You Truck Us....

Happy Halloween! This has been one of my favorite holidays from a very young age. Not only because of the candy and being able to dress up, but because it was a time when all of my cousins gathered at my grandma's house and we would go out together. Some of my favorite memories with them come from those nights when together we would face the Haunted House of Browns Valley. I'll never forget the time my cousins and I gained the courage to go up the stairs of a house that was giving out King Size Chocolate bars. We had just survived the Haunted House three houses before so we were somewhat jumpy, but we could not pass up the treats waiting for us at the top of the stairs so off the little brave souls we went..."BRRRRRROOOOOM ROOOOOOM BRRRROOOOM," came the sound of the chain saw behind us. I can't speak for my cousins, but I felt like everything around me was moving in slow motion. My heart felt like it was going to pound itself out of me and safety felt so far away. I have never been more terrified! I was so happy when I finally made it to the ground. I ran to my aunt who after asking if I was okay, couldn't help but laugh for the longest time. I was not amused, that masked man came out of no where and I do not enjoy being scared! So why do I like Halloween again?

There's just something exciting about getting together with people you care about and dressing up in costumes. Even when I got older, my family continued to be into Halloween. We used to have a costume party and of course there was a contest for the best one. What made it fun was that everyone got into character of their costume! There's a certain happiness in being silly and ridiculous," and I would say Halloween gives that to me every year. Even being away at college, I look forward to dressing up with friends and seeing what creative ideas we all come up with every time.

Plus it's the one time a year girls can eat all of the candy they want and other girls can't say anything about it. ;p "You go, glen coco!."

Have a safe and fun Halloween friends!!
