Halloween was a blast this year! My bestest friend and I danced the night away, and won 3rd place at the bar's Halloween contest. Woot Woot

Donnie & Mikey

--let me just say how amazing my best friend is. I was having a rough week with my grandpa passing and didn't have time to make my costume. So she went ahead,  made my shell for me and bought everything <3 I love her

Last minute my boyfriend decided he wanted to dress up. He chose to dress up as Nurse Kasey(my best friend)!

He put on Kasey's scrubs, name tag, head band, and my glasses. I put on the makeup

Hilarious!

family

Finally, a time to reflect on my crazy week. On Monday, October 22, my grandpa past away. It was sad for the entire family and a lot of tears fell. We will really miss him and think of him forever. While looking at old pictures, I found some favorites. 

Grandma Irma and Grandpa Ferman

grandparents again(all time favorite)

After the funeral we all went to my grandma's for lunch. Since all the cousins were together we had to take a picture.

Then my brother got a good idea!

It was so much fun being with the whole family all weekend. The best part about my family is the laughter. As soon as Irma walked into the door after the funeral, she looked and me and said "I think it's time for a beer!"

my birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. I decided to take the day off work. It really was a relaxing, beautiful day. I watched Glee all morning and made some coffee.

I wanted to make pancakes, but didn't have syrup, so I saved it in a ketchup container to eat later.

my boyfriend gave me the best birthday present a 25 year old girl could ask for

I also went a fetched my new car

On my way to get my car at my grandparents, I got the call my grandfather had passed away. He had been in a nursing home for sometime now. He is now in a happier, more beautiful place. I will miss him forever

nephews

Sunday morning I got to watch 2 of my 3 nephews for the day. They are such a huge part of my life. I love them to bits.

two years

October 20, marked 2 years together. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years now. We ate at Tumea & Sons, a little "mom and pop" restaurant in Des Moines. We had never ate there before, but will be going back. AMAZING!
