what an awesome day I had yesterday... couldn't have been better. Started off with an early morning gym session, then a 5k then finishing a group project for school. Then a friend came over and helped me do some face painting for my costume for a party later.. then a few more friends came by.

With my friends here, and me in my full halloween get up, my SIL stopped by with my 6 year old niece. I have not seen them in over 4 months. My niece gave me a huge hug and I was so happy to see her. My SIL got to see me being really happy with a bunch of friends around and she loved my costume. The only negative was that my 12 year old niece was not there (getting too old to be with her mom on halloween). But on our way to the party, my older niece sent me a text saying how great my costume was and that she wished she could see it. Really put me on cloud 9.

Then it was off to the party. There were only 4 people that I knew that were there, everyone else was more or less strangers.... but what a good time. Some very serious costumes and they went all out decorating their house. Very social, everyone was just having a blast. There was definitely a lot of flirting going on, nothing serious but just to see that that interest was there was great. Ended up there until 4 in the morning... yikes.

I can honestly say that while I was there, my wife was not on my mind 1 bit..... it was just fantastic.
