Halloween 2008

For Halloween this year, Jon an I went to our friends Mo and Ali’s place. Mo and Jon were roommates in college and Mo was also in our wedding. Mo and Ali are also coming to California for our second reception next week! We are so excited.

Halloween has a special place in our hearts…Jon and I met on Halloween three years ago. I was a cowgirl and he was a Vikings football player…the pastor at our wedding might have mentioned this during our ceremony. And when I say “might” I mean he did mention this. Embarrassing. Anyway, this year Jon was Magnum P.I. and I was a cheerleader. I wore my cheerleading outfit from my sophomore year of high school. That was 10 years ago…how crazy is that??? I couldn’t wear the top without showing more skin than I was comfortable with…but I could wear the skirt and jacket! Go me!

Here we are!
We got Jon’s clothes from the Good Will…his shorts totally made the outfit. He was totally channeling Tom Selleck here.
Jon with Mo. Mo was Tony Romo, complete with broken pinky finger, and Ali was Carrie Underwood…they were adorable.
Me trying to get that mustache to stay on!
Love it. I can’t believe that we met three years ago and now we are married! Thanks for a great time Mo and Ali!

    Looks like you had a lot of fun. I hope you always get to celebrate Halloween as your special “holiday”. What a fantastic couple (even in costume).

To manage stress, I try to take frequent breaks, remember to smile and laugh every day, carve out some alone time every morning, exercise daily, and turn to friends and other resources available to me if I need extra support.

Anyone relate?

Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle with my children. Gentle with my family. Gentle with myself. Gentle with those who believe differently than I do. Couldn’t we all use a little more gentleness? After 8 years of raising babies and a crazy 2020 it’s what my mind, body, and soul needs. And my kids and family need it from me too. Have you chosen a word for 2021? If so, let me know what it is! (and thank you @bluegrassred for the word inspo! I heard her talk about it a few times on @pantsuitpolitics and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Exactly what I need for this year!)
