Nate and I had a fun Halloween this year - one of my girlfriends made an Alice in Wonderland costume a few years ago, and when she moved she decided that 'she didn't have the hair to pull it off' and left it with me. So this year Nate and I went as Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter. This was appropriate because Nate can look extremely mad, as evidenced by the pictures I got of him. We also had a sweater that had Sponge Bob on it, so we dressed Cricket up. Nate is very distressed, because he now has to change his opinion on people who dress their dogs. The jury is still out on whether this will happen or not - some people who dress their dogs are quite strange. Maybe we're quite strange as well? Anyways, Cricket looked adorable.
We didn't get as many trick-or-treaters as we were expecting, so we have a ton of candy that needs to get eaten, which we fully believe that we can handle. After trick or treating, we went to something called the Farm Party, where Earlham's working farm opens its doors for the evening for the students to have a party - there were bands and everyone was huddled into the barn, which I'm told is pretty normal. Turns out we didn't get the memo that its COLD in late October. We still had a lot of fun. Ironically, one of our friends came as the Chesire Cat, totally independant of us. We got a picture with her, which hopefully will surface in the next week or so.
Cricket we think will be leaving us soon - the regional director for PCAR (papillon club of America rescue) says that as soon as he is up on the website, people will start sending in applications for him. This is causing quite a bit of pause in our house, because he's
become very much a part fo the family. Its probably better that we don't keep him, but we've grown to love him so much! Luckily, we get to pick the home that he goes to, so its guarenteed that we're happy with the placement. But thinking about him leaving makes me so lonely. What to do, what to do?In other news, Nate's design for a contest is now in the top three, and we should find out soon whether or not we had the best design. If we w
in, the poster will be put up in 5 different cities for teaching people about protecting run-off, and we will be the owner of a shiny new iPod (important because both of ours are broken). It makes me think of last Christmas, Nate's grandmother gave us a bookmark that said that there are two ways of spreading light; making it yourself, or being a mirror to reflect it. She asked me which I was, and I told her that I was pretty sure I was the mirror; Nate is so creative, and I'm his manager of sorts. I make sure he always has new ways to be creative, and that many people see his designs. I'm always so proud of him!I have to go meet my girlfriends for the evening, but we miss all of you! Hope to hear from you soon. Love!

I first saw the picture of Nate (looking mad) on facebook. I was at Christian's reading and he told me he had to go to the bathroom, but to check facebook because there were "interesting things afoot." He put a sticky note with a speech bubble near Nate's mouth that said "We're family!" to that picture. It was quite funny. (And Cricket looks very cute. I also have a problem with people who dress their dogs, but his costume was just a decorated sweater, so I think it's okay.) Glad things are going well!
