Our next activity was a Halloween party for my work. My classroom was the "mad scientist lab" and me and Brad gave out tattoos. My boss was a ruler because she is the ruler of the school. I thought that was cute! We also had to make a pumpkin for a contest. Sadly, we did not win.
Next was a Halloween party that Brad and I had at my house last night. We spent all day getting ready for it. We made dinner in a pumpkin, rolls, salad, spider cookies, eyeball deviled eggs and homemade rootbeer. I had fun seeing baby Mckayla and Hayzl. 14 of our friends came for dinner and then we sent them out on a picture scavenger hunt.
While they were gone, we cleaned up and started getting ready for the rest of the party. I was downstairs setting up some stuff on the ping pong table and talking to my parents and some friends. Brad came down and we had some stuff to take upstairs. When we got to the kitchen, there were a dozen roses, a little box and a piece of paper. He told me that he wanted to get me a little present for our one year anniversary (we met on halloween last year at a party I had at my house). So I opened up the box and pulled out a necklace that had a really big ring on it. He said, "you know, the size of the rock shows how much I love you." And I was like, oh ok, thanks. And then he said that since I wrote a list of reasons why I love him, that he made a list of reasons why he loves me. So I read that and then we were just talking and he pulled out the real ring, without me noticing and got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes of course! :) I am so happy!!! He did such a good job at surprising me. He told me that the ring I liked had been bought and wouldn't come in till next week probably. When, in reality.. he really had had it for about 2 weeks! I really believed him, even though nobody else did, so it was the best surprise!
My mom had been in on it the whole time so she was downstairs all ready with the camera. I never thought I would be dressed as a mummy the day I got engaged so it made for some good pictures. haha I could not stop smiling, even when he tried to kiss me.
When everyone got back from the scavenger hunt, I tried to hide my ring so that we could tell them all at once. But, I was telling Brad a secret and put my hand up to his ear without thinking and my friend, Mariana saw it and said, OH.. MY... GOSH!!!! Then everyone ran over and started screaming when they realized. It was pretty funny.
After all that, we played a game of musical candy and then voted on the best costume of the night. We all crammed in the family room to watch the movie, "Godsend". (thanks for the recommendation Lins!) It was a good, scary movie and a very fun night!
Here are some pictures of my ring! We get married on December 31, for those of you who don't know! :)
