Best Holiday Ever (excepting Christmas, of course)

I LOVE Halloween. Why? Because it's the one time of the year that you can be anyone you want to be! It's a time to show off your creativity, and have fun, and collect candy. What is better than that?! This year, I didn't have time to come up with and make an awesome Halloween costume, but I did make a sweet Jack-o-lantern, so I thought I would share it here along with some of the coolest ones I have seen. :-)

So this is my Cecil-o-lantern. Pretty awesome. In case you don't know, Cecil O. Samuelson is the president of BYU.


The rest are just ones I happened to find online. This one I just think is a clever and fun idea.


This one makes me laugh. Simple, but funny.


This is hilarious! The pumpkin seeds as seeds on a bun--great idea. This could start smelling real bad real fast though.


This is what I considered doing this year--Michael Jackson from the Thriller. Whoever did this did a really good job!


Someone went to a LOT of work for this, but it turned out great. It reminds me of Picasso.


And of course, saw the owl, and couldn't pass it up:

Leona Lewis | Better In Time

This is one of my favorite songs. I feel like it's been my theme song! It has this sad quality to it, yet so empowering and optimistic in the end. I love this song so much! Leona Lewis's voice and energy are amazing. Please listen to the lyrics!



It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going, coming
Thought I heard a knock
Who's there? No one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice, you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All that I know is I'mma be okay

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I'll believe in
And I know time will heal it
If you didn't notice, boy, you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'mma be okay

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is, I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

[Chorus: x2]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to (yes I do)
It'll all get better in time

Personality Test

I am a firm believer in this personality test. The result I got almost perfectly describes me; in fact, some of the stuff I have read about my type is a better description of me than even I could give you. I am INFJ, which is actually the rarest of types. I'm not saying that is a good thing though. :-) Take it; you may learn something new about yourself. The link is below:

Lady Gaga | Brown Eyes

When I first heard this song, I couldn't believe how perfect the lyrics were for me. It seemed to parallel some of the feelings I was having. The style of the song is wonderful too. Beyond that, I really do love brown eyes, especially light brown. Sure, they may seem plain to most people, but they are so beautiful. I am a sucker for them, for sure.



In your brown eyes, I walked away
In your brown eyes, I couldn't stay
In your brown eyes, you'll watch her go
Then turn the record on and wonder what went wrong
What went wrong

If everything was everything but everything is over
Everything could be everything if only we were older
I guess it's just a silly song about you
And how I lost you and your brown eyes

In your brown eyes I was feeling low
'Cause they're brown eyes, and you never know
Got some brown eyes, but I saw her face
I knew that it was wrong
So baby, turn the record on, play that song

Where everything was everything, but everything is over
Everything could be everything if only we were older
I guess it's just a silly song about you
And how I lost you and your brown eyes, brown eyes

Everything was everything but baby, it's the last show
Everything could be everything but it's time to say goodbye, so
Get your last fix and your last hit
Grab your old girl with her new tricks
Honey yeah, it's no surprise that I got lost in your brown eyes

In your brown eyes, brown, brown eyes
Your brown eyes, brown, brown eyes
Got some brown eyes, brown, brown eyes
Your brown eyes
