HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Hey everyone!!! We want to wish ya'll a very Happy Halloween and hope you have tons of fun!!! We put up our goblin decoration tonight with some scary music playing and it turned our really cute. We even had a few trick or treaters so we're excited. We had one lady tell us she loved our decorations and one little boy who took off running when he heard the creepy music. I felt bad so I explained to him that it's fake and it's only a decoration then loaded him up with some candy so he was happy. Also, since we didn't really have anything planned out as far as costumes go, I went to the store and bought us Michigan State T-Shirts(Go Spartans) for our costumes. I can't believe how competitive Michigan State and University of Michigan fans are. We were standing outside putting up our decoration and a couple walked by and said to us, Hi, GO BLUE(University of Michigan) cuz we had our Michigan State Shirts on. It was pretty funny. Our neighbor downstairs came over for dinner and we cooked some steaks and dutch oven potatoes. It was a really great Halloween and we hope you all are having a great one too!!

Will carving out the top


Carving out the face


CarVin the GINORMOUS puMpKiN!!!


So yesterday night Will n I took on the job of carving out our 100 lb pumpkin. I thought it was going to be so hard and it would take us forever. I was really shocked when we cut the top off the pumpkin and there wasn't hardly any seeds inside. It only took us about a 1/2 hour to carve it up. It's soooo cute. We both really love it. Hope you enjoy it too. We're trying to bring in some trick or treators with all our decor and stuff cuz I stocked up on candy and I'm going to make some popcorn balls to give out. So hopefully we get some kids or Will and I are going to be really full come Halloween night!!

Driving up to my School

This is a picture of what I see every morning driving into my school. It's sooo pretty. There are huge trees that line the whole driveway. It's like having a school right in the middle of the forrest. I LOVE IT!!!

My School!!!


This is the front doors to the Cooley Law School. It's only about 1 year old and it's soooo nice inside. They have brand new everything and it's all top of the line!!! I am really liking school and even though it's really tough, I know it will be worth it.

Chrysler Headquarters Building


The Chrysler Building

I get to drive past the Chrysler Building every morning when I leave school. It's one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen and it's huge. This picture doesn't do it justice. My school is actually right across the street from Chrysler headquarters.

Fire Hydrant Red Bushes!!

It' s so amazing how many colors the trees turn here. They get so bright and pretty. These were our green bushes about two weeks ago and now they are red as the fire hydrant behind them.
