Happy Halloween, everyone!
Billy as the Mad Hatter
Yours truly as Bat girl
Billy told you here
how serious we take Halloween..
go big or go home is our motto.
Well, Billy won $200 for Best Costume
and
I got my car towed for $150.
A $50 profit = I'd call that a success.
His outcome a little more positive than mine, but hey..
Full recap on the weekend events will be tomorrow.
But I will say this....it was epic. So many juicy stories to rat out on Jess about share and the Buckeyes took the WIN against Wisconsin. Who SAW THAT GAME?! Absolutely amazing I'm tellin' ya!
and look who was cheering on my Buckeyes all the way in Texas....
my love Steph from a BEAUtiful mess
and
her awesome hubby Beau doing O-H!
they like to say it's because they need Ohio State to win so Houston would move up in the rankings....
but I know the real truth
...the Buckeye bug has hit 'em hard ;)
......
Today, I have a very heavy heart as I'm attending a funeral for one of my Mom's good friends. Both battled a strong fight with Breast Cancer for 13-14 years and are now at peace together and cancer free. Joy {the most fitting name for her} has continued to show me support over the years and always referred to my Mom as her source of inspiration. She was a wonderful mother of 3 girls and wife...truly a family that I look up to.
If you are blessed to still have your mother in your life, please hug her a little tighter for me today!
RIP Joy
I love that I read all of this like it's new news to me!! Haha VIProstitute right herrrr!
