Happy Halloween!

We missed writing last week because we had Keri's dad visiting to go to the BYU vs TCU game. While the game was a disappointment, we had fun entertaining Barry. Keri made him a southern breakfast, and her and her sister, Tori and her husband, Bryan, took him to Hee-Haw's farm in

Pleasant Grove to watch a pig chase, go through a corn maze and pick out some pumpkins. If you have never been to this place, Keri recommends going elsewhere, although it proved to be quite interesting. The corn maze was about 4 feet tall - so hardly a maze, but the pumpkin patch looked like something out of Nightmare Before Christmas with a bunch of dead pumpkins and scary, humongous, dead sunflowers. And to top that all off, Keri and Tori were upset at the lack of supervision in the Petting Farm where people were letting their children run all over the animals. And then the pig in the "pig show" got out of his pen and into a donkey cage next to him during the "show" and almost got slaughtered by the donkey while all of us (including children of all ages) looked on in horror. We still managed to enjoy ourselves and find some awesome pumpkins though.

Matt found a great deal on a 32" LCD HDTV (see attached pic) and surprised Keri with it when she got back from Washington. Matt really likes having TV, Movies, and Xbox 360 in HD now! In Fantasy Football, Keri and Matt both won in Week 7 and are both going to lose in Week 8. Matt is tied for 3rd and Keri is tied for 5th now. Keri has had the most points scored against her of anyone in the league.

We enjoyed dressing up and going to a party at Keri's cousin's house for Halloween as the Geico money and a Geico caveman. Keri loves Halloween and spent the week putting together our costumes, including downloading the "Somebody's Watching Me" song to play on her phone with her costume.

We are looking forward to another busy week - Keri has her awards celebration party for her Heart Walks which will be a nice wrap-up to this year's walk events. And Matt has his usual crazy school-work-club mix but also a flyout interview to San Jose on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please think happy thoughts this week and keep him in your prayers as he ventures out this week and next week to secure an internship. He has also begun a six-week GMAT Prep course on Thurs evenings and Sat mornings (which are already wearing him down). But on a positive note, he took a practice GMAT already and did pretty good for his first time (540).

Oh and today marks the celebration of our 6 month anniversary of marriage!
