Mom and I dug out this cute M&M costume she made for Jeremy forever ago. When he was 2! This is what Luke was supposed to be for Halloween but never really dressed up.
Danielle came home for a visit and we hung out a bit after I was done working. We looked at the walmart costume and she put a couple of masks on. She also decided to buy a fish! Topher is his name. (I think he's still alive) Then we just hung out at her house messing around. ha. we found random things to wear and were talking to people on Skype! Oh and Got Topher all settled in his new home! :)
The next night we were going to try for fall pictures but really failed. Got there too late and my batteries died. oh well.
Then on the 23rd. It was ZOMBIE PROM. haha. It was just a Halloween themed Dance in Iowa City. I didn't go as a Zombie though I went as Kirby! We learned the thriller and just danced the night away! It was awesome! Damion and Preston (below) dressed up as Fat/huge Siamese twins. Wow. That was GREAT!
One Huge pair of pants a couple of shirt and jacket, plus lots of stuff. There that's all it took. well, and some ingenious thinking. They were like that ALL night we were there. I helped a lot. Everything kept falling out and what not. But on the bright side they got Zombie King!
So something fun I noticed is that people who grew together at youth dances and such have a thing for staying together as we all get older. Here at Zombie Prom I hung out with Damion, Preston, Tiffany Zach, Brett, Heaven and Carol. All of them being from the Nauvoo Stake. Love it!

Later on, (the next weekend, 29th) I went over to Kansas City for the YSA dance there. No one really came with me though. I picked up my friend Madison who goes to school in Maryville, and she met me in St. Joe. Which was crazy. Surprisingly I found my way around it, and she got a little lost. Met up with her grabbed dinner, from Taco Bell, and headed off for KC.
WOW! Can I just say I HATE HATE HATE KC traffic. Ugh! I am so not meant for the big city haah. I did well though, for a small town girl. We made it safely, after jumping the gun and taking a turn into Edwardsville, KS. haha. We were looking for Woodland. and Turned on Woodend. There is a difference a big difference! lol But we got there! and alive! Yipppeee! Got all dressed up, I was a painter/work in progress person and she really didn't know what she was. lol I told her she should be a Mormon for the night hahah
Now, this dance was awesome! Everyone was dressed up and ready to have a good time! I hopped in the dance group I met at the YSA conference, and Madison joined me. And soon enough, a swing song came on, and Josh grabbed me and led the way.
So Josh and I literally have an awesome Candlestick. When it gets all the way vertical. Which sadly didn't really happen this time, I think my clothes were a bit slippery.
Josh and I tried something new, for us too! We did the Pop up (to shoulders) then He pops me to his arms and I do a somersault/flip out and land on my feet. We did it pretty well when I flipped out I landed on my feet hard. and Got some bruises from them. Not a huge deal. just kinda fun to tell how I got this battle scar. haha Someone saw all the aerial type of stuff I was doing with Josh, and told me I was really brave/gutsy for doing it. Which never had occurred to me, and made me really happy. Especially with how afraid of heights I am.
Hyrum here makes me looks like a midget. I don't even know how tall he is, but he decided at the end of the dance to draw a goatee on my. haha. it was nice. I decided to wash it off though. :) But I totally wrote on him a couple times so It's pretty legit.
Bruise on my left foot, right in the middle of my sole. lol
Bruises on my Right foot.
But all in all the KC dance was definitely my favorite of the two. I got to swing dance, and I just guess I had more fun at this one for some odd reason! :) Plus Madison even enjoyed it! which made it even better than if she had hated it.
We left around midnight and I got Madison back to her car around 1am...maybe... and she took a couple wrong turns and got a little lost. Luckily though she did make it back to Maryville safe and sound. My drive was a bit longer. I think I made it home around 4:30am, and slept 'til noon. that was nice. Then I got up go dressed (as Kirby) and went to the store with Mom and the Kids. I help pick out accessories for Sarah's outfit and stuff. That was good, then we all got ready, and I took a nap. Then went to the Trunk-Or-Treat Halloween/Fall Festival at the church which was good! The YSA had our own little corner where there was a spider toss and a mummy wrap hahaa fun stuff! I even ended up convincing Brandon to let me wrap him up
Bryan was a cowboy, and I drew a 'stache on him. Matthew was Paul Bunyan. His big blue ox, was left at home because it was allowed at the church. haha. Oh and Dad was the 18th Minor they pulled out in Chilie. (right?) Sarah was Cinderella, and Mom was The Original Krabby Pattie.
There's really not been much going on right now. I've been working and that's about it. I need to pay more my deposit, buy a car, save money, work on finding a job out in Utah, buy a camera, and find out what's up with my school! I know nothing about signing up for classes or transfer stuff, or anything. But on the Bright side I did get my FASA completed. :)
Oh I also now have Skype! and my webcam should come in a couple of days. Dear family and friends add me! ---->>> sunshine.ward22
