Just What I Needed

I had a pretty crummy day at work on Thursday but got the best text message on the way home - from one of my 2 favorite sisters-in-law.

It made my whole week!

Guess What?!

JORDAN'S ENGAGED!!

And it's about time! - you know, because she's been home a whole 4 months.

She's just almost an old maid. Geez.

I really am super excited though! She's so, so happy and David is just awesome. (We've actually known his whole family my whole life and they are great. They've basically always been family, but now it's official!)

I got to help out with the whole proposal thing, which was super cool. David sent Jordan on a scavenger hunt that ended up the mountain by Squaw Peak. We set up a table and chairs with battery-powered Christmas lights and tea light candles in mason jars hanging from the trees. It turned out super cool.

 

After we had set up and we saw Jordan coming, I drove up the mountain a little way to wait. While I waited, I got into my Flo costume because I was going to a Halloween party right after. They called a little while later for me to come back to take some more pictures.

They laughed so hard when Flo appeared out of the forest. It was pretty funny.

It was a great night and I am so, so excited for their new adventure - together!

Happy Halloween!

I sure do love this holiday.

I have been planning this year's costume since Nov 1st, 2011.

Here it is:

The reason that it's so funny is because I work for a competing insurance company.

It's a simple costume but I put a lot of work into it. I actually watched a YouTube video (a few times) to get her make-up just right.

I won 2nd place for best all-around costume at work.

I'm #2! I'm #2!

I was robbed for sure.

Now I have to start planning next year's costume...
