your peace" so yeah, I bought Chirstmas decorations. But stuff only for the tree, and stuff we're going to keep around for a long while.


Anyways, we want everybody to know that we love you and are thinking of you, and we hope you all have a very Spooky Halloween!! Love always, bry and mark!! <3
