A Look Back On 2015

JANUARY

January was pretty uneventful, other than Alex & I going to the movie theater. Which doesn't seem like a big deal-but we never go to the movie theater. We save our money to go on trips. But we made the except three times this year. This month we saw The Boy Next Door. I recommend it!

I Found The Answer To Your Prayers

This song describes everything perfectly. 

But Mommy already knows that. 

I remember a few years ago her telling me that she was praying for me-and had been-for me to find my "knight in shining armor". 

I finally found him.

Every one that knows Alex & I as a couple knew from very early in our relationship that we were perfect for each other. 

Over four years later, he still treats me like a princess. 

He always takes care of me, helps me put my coat on, opens doors for me, never loses his patience with me-especially when I have panic attacks...he always comes to my rescue to make sure I'm all better, is just as obsessed with Christmas and the other holidays JUST as much as we do!,  we never argue-so I'm sorry to Sierra when she asks for some..gossip? Idk the word for it! haha! & he constantly reminds me how much he loves & cares about me. I could go on & on :P.

He is always amazing to me! Always.

So you know you never have to worry about me because he's always taking care of me.

And he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me

Love you, Mommy!

These are some of the best things ever. I found the recipe a couple of Halloween's ago & it has been a hit every Halloween since. And they're super easy to make!!

10.5 oz bag of Fritos
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
Candy corn

Directions

Butter a 7x11 pan.
Pour bag of fritos in large bowl & crush them.
Over medium heat, heat corn syrup & sugar to boiling, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, take off heat & mix in peanut butter & stir until smooth.
Pour the mixture into the large bowl with the fritos & mix together.
Put the mixture in the pan & flatten out.

It's deeeelicious. I love anything with peanut butter!

We're Engaged!

Past Halloweens!

It is October! My favorite month out of the year. The cool, crisp air...crunchy, colorful leaves...sweaters & boots, & knowing all of the holidays are coming up! Ever since I was little-I've been obsessed with Halloween. 

Now that I'm too old to go trick-or-treating (big super sad face)...coming up with what to do on Halloween has become a bit of a challenge. I live in a neighborhood that has 0 trick-or-treaters...so handing out candy is a no go. I don't "party"....so that is out too. When I stopped going trick-or-treating...it was in 2010. That year I invited some friends & family (it was only like...5 people-including myself) to a Halloween party in our basement. I made tons of Halloween-themed food, we played games & watched the original Halloween movie. In 2011, I went with my family to a different house to hand out candy. In 2012, I actually went trick-or-treating this year! I forgot about that. Ha. In 2013...all I did was dress up with some family & carve a pumpkin. Last year, I threw a Murder Mystery Party with my family. It was a blast. I cooked a fall-y meal & tons of Halloween treats. 

This year? Well....I've decided to just throw a party for some family at my house. My family is actually hiring a tarot card reader earlier in the day on Halloween. Then they're coming to my house to eat a yummy fall-y meal...with lots of halloween goodies & candy. Play some games, Pumpkin Carving Contest, Costume Contest (for the contests, Facebook friends will be the judges), & then settle down and watch the original Halloween 1 & 2 movies. 

Let me show you some of my past Halloween costumes. I have dressed up every single year of my life. 

My first ever Halloween..I was a clown & just under 8 months old.

 My second Halloween I was an Indian.
