Happy Birthday Bro! Happy Halloween!

Its Andrew's 28th Birthday today and I wanted to wish him a great day!

When we were growing up, Halloween was always a big old party. Of course you have the trick-or-treating, but with a birthday involved-it just takes it to a higher level. We would have family come over to have some witches brew (dry ice and homemade rootbeer), sloppy joes, candy, and fun. It was always so great! And our neighborhood had the best houses to go to. Not necessarily for the candy, but for the good times. Our Bishop had a talking pumpkin out front and that thing was so smart it knew what you were wearing, who you were, and it even knew what you were saying in a whisper. It was so cool. If I ever figure out how they did that, I'm going to start doing it in my neighborhood.

Another cool house was the Anderson's(?) house. This house was tucked way back in, up a dirt road in a forest like atmosphere. The hike up to their house was sooo scary because they had people hiding in the trees and it was so dark. They also had some pretty intimadating swans that you had to stay clear of, but thats another story. But at the end you were rewarded with delicious homemade doughnuts. Oh, it was great.

Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW! We will be thinking of you and hope you get a lot of good candy from the iraqies.
