Hippie Love

On Friday night our family attended our church Halloween party. I have to admit, I'm not crazy about Halloween - the dark, the cold, and especially the gruesome - but I do enjoy the dressing up part. And since this party was being held indoors, it seemed like a good fit. The Mr. isn't as enthusiastic about dressing up as I am, so I was a little hesitant to initiate this conversation:

"Honey, would you like to go to the church Halloween party?"

"Sure."

"Would you be willing to dress up with me?"

"Okay."

"Really? Like you'll wear a wig and everything?"

"Sure."

Wow, that was a lot easier than I anticipated. I figured once I showed him the costume I'd come up with, he'd change his mind. But he didn't. Even when I told him he'd have to come to the church by himself with his costume on (because the kids and I would already be there for a play rehearsal) he was still okay with it! And he wore it the entire evening without altering anything. How could I not love this guy.?
And, contrary to popular belief by our fellow church members, we didn't really dress like this when we were teenagers. Please. We're not that old.
