Halloween!

Can you believe October is over? This month FLEWWW by!! I haven't blogged in a couple weeks, so here are some updates:

-Last weekend was my best friend Abby's Bachelorette party! I had such a great time! Her sisters Katie (she will always be Katie to me) and Jen did a fabulous job planning everything! I picked up Abby at her mom's house then we headed to Indy to pick up Taylor, her friend from Butler and fellow bridesmaid, as well as her cousin Kerry (also a bridesmaid). We then headed to the Embassy Suites Hotel, where Katie and Jen had set up the suite for a Lingerie Party! After some margaritas and presents, we headed out to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner. I hadn't been there since Middle School! It was only a 5 minute walk from the Hotel, and luckily it was beautiful weather! We didn't realize how close Howl at the Moon was to the Spaghetti Factory, and we had some time to kill before we had to be there by 9 so we stopped in at a bar next door for a quick drink. We then went to Howl at the Moon, which I had never been to. Katie and Jen got Abby a special package for Bachelorettes (the last hurrah I think it was called), so we were front at center with 2 tables in front of the stage, where they had 2 dueling pianos. It was so loud in there, we had to scream to talk to each other! Katie was such a trooper since she couldn't drink (If you read this Katie, I wanna know if it's a boy or a girl!!!), so she took plenty of pictures. You will be surprised that I didn't talk Abby in to dancing on stage (that would be Taylor), but that didn't mean I didn't enjoy it none the less! We went to Steak and Shake for some late night food then crashed at the hotel. In the morning, most of us had sore throats from screaming at the bar, but overall it was a successful night! I got plenty of pictures and us girls behaved (for the most part...).

-Work has been pretty crazy lately. People are always traveling and out of the office, so it is really quiet right now. I think we just want to make it to the end of the year and start over fresh in 2010! I am learning more everyday about the pharmaceutical biz, and there's even more to learn!

-I love Halloween!!! We always went all-out in my house growing up with decorations and costumes! This year will be my first year since high school where I'm home for Halloween! I have been designated to hand out the candy (I hope we don't have TOO many Reese cups...I can't help myself sometimes). Since my mother procrastinated, I had to go out and find a Pumpkin today so she could carve it (I found a rather sad looking one finally since they were gone at EVERY grocery store it seemed). The chili is in the crock-pot and making the house smell amazing!! Last night I babysat 5 kids with the help of my lovely friend Sarah and threw an impromptu party for them. They bobbed for apples, wrapped themselves like mummies, and played a pumpkin bozo game. It was fun, but I was exhausted!

-Next weekend I'm going up to Chicago to see my friend Liz! We have tried to visit each other every month, but we have gone almost 2 months this time! It's her birthday next weekend, and we may go to a KISS concert with a group of people. I hope it happens, because that make for a great blog entry, don't ya think??

-Abby and Brandon's wedding is about a month and a half away!! Our bridesmaid dresses should be here any day, and I can't wait to get mine! It's going to be such an amazing wedding, and I can't be more excited for them!

-Finally, how about those Colts? I find myself more excited each week watching them! I can't remember the last time we played San Fransico, though. I'm STILL waiting to get my Addai jersey sewn up (AHEM, AHEM) so I can look like a legit fan.

P.S. I'm SOOOO ready for college basketball!! BOILER UP!! (and GO CARDS!!!)
