Howdy y'all. Well, it's only four weeks until the new baby will be here. Man time really flies and there is still a lot to do. Angel and I finally got to go on our honeymoon a few weeks ago. We went for the weekend to a local bed and breakfast and had a great time. We did end up with a funny story though. Her sister, Codi, had to come by our house to pick up some things so we gave her the code to the alarm system. She put the code in wrong and set the alarm off. She called us so we could talk to the police when they showed up. We came up with one of those Mastercard commercials: Small wedding: $200, Wonderful honeymoon: $200, having to leave your honeymoon to reset your alarm and talk to the police: Priceless.
Ok time for a little rant. Halloween has just passed and I'm bothered by something. Why do we spend so much money on costumes? What happened to the days when we made our own costumes? For me, that was one of the great things about Halloween. I loved making my own costumes and trying to pick out something different each year. I was a pirate, a hobo and many other things. This year our daughter went as a Bratz doll and she loved it. She had the clothes and Angel fixed her hair and make-up. She looked really cute and we didn't spend any money. The people she went to trick-or-treating really loved her costumes and the ones I enjoyed the most were the ones who made their own. this world has gotten so commercialized that all of the holidays have lost their meanings.
I hope that the saying is true about things from the past coming back around and I hope that I am still alive to see it. It would be nice to see us return to the world I remember from my youth so I can experience it one last time.
Always remember what you loved about growing up and pass those experiences on to your children. It can start with us and we can change the world. Goodnight all and talk to y'all later.
