Keep It Spooky

One of my absolute favorite times of year is happening right now. I love Fall in California. I don't care about leaves changing, or anything like that I enjoy 80 degree days, football on the weekends and getting ready for Halloween.

It seems to me that there is a certain segment of the population who hates Halloween. They think it is demonic, and horrible, and ruins kids lives. To those people I say chill out. Halloween is a fun excuse to have a creative costume, load up on candy, and carve pumpkins. To me, that seems pretty great. That being said, there is one piece of advice that give every year about this time, DON'T SLEEP ON TYRONE!



I did a bit of pumpkin carving this year, than ever before. My first pumpkin was a result of my hard work at Family Home Evening.


Am I narcissistic enough to carve a Pumpkin with a big "P" on it for Peter? Of course I am, but this is in fact a P for Pepperdine. I am developing a tremendous amount of school spirit. This Jack O'Lantern was displayed proudly outside my front door. It had a tough weekend though and sort of deflated. But it looked good up until then.


Don and I did most of the carving last night but my cousin Alexander did get his first crack at pumpkin prep work. I carved Bronte's. It is the one on the right, if you can't tell he has a beret. I don't know if it is raspberry or not. We were all pretty impressed with our craftsmanship.


This gentleman with his new haircut was my roommate last night. He is very loving, and fun, but he did spend a considerable amount of time stepping on my face, and woke me up at six this morning to go outside. Winston and our cat Muffy have a very strange relationship. He is intrigued by her, and she seems slightly entertained by him.

My new ward had their big Halloween party on Friday night. I watched the Cougs play poorly against TCU instead of going, so I may just dress up as a cowboy and hang around the apartment tomorrow and work on a paper. Nevertheless I will enjoy Halloween because it is super fun.

Well certainly Mary you could be Muffy, as there are a plenty of young lads that entertain you slightly. There are also many that find you intriguing.
