Best Halloween Ever!!


This weekend was the absolute best Halloween I have ever had, all thanks to my sweet heart Justin. Friday my old phone decided to die, so luckily I was able to get the new blackberry Bold from T-mobile at a reasonable price. I absolutely LOVE it! I can do anything –get on facebook, twitter, my email, listen to the radio, Google chat and MORE. So after I got that I headed to Davidson
Once I got to Davidson, Justin and I just watched TV until we fell asleep. On Saturday I got up, cleaned up Justin’s room, and headed to his football game. The weather was great (not too hot or cold) and although they didn’t win, it was still a good game. Justin’s mom and sister came up there with my little nieces SaVannah and Olivia. They were sooo cute and I was glad I got to see his family. Johnathan and his girlfriend LaKresha was there too and we had a good time laughing and talking. UNFORTUNATELY Ms. Sandra and Lasonya needed to leave right after the game so my babies could go trick or treating, so Justin and I headed back to the house to get ready for Halloween.
At first, I really didn’t want to dress up. I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since I was like 12, and most girls only use Halloween as an opportunity to dress as “risqué” as possible, but Justin was dressing up and assured me that it wouldn’t be fun unless I did to. So at first we went to the Halloween store where all of the costumes were $50. Justin was actually going to purchase a $54.00 costume but I insisted we try Wal-Mart first; of course nobody can beat Wal-Mart’s prices. We ended up getting both of our costumes for under $35.00. Justin decided to be Spiderman and I dressed up as a black cat.
So finally was time to get ready for the Halloween party. When I was about to go upstairs and get ready Harvey and his brother Julian walked in—Harvey was the grim reaper and his brother was a hula dancer. It was hilarious, and I was so glad at that point that I went ahead and bought a costume. Finally I went upstairs to do my make-up. I did pretty doing my makeup until it came to the whiskers. I couldn’t remember how they were supposed to look, so Justin came upstairs and redid them for me. It turned out perfect. Justin’s costume was 10-12 year old “husky” size and was completely hilarious!!! He wanted it to be funny and memorable for our senior year, and it definitely was!!
Once we got to the party we saw some pretty crazy costumes: a guys dressed up like a box of wheaties, pirates, hookers, A Jack-in-the Box, Harry Potter, Antoine Dodson, power rangers, and the list goes on. It was pretty hilarious to see what some people were willing to wear. I guess Halloween is all about releasing ones inhibitions and just having a good time. I feel like that is what we did and it was definitely a good “last” campus Halloween for both of us.
Anyway, Sunday was really Halloween so Justin and I decided to celebrate by staying in, cooking dinner, and watching scary movies. Well I failed to realize that the scary movie I chose was made in 1980 (30 years ago!!—they didn’t have cell phones, caller I.D or anything in the movie!) and it was really pretty much a bust. LOL. It was called “The House of the Devil,” and it was poor quality and not at all what I was expecting. But we had fun laughing at it anyway.
In the end, Halloween 2010 was the best Halloween ever and I am glad I got to experience it. It is always good to spend time with friends and family, and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything! Adios!

  2. I'm glad you had a great Halloween Bran, though we missed you at the bonfire. We all just sat around telling childhood stories and eating food we probably shouldn't. On Sunday night we took Breeze trick or treating in Aberdeen. He cried the whole time we were trying to put his costume on (pre-terrible two syndrome) and I was worn out by the time we pulled out but once we got out there and got started we had a great time. Miss you and Love you lil sis.
