halloween.

while you're in college you never make plans. you never know what you are going to do over the weekend, or when you are going to get things done. you just kind of go with the flow, and do things when you have time, and go places when you feel like it, and that is part of the fun of college! well, this was not how it happened for halloween. since about the third week of school steph, jared and i have been discussing our halloween plans. we knew what we were going to do. and it was going to be amazing. we decided that the thing to do for halloween was make carmel apples! now, i have never made carmel apples before, and so i thought that this sounded like a lot of fun! we have been planning since then, we have had the carmel for about a month and have been counting down the days until our fun carmel apples experience! so today was the day. jared came over and we (he, steph and i) went to the store to pick up some nice apples and then we went back to the apartment and started!! we werent really sure what we were doing but we had fun seeing who could unwrap the carmels the fastest, and who could shoot them into the pan from the farthest away, and who could hit someone else the most times, you get the picture. it was really fun. then we simmered up the carmel and began the dipping. im pretty sure we didnt put enough water in with the carmel because it was really thick and made very thick carmel on the apples, but that was ok with us! jill decided that she wanted to put some nerds on one, and then jared made one with skittles for kate since she was gone home for the weekend.

after that we just watched a movie and had fun and our friend lauren came over and jills boyfriend craig and his roommate eric, and we just had a blast being silly. it was definitely one of the best halloweens ever! (especially since i didnt have to wear a costume!!!).

scripture of the day:

Jacob 6:5 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, i beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent and come with full purpose of heart, and cleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his arm of mercy is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your hearts.

today i am thankful for:

* carmel and apples, and the deliciousness of putting the two together to make carmel apples!

* friends and roommates who you can just chill with and still have the best night ever!

* "scary" movies to watch on halloween.

* lauren, and the fact that she is as crazy as i am and played dress up with me, and wore her red lipstick and made me wear it too!

* jared, and his ability to always make me laugh, even if i turn away when i do!

* stephanie, and the fact that she doesnt like scary movies any more than i do so that i never have to see anything too scary, unless ambushed!

* jill, and the fact that she is always happy, and makes everyone else around her happy too! (and jill kisses!!)

* nessa, and her silly sense of humor and her wonderful sense of eyeshadow style!

* craig and eric, who come over and act like children(playful), and it is hilarious!

* great nights with great people!
