Weekend B4 Halloween

We've been married for more than three years now, and every October we lightly discuss the great potential for our Halloween costumes. I'd say we're both buttoned-down people who can be counted on to follow-through on our word, except when it comes to this. The month always sneaks right past us and we're left with a half-eaten bucket of candy that never saw a real trick-or-treater.

We never let the weekend BEFORE Halloween slip away without some fun, however, and this year (following through on our second-annual tradition), we saw the Odyssey Dance Theater's production of Thriller at Kingsbury Hall...





 
...AND enjoyed our first east-view win with the Utes at Rice-Eccles Stadium. I felt so grown up sitting with fellow alumni/season-ticket holders in the "real seats." We also didn't have to squint the whole first half waiting for the sun to go down--quite a luxury.


I must admit, Matty built a darling last-minute costume with the help of Deseret Industries that he'll strut for his colleagues tomorrow. (You'll have to stay tuned to see that beauty.) In the meantime, don't be surprised to find us disguised as Rapunzel for our niece Brooklyn's "Tangled" birthday party today. Yep, I meant to say us.

Time 2 Blaaawg

We recently discussed why we haven't blogged in over a year. Here's how the conversation went:

Amanda: Why have we not been blogging?
Matty: I don't know. Because we have nothing to say?
Amanda: (Type, type, type)
Matty: That doesn't make me sound very nice.
Amanda: (Erase, erase, erase)
Matty: What are YOU gonna blog about?
Amanda: I just want to blaaawg.

And so we're back, with no direction of thought. Just sharing what's on our minds and hoping our little icon will vault to the top of your "blog list." Thinking if we post frequently enough, you might stop by for a visit.

We love comments, too, so feel free to share your thoughts with us, even if you think you have nothing to say (we'll make you feel right at home).
