Matt has been waking up around 5 am (some days 4 am) to go to work and then straight to school until 8 or 9 pm depending on the day and the amount of homework.
Our English teacher has so graciously given us plenty of work to keep us from having real lives. We had a HUGE paper due this week that really stressed both of us out. Luckily we finished the paper with only a few angry thoughts directed towards school and our lovely English teacher. And we have 3 even bigger papers due in the coming weeks to look forward to. Hooray. Anyway enough complaining.
We have enjoyed some really relaxing weekends together to keep us sane. Last Friday we had a Halloween themed date. I wanted to make it a surprise for Matt because I love surprises. I planned a Halloween dinner. We had potato ghosts, and dead fingers for dinner with cat pee (apple cider) to drink and caramel apples for dessert.
After dinner we went on a spooooooooky Halloween cruise. We got to the cruise destination (Provo river) a little early and we didn't want to go on the cruise till it was dark so we decided to take a walk down a nearby path. Matt, being the great story teller that he is, wanted to tell scary stories. Thinking quick on his feet he begins to tell a story about a horse named "No hoof". This horse was very self conscious about his no hoof so he would "neigh" at anyone who would judge him because he didn't have a hoof. He would "neigh" so loud that it would kill them. The story ended up being more comical than scary.
After the scary story telling we went on our exciting Halloween cruise! The river was so spooooky with jack o lanterns along the bank of the river. It was a lot of fun. After the cruise we intended to finish the night with a scary movie. After no luck at red box, we decided to try and find a scary movie on TV. We ended up falling asleep on the couch watching "Baby Mama".
On an unrelated, but equally scary, note. We have been having issues with spiders and flies terrorizing our bedroom at night. For the past week we have had a few annoying flies and spiders creeping around in our bedroom right before we go to bed. The flies are just annoying. They don't really bother me to much, but they drive Matt crazy. He usually ends up swatting a pillow around the room until he is either A) too exhausted. B) Sure he killed the fly. C) or can't find the fly anymore and just assumed it died. The spiders are a completely different story. I am not too fond of them and neither is Matt. Every time we encounter a spider it is a battle of who will be brave enough to smash it. And to make the spider fears worse we thought it would be fun to watch arachnophobia the other night. It was on TV and we had nothing else to watch.
We are looking forward to Halloween and all the fun stuff involved!
