trick or treat

i have always loved halloween.
it was the candy & the costumes when i was little.
college was all about the fun to be had at parties & the bars.
in 2005 it was celebrating our anniversary & 1st halloween together.
october 31, 2007 chris proposed.
now it's just an excuse to get together with friends.
it's always been a little more about the treat & not so much about the trick.
last year, elizabeth messina put the treat vs. the trick in perspective.
"here’s the thing, life is full of things that can scare you.
& growing up is wrought with bumps & twists.
so for us…its sweets, pumpkins with hearts & cute costumes."

that's my kind of halloween.
